Neiman Marcus Edition BMW 7-Series Can Be Yours For Just $160,000

Christmas may be months away, but Neiman Marcus has just released their holiday shopping catalog — which, of course, means an overpriced limited-edition luxury car has also been revealed. Following on the heels of last year's Lexus IS F and 2006's 2007 BMW M6 Convertible, this year they'll be offering up the new 2009 BMW 7-Series. Oh joy. Just 31 examples will receive the NM treatment of Champagne Merino leather, Alcantara headliner, and Diopside Black paint. Really though, is there any other way to celebrate the holidays besides buying a $160,000 status symbol? Full catalog description after the jump. More »

2009 BMW 7-Series Hits Web A Wee Bit Early

After teasing us with the new 2009 BMW 7-series, BMW's finally revealed the new 7 via an early leak of press photos to the web. After throwing everything at us from a flowbee-equipped mule to the teaser at the German golf outing, they've tossed the next 7-series at us in every way possible but with the kitchen sink. Every time, it's been nothing but a tease. Well, except for that purported leaked press shot. But somehow these small press photos have wiggled their way out onto the web and we've managed to snap 'em up.

2009 BMW 7-Series Caught Heading Towards Vegas, So Money

While en route to a swinging bachelor party, AutoFiend's editor came upon a 2009 BMW 7-Series testing along the road to Las Vegas (generally a much happier drive than the ride home). This time the 7-series is mostly uncamouflaged and lacking in the Flowbee package; also, it looks as though someone has squirted a bit of water on the flame surfacing relative to the previous generation. Our Flowbee-tastic spy photos below and more photos at AutoFiends.[AutoFiends]

2009 BMW 7-Series Bumper Hits EBay?

According to our friends over at Pistonheads, the best place to get a gander at what the new 2009 BMW 7-Series looks like isn't by setting up a tripod on the Nurburgring or by chatting up the forum fan-boys. Nope, it's heading over to EBay where apparently the front bumper for the next generation F01 BMW 7-Series has popped up on the auction site and is now going for a not-so-hefty 5 Euros. We've no idea if the seller is yanking our chain, but if they are, the joke's pretty damn funny. Now only if someone could tell us where to find our Flowbee package. One more pic from the reverse after the jump. More »

2009 BMW 7-Series...Again

Car und Driver snagged themselves some shots of the next 7-series from Priddy's photographer pride, and they largely show us the same things seen in the shots from last week. Same look at the "Bangle Butt" BMW calls "aerodynamically ideal," same proportions, etc. We've re-included those shots below in case you're looking to peruse them again, mostly because the shots C&D have are kind of small. We're not casting aspersions, just saying ours are bigger, wider and more uncut. But theirs don't have the Euro plate on the front, so we guess they've got that going for them. [Car & Driver]

2009 BMW 7 Series

We're lucky to have snagged these shots of the new BMW 7 Series taken by Shadow, a friend of a Jalopnik reader, while he was out driving the Autobahn A9 outside of Munich. Although it's difficult to tell from all the plastic cladding, the new 7 Series is supposed to have a new more 6 Series-like front fascia with a wider grille and lower headlights than the current model. On the inside our sources tell us the 7 Series will be introducing an all-new iDrive and maybe even an eight-speed transmission. We're also told the 2009 model should hit streets sometime during calendar year 2008.
