2009 BMW 7-Series Teases German Golfers

The new 2009 BMW 7-Series won't be officially unveiled until next week, but that didn't stop BMW from showing off a larger-than-life teaser image at this past weekend's BMW International Open in Germany. Of course, they had to show something, since the prize for sinking a hole-in-one on the par-three 17th hole was none other than one of the new Bavarian luxo-barges.

1974 BMW 3.0 CS, With Bonus BMW Poll

We saw a somewhat rough E9 BMW last fall, and now we're going to look at one that's a bit nicer. I've seen this '74 3.0 CS moving around under its own power pretty regularly, while the '73 3.0 CSi seems to be more a work in progress. The 2002s seem to get a lot more love than the big 6-cylinder cars of this era, but we'll see who fares best in the poll after the jump.

2009 BMW 7-Series Testing Artsy Camo

We've seen BMW's 2009 7-series in this sort of trippy camo before, but this time the Bavarians to have toned it down a couple notches. Though we are kind of disappointed this tester isn't equipped with the Flowbee package. Look past the swirly camouflage and you can see the car has a crisper, sharper look compared to the current model. As expected, there appears to be a degree of styling influence from BMW's CS Concept. Of course we'll have to wait for the Paris Auto Show, where this new 7-Series is expected to be revealed, to see how it really looks.

2009 BMW 7-Series

Only lightly camouflaged compared to prior spy photos of the new BMW 7-Series, this newly-caught 7-Series peeked out during what was allegedly a marketing team photo shoot in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks to the shots from CarPoint.com.au, you can see the new grille looks to have a strong resemblance to the CS Concept from the 2007 Shanghai Auto Show. We've been told the styling of the new big BMW has a totally different feeling than the current E65 model, making the car look visually slimmer and tighter. We'll have to see that to believe it given the current explosion in weight and size of every automaker's new models. Expect the new 7er to be officially unveiled no sooner than the Paris Motor Show this fall. [CarPoint.com.au]

More About Angry Face: New Video of BMW CS Concept

This is the second video to hit the hinterlands and interwebs of BMW's new four-door coupe concept the CS. So don't be fooled by the fact that it's claiming "world premiere." Still, at least this one features some decent production value and down-tempo trance. No word on specs, but if the CS is going to compete against the Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin's Rapide four-doors - both of which will probably show up to the gun fight packing 500+ horses - the Bavarian is going to need a V10.

Shanghai Surprise: BMW CS Concept

BMW is showing off the CS Concept car — which may hearken a new high-end sports flagship — at the Shanghai auto show this week. It sports the latest refinements of head designer Chris Bangle's "flame surfacing" aesthetic, with more complex planar transitions and swage lines. We'll get more on the potential new "8-Series" from Shanghai as it comes. More »
