Mixed feelings are going through our mind regarding this newest of announcements coming from BMW. I should point out it’s coming indirectly, but it’s from a BMW insider. BMW Australia’s pricing manager, Cristoph Priemel, is saying that the “home office” in Bavaria is rather split on what’s going to power the future generations of the [...]

BMW offers quite a lot of variations of the F01 7 Series. There are varying length choices for the body, various engines, various trim levels and even some Alpina prepped options. Beyond that, there’s the whole range of options you can tick on or off and the considerable amount of color choices available to make [...]

It is a flagship model and it rarely ever gets complaints since it’s built similarly to tanks except only using stronger materials. A few years down the line however, the E65/E66 (previous generations) of the BMW 7 Series is called to quarters by the NHTSA. The American authority seems to have caught the aging limo [...]

Not that we’re petty or anything but you’d think the folks who are rich enough to own a BMW 7 Series have got things going their own way without the Bavarians actually encouraging them. Unfortunately for our spite, that’s exactly what’s happening. BMW is cooking up two new options for the folks who will be [...]

Moscow’s Motor Show has closed. It wasn’t that long ago and in some parts, analysts are still weighing its newly gained importance on the global motoring scene.

It seems that the Bavarians have gotten down to sorting out everything that was about the BMW M7 rumors we kept on hearing about lately. The sad result is the fact that the M division version of the 7 Series isn’t happening. We’re getting something pretty close though. They will soon make an M Performance [...]

We do our best to keep tabs on BMW’s progress and we cover just about everything they do. By the looks of things, so does specialist tuner Alpina. Having given the F01 BMW 7 Series facelift a proper going over they’ve decided it’s worthy of their approval. That’s why they updated their B7. The Alpina [...]

How many times have we been over this? BMW is a Bavarian company, that means it’s located in Europe, particularly in Germany. While the country’s economy seems to be going fine and dandy, the rest of the continent has less rosy bank statements. That’s had an effect on the kind of sales just about every [...]

It seems like the F01 BMW 7 Series facelift is more of an ongoing piece of kit than we’d imagine. The US market version still has one extra step in evolution to consider. According to Car & Driver, the Bavarians are going to introduce a diesel version of the flagship limo to the US market. [...]
