The 2016 BMW 7-Series unveiled last summer is making its way onto the Australian market, where the 730d entry-level will be available from $217,500.

The list continues with the 740i available at $224,200, the 740Li at $238,000, the 750i at $289,600 and the 750Li at $312.700. Both the 730d and 740i will go on sale this November, while the top of the line 750i versions will arrive at the beginning of next year.

In the engine department, the base 730d will be powered by a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline engine with 195 kW and 620 Nm of torque, with 6.1 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h.

The 2016 BMW 7-Series 740i versions will come with the 3.0-liter turbo petrol engine, but with a higher 240 kW and 450 Nm of torque. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is done in 5.5 seconds in the 740i and 5.6 seconds in the 740Li.

The top 750i versions will feature a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 330 kW and 650 Nm of torque. Both the 750 and 750Li have an acceleration of 4.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h.

Apart the engine specifications, BMW Australia has also announced some styling cues, all 7-Series variants coming with a “Carbon Core” body, most of the parts compressing carbon fiber composites for increased driving capabilities.

Inside the cabin, the 2016 BMW 7-Series will abound with a lot of high-tech features, like Gesture Control, BMW Display Key for interactive screen and gestures, 3D surround-view camera, panorama view, voice control, active cruise control and more.

A full month after unveiling the facelift of the F01 BMW 7 Series, the Bavarians re-open the subject by talking about how much such a model is going to cost.

I’m clearly not very involved in the way the Germans value their products but to my mind that seems like quite a long time to print out a price tag.

Happily though, the new pricing announcement comes with a rather hefty gallery of images containing the new top end luxury sedan.

If you’re wondering what will it take to get yourself the privilege of sitting behind the wheel of one of Bavaria’s most upmarket products you’ll almost certainly not afford it.

Just in case you might, the starting price is $74.195 (destination and handling included). For that you’ll get the two wheel drive, short wheel base V8-powered option.

It might be the entry level version but don’t think somebody with a tarted up 5 Series can hold a candle to it.

If you really want to shut up anybody in the corporate car park you will however opt for a different kind of car. That’ll be the top of the line 760Li.

That’s the V12 powered model that’s only available in long wheelbase form and comes with a price tag of just over 140.000 USD.

It’s a little steep but it offers the smoothest ever 544 horsepower you’ll ever get to see in the quietest ever fashion imaginable.

There are some models in between, including a more powerful V8 and some options with all wheel drive but until the M770i xDrive comes into view, the story is pretty much the same as the original car.
