Actually the F01/F02 7er celebrate their third birthday this week. It was on July 2008 that the car was launched. With market sales in Europe beginning in November 2008.

With the arrival on the market about this time next year it will be on it's fourth birthday and right on schedule for it's LCi.

Since it's launch the BMW 7er in it's latest guise has led the market globally in the luxury sedan class. Of course with the vicious cycle which is the luxury sedan segment next year's Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse might have something to say about that.

Visually the car gets a slight update but nothing too extreme to alter the looks, the eight speed transmission finally enters the 7er along with engine updates and some new technology from Connected Drive to Efficient Dynamics with a few surprises thrown in.
