As featured on homepage.

Here are the first official photos of the 7 series M-sport edition.

It's with the new biturbo 3.0L diesel with 306 hp, believe they will call it the 740d.

Don't like the chrome...

Btw, it's with the new biturbo 3L diesel with 306 hp, believe they will call it the 740d.

vonsazkin · 06-24-2009, 11:54 AM

Oh God! Why that ugly chrome? It looked better in spy shots. The BMW designers have really lost it! The interior is nice, though. And it badly needs to be lowered.

Ryouken · 06-24-2009, 12:14 PM

It looks aight but the chrome needs to go
Not fitting for an M-sport

I like the Interiour

Btw is that Carbon Black?

Photoshop does wonders!

bimmerposter · 06-24-2009, 01:30 PM

OMG this 7 has so many potential

ShaneV78 · 06-24-2009, 01:42 PM

Yes... but what good is a car that only has potential in Black & White?

My word of the day is... Disappointment! The chrome bits just look wrong...

hotrod2448 · 06-24-2009, 01:57 PM

I'd like to see the chrome pieces in a matte finished carbon fiber and for that chrome marker light thing on the side to just go away.

Jason · 06-24-2009, 04:19 PM

That front bumper is MUCH better than the regular edition. Good job.

GreenPlease · 06-24-2009, 04:21 PM

That interior looks HOT!!!

michal12 · 06-24-2009, 04:29 PM

Any other technical specs?
I believe it should be called 735d because there should be a third tri-turbo diesel coming and that one will be the 740d (or 745d..)

I think it looks good. You're all forgetting this isn't a 3 series. BMW's goal isn't to make it look purely sporty and performance oriented. It is a luxury sedan and chrome, generally, is synonymous with luxury. I guarantee most of the demographic buying this car would love the chrome and hate the matte black/carbon fiber stuff some of you are talking about. I have a 335i and I think the matte black/carbon look really completes the car, just like the chrome accents IMO complete the look of the 7.

Fastbuck · 06-24-2009, 05:08 PM

Front chrome looks OK IMO, but the rear is awful!

fijigabe0 · 06-24-2009, 05:10 PM

looks amazing. i think the chrome adds a nice touch, needed for the segment. I think it says "I want to be formal, but I'm here to party".

roozie2001 · 06-24-2009, 05:17 PM

i love how everyone bitching about the chrome drives the 3 series. even though this is a M Sport version its still a Big body luxury car. big cars have chrome. go look at the S-Class, bentleys, RRs, Lexus. You guys forget that people like us that Mod our cars are a minority. People who drive the 7 series are usually 40+ year old executives, doctors, business owners who want a nice luxurious car. Theyre not trying to make it look like a 20 yr old is driving it

the infamous... · 06-24-2009, 05:41 PM

Say what you want but this thing is awesome!! I like it ALOT! +1

Yeah and it's also the M-sport version of the car not the standard 7 series that your average demographic type buyers purchase. People who want just luxury get the individual or the standard 7er. People who want a sporty 7 get the M-sport or Alpina which shouldn't be slathered in chrome IMO.

+1 and those sport rims...just dont work on the 7...on the 1 they would look good...this car needs something to fill the arches much better...i dont get it...dont they make clay models of these cars? surely they would be able to see that straight away as most of us do right??

Lousy copy of the jag xk bumpers

Chips335i · 06-24-2009, 06:12 PM

Those are the same rims that are on the X5 M correct?

I don't mind the chrome in front, but the back just looks wrong. And I don't think a 7-series should have Aluminum trim in the cockpit, again looks wrong. The thick M steering wheel looks great though.

I'll take a 760iL instead thank you very much. This doesnt do it for me.

hanmaas · 06-24-2009, 06:16 PM

god, wtf were they thinking. this isn't an m-sport package, it's an amg package.

mtechnik3 · 06-24-2009, 06:23 PM

I'm in love, that looks gorgeous...great design work!!

JayKay335i · 06-24-2009, 06:32 PM

Reminds me of the lexus LS. I dont like it. Its a shame to call it an M.
