Since it shares platform with Rolls Royce & has hi end leather plus thick carpets, two tone paint, some may look at it as a discounted Rolls Royce 😂😂

The G70 is based on the RR Ghost chassis, so the 7 Series is like an RR for the less affluent.

S7M8 package – INDIVIDUAL INTERIEUR GRAN LUSSO
This package includes full Tartufo leather upholstery + Nightblue trim:
- Alcantara headliner
- Leather upholstery on the dashboard
- Contrasting stitching
- Leather upholstery on the door panels from top to bottom
- Thick carpets

You won't experience this in any version of the 5 Series. It's two or even three levels lower in terms of the interior.

Thanks for sharing those additional details, including the Pininfarina collaboration with BMW.

No one was comparing it to a 5 Series. A 7 Series is still a 7 Series.

The point was whether this ?V8 Edition? truly rises to the level of a special edition for a flagship. Gran Lusso is a nice package, but it isn?t exclusive to this edition. No one is arguing that this is a well-equipped 7 Series.

At the end of the day, it seems the real issue is simply the disagreement over whether this qualifies as a true special edition.

I just cannot move past the front design of this car. I dont see anything else after looking at it.

Even if they had made the front to look exactly like the back, this car would have looked much better.

I like the green and would love to see a G70 in all BRG. Don’t care for the two-tone.

I drove a 2025 740i for a few days last year, it was very comfortable but the I6 engine was not even audible, at this point doesn’t matter if V8 or full EV.
7 series would make sense as EV only but the 740 had a range of almost 500 miles!
Had one as a loaner for a week. Horrific thing, from the canoe-like handling to the tacky plastastic interior. Probably the most disappointing bimmer I’ve ever driven.

This would be a great company car for the V8 juice company.

My i7 eDrive50 has been a very close comparison to the luxury feel & drive of our now gone EQS580 SUV (lease ended).
