this is crazy! is bmw really going to do this? even with the Alpina B7? considering that the Alpina is coming out, i find an M7 pointless really. what in this photo shows that it could be an m7? im all for it though.
let the complaining begin!! |

No M7. But after the X5 the next candidate for the Tri-Turbo diesel with 354PS will be the 7er. This is an aerodynamic package for the 7er in general.

from the mods made to the vehicle, i think it's just an aero kit. if it were an ///M model, i think there'd be some camo on the back, hiding the exhaust mods, which are probably necessary, given the amount of power an M7 would have to produce.

Not aggressive enough for an M7 IMO.
Probably an M-Sport package of some sorts. Back looks nice...

Don't think this is a full blown ///M version of the 7 series. More like a ///M aero kit only and maybe (hopefully) a few engine tweaks. Overall, not much has changed on the car (on the outside). Also, the ///M versions usually sport the 'air vents' on the front fenders that BMW normally covers up with their camo film during this time of testing and in the above pictures, the front fenders are completely uncovered and no vents are seen anywhere. All ///M versions also sport the distinct quad pipe exhausts which this car doesn't! So again, I highly doubt this is a M7...

I think this might the pre-production version of 7-series Hybrid we have seen awhile ago.

+1 and i think this is more likely the aero package rather than the M7. or they are just covering the front and we are going to see the mule cars later on with more como's which to me sounds highly unlikely.

Did anybody notice that the windshield is cracked and the bra and front bumper seems to be all torn up? Maybe they went off-roading or followed someone a bit too close on a gravel road Interesting too is that the bra doesn't seem to fit the front end even though it appears that the holes where cut out with scissors! Maybe that's due to the 'new' aero kit addition/change at the bottom of the front bumper?!?

Well if you look at the 5 series GT, it has basically the entire front interior of the 7 series (along with all the gadgets), but maybe in different materials/color/trim choices. I also noticed that the headlights look like they came straight from the 7 series as well...

From what I saw, the pricing of the GT is also fairly high - pushing 70k. Therefore the justification of the 7 series ish interior. I like the brake regeneration feature that I saw - too bad it isnt in our cars... |

maybe it's just because of the contrast of white used by the camera that's throwing me off. |
