Now in a definite quandary - my current car is going back in September and with the discount levels on the current 7er, I was looking at potentially sliding into a 745e. However the last two times I have been stung as the new LCI or new version of my current vehicles has been released hence lowering the residual on my car. I plan on keeping the new one for four years, should I stay clear of the 7er and go for something like an 8 series which doesn't seem to be looking at a revision for a while or stick with the current 7er??

I had an Alpina B6 GC hated it. Sold within 2 weeks. These big sleds aren't sporty at all
The B6 GC was horrible handling and sport wise compared to the M6 I had I would agree the B7 is probably sporty for what it is but still I wouldn't classify it as a sport sedan. Like I said in this space S class rules and it's proven again and again by double or triple the sales of the 7 with class leading interior A massive sedan like this if I were in the market would be an S bc I'd want the best

Tesla's interior has poor materials and looks nothing like the new S
BMW is matching old gen MB two screens

Mercedes S Class was and will be always benchmark for luxury in its segment.
Alpina? Doesn't count since it is not a BMW. Alpina is a manufacturer. |

On this forum, a BMW will never be exciting from an aesthetics standpoint because everyone here wants BMW to remain the same. From all the dislike on a Tesla-like centre stack, BMW really only has two choices, keep the general layout the same, dash and separate iDrive screen or dual screens. BMW really can't win because people like something for one manufacturer but castrate it with another.
What we should all do is just ditch Tesla, BMW, Mercedes and Audi and all just go to Porsche, right? |

We don't know details about the M750e yet, but this could certainly be it. Also, we do not necessarily know every ICE model yet.

Either way, a quad exhaust definitely suggests a high performance model. I’ve long wondered whether engine downsizing would eventually lead BMW place the high output I6, typically exclusive to smaller M vehicles, into larger vehicles instead of a V8. I’m not saying that’s what this is, but it’s another possibility. |

BMW has a tradition to bring the exhaust of top-end from last generation as low-end in current gen. An example can be 520d/530i F10 with one-side, rounded exhaust to 520d/530i G30 double-sided one with trapezoid-like ends, that looked similar to 550i F10 models (at least in M-sport package).
I would expect new 7er will be act the same here: base model will have exhaust similar to the current M760li. At least to me, that makes sense. IMO those small features, that today allows you to distinguish top-end model from base model will be one of the selling points for us, the owners, to switch. While owning high-end model, you don't want to be mistaken with newer base model by random bystanders, right ![]() |

The smallest engines had a single small exhaust, then some chassis had a slightly larger single exhaust - I think the 316i and 318i vs 320i F30 was like this. Then a pair on one side for the 328i, a single on each side for the 335i, then of course quad on the M3. The V8 non-M cars all had the trapezoidal tip with 2 small pipes inside each which was a lovely feature - it all made sense and was easy. The 760Li had a nice chrome rectangular setup to also distinguish it. Now just about everything has a big tip on each side.

Also, while Motor1 did not commit to the 2022 release date for the G70, the established mid-2022 date is all but certain at this point. |

BMW is really going to have to step it up with the next generation. The interior of the current model was lukewarm from the start. The styling was also forgettable until the LCI. I see a lot of them around LA and they look nice besides the nostrils.
