2008 BMW 7 Series CGI
January 3, 2008 by Alborz Fallah
The recent 2008 BMW 7 Series spy shots have shown the upcoming 2008 7 Series will undergo some significant styling changes. Putting all the spy shots together, our computer graphic artist has rendered an image of the new 7 Series.

Although the final product may be slightly different than seen above, we anticipate the new model will be more of an evolution of the current shape rather than a total redesign.
The current 7-series is available in Australia as a 740i and 750i as well as the long-wheel-base 740Li, 750Li and 760Li. Power plants range from the 4.0-litre V8 (225kW) in the 740i, 270kW 4.8-litre V8 in the 750i and a massive 6.0-litre V12 (327kW) in the range topping $346,000 760Li.
There are rumours from BMW insiders that the company might launch an M variant of the new 7 series, powered by a tuned version of the V12 found in the 760Li.
The current 7 Series has caused a lot of controversy with its Bangle-butt design but it has been a sales success for the German manufacturer. As far as records go, it is the most successful incarnation in the model’s history.
The new model faces a stronger list of competitors, not only will it have to compete with the S-Class Mercs, but it will now battle the Lexus LS 600hL V8 Hybrid. The new 7-series is expected to hit European showrooms later this year.

Still think the Merc look better in the luxury models ……..The 5 series is a great looking car this still does nothing for me!
I agree BM!
Definately prettier than the current model, though that’s not too hard to accomplish. Agreed though, the S-Class still looks far better than this
Like Bangle’s designs.To me 2007 S class is the most radical looking MB for a long time,both set themselves apart from the staid Lexus.
This is a good thing.
For David………..remember for you! Just You!
MEh kust build the cs already
YES….YES….YES……..
Im with you O…..Strangely enough thats a letter I would say after…..hehehe
BMW 7Series has come to an end.
Why?
Lexus LS 600 hL beats it hands down.
