Like the new 7 or not, many, if not all of the new stuff should trickle down to the F10 when it's released...

Enjoy!

Interesting viewing - especially in light of what new styling cues from this new 7 series will be incorporated into the new 5 series. Seems like BMW is going with the split taillight (where part of the taillight is on the trunk lid) now both the 3 and 7 series have that look - probably a good bet it will show up on the 5 series too. I noticed the nav screen was not split into two screens...probably be the same on the 5 series? The front of the new 7 series actually reminds me of our current 5 series front end...just a bit more upright perhaps? The 7 series hood lines look very simlar to the current 5 series as well. The "bangle" trunk treatment still appears intact...perhaps a bit softened? And, of course, that twin turbo V8...that should be awesome! All in all, I like the new 7 series, the front end seems a bit "disharmonious" between the grills and the lower fascia/fog light area....looks a bit off somehow....

thanks Rudy for posting these vids!

It is said that there will be no V8 diesel for this 7-series, but a strong bi-turbo R6 instead.

Yeah, it will be called 740d and it will have around 330-350hp.
