750i Sport

Does anyone know if BMW is going to build a new version of the L7? I loved the 750iL based L7. They were lengthened slightly between the front and rear doors. It wasn't lengthened enough to have rear-facing jumpseats, but the increased length allowed for a full multimedia interior. Only a few were built each year. The car was similar to the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur w/ Division.

I still like the 750iL better than the 760Li so naturally I don't think a new L7 would look as good as the old one. I'm not enamoured with the new design of the current and upcoming BMWs.

Whats different between the E38 iL and E65 Li? what dont you like about the E65 Li?

I really dislike the front-end of the E65, the rear I don't mind as much. The difference between the E38 and E65 that I dislike the most is the body shape when viewed from the side angle. I prefer the more square E38, but it's just personal preference.. I still would like to see a new L7 model based on E65 though I think the E65 is well, unattractive..

Ah Ic.. so you just wanted to see somthing new kinda beased on the look of the E65 but different.

Yes, the L7 is such an ultra rare car so it is only fitting that BMW builds a new version of it based on the new E65. I have seen coachbuilt versions of the E65 with a lengthened interior and a raised roofline, thereby making it look very odd. I think I have a picture somewhere if you want to see it.. I don't think the old L7 had a higher roofline, only an extension between the front and rear doors. I just love these one-off short limousines like the L7, Rolls-Royce Touring Limousine. I'm not that big on the full stretch limousines..

I can't seem to find the picture I had in mind, but nonetheless EBMCS03, here's some from a Russian vehicles site. I found the site using google a while ago when I searched for an extended version of the Mercedes S600L. The new BMW L7 will probably look like the car in the second link posted below. A lot of the stretched BMW 7-Series are build by Mutec from Germany. They have an extended version of the 760Li with a super-long door, I think it looks weird.

The picture I had in mind had both an extended body and higher roof, but I seem to have lost it. Anyway, I just think cars with even a slightly raised roof look awful. Actually, the E65 doesn't look half bad in some of the pictures, I particular like that car in the second link. It's the first time I've said that the E65 looks good, well maybe not good, but decent.

WOoo I Like the 6 door 7er!
