Showed up as a much fine descent over five years back now the hoped-for upcoming BMW 7 series is demanded to strengthen its fame of a creditable flagship sedan. Indeed, it's not a limousine to take folks away, yet is simply a 4-door elegant car standing for its rigidity. The next-generation 7 Series redesign just sounds flavorless supposing a continuer with negligible changes, or even blank refinements. Sure, it will still be long, awesome and distinctive among others to set up screaming matches against Mercedes and Cadillac. That is therefore anything BMW ought to accomplish.

Furthermore, to materialize the automaker's ambition on dropping fifteen percent down is supported by changing current iron materials over much lighter aluminum to some components such as brakes and buffers. In short, the innovative-boasted steel-carbon fiber mixture is, and will continuously become their confidential business.

Approaching to the engines, BMW will keep proudly offering a 6-cylinder, 8-cylinder as well as a 12-cylinder directly-injected turbocharged engine - yet its V12 seems to be excluded. Also expect to witness how a new plug-in hybrid variant debuts. Spotting the features and technologies, we do hope the company to put in some recent systems and outstanding driver's controls. That's it so far for detail changes of the forthcoming 2016 BMW 7 Series redesign which is scheduled to debut in the late of 2015 - hope we will soon post more updates.
