Default BMW M7

Is it true that there is a very small number of M7's in production? A dealer told me that it was very low key but there are a very small number of them in the U.S.

No it's not. The only M in production now is the M3 Coupe and Cabriolet.

I heard in 2003 of a possible future BMW M7 with a V12 of +700HP . But, I never saw official confirmation from BMW Motorsport GmBH that it was in production. Nevertheless, you can get the BMW G-Power G7 7.1 (530HP) or the Alpina BMW B7 (500hp).

I found the article that I had read last year. This is really not confirmed by BMW Motorsport GmbH.

OMG that looks bad. That is a 100% photoshopped img. Not even well done so nothing even close to official. BMW are, however, introducing a lot of new numbers to their line. The 4 series are supposed to come according to CAR and DRIVER magazine.

Why the hell would BMW use altezza taillights. That would go againest everything BMW. it looks horrible like that, the gap inbetween wheels, and the wheel wells is way to small, looks like some ricer made this one. Suprised theres no 3 foot wing, and a 5 inch exhaust.

Look at the front wheel well; it is polygonal. The turn signal repeater is the body colour. The front wheel is exactly the same as the rear. LMAO

Even the BMW G-Power G7 V12 7,1-liter 530hp seems to be Photoshop. But this one is more succeeded.

wasn't this discussed somewhere in the forum b4? Someone said BMW would never produce an M7 as far as they're concerned. The Schintzer S7 on the other hand...

Are they ever goin to make a new M roadster after the new Z4? It would be interesting to see a Z4 with the 3.2 inline 6 with over 300 hp.

what would be the purpose of 700hp in a full sized sedan like that? The m5 is perfectly matched, big enough to do everything you need to do, in comfort, and fast enough to handle all your fast-car needs, tight enough to handle as well as most would like. make the car bigger and faster, not the best idea? I couldnt imagine who would even want an M7 with 700hp.
