Now that the X6 concept is out the door, the next vehicle slated for introduction from BMW is the next 7-Series and we’re hearing rumors that it could come as early as the 2008 Geneva auto show in March.
Sources tell the Spies that the next generation will stick to the BMW formula of an evolutionary exterior design change coming after a radical design change like the current model.
If you're hoping for something totally different, you've got another 5-6 year wait.
What WILL be radically different though from the current car is the interior dash layout and control center.
Look for the most sophisticated gadgetry, like night vision 3.0, more exterior cameras than cars should be allowed to have that will survey the perimeter plus secure the car and the most amazing radar cruise control on the planet.
We also hear they have teamed up with a 'Levinson-like' company to bring the next generation of audio/video amazement to the luxury set.
The 7 will also finally get a panoramic roof option ala Mercedes S-Class and the interior material quality will make an Audi A8 look like a Chevy Cavalier.
Well, maybe not that much better but it will be the best in BMW history.
An all new suspension system is being readied and it is supposed to be even more amazing than what's on the market today.
More luxury amenities than humans should be allowed to have are in the mix AND...
The big surprises?
Besides a twin-turbo, 500hp starting base engine?
How about a hybrid version that bests the Lexus LS600h....for LESS money.
The high end luxury segment is going to get even MORE exciting...VERY soon!
