BMW M7? No, once again, there will be no M7, but a new BMW 7 Series 760Li will make its appearance very soon. Two weeks ago, several online media sites decided to “break the news” by showing photos of what they believe it was the all-mighty BMW M7.

So, we had to go on record and prove that what we’re looking at is actually the rumored, now confirmed, BMW 760Li. The four square pipes, a trademark for the high-end 7 vehicles, was the first giveaway. The aggressive front-end differentiates the 760Li from the other 7 Series models, but it no way it resembles an M car.

And if that wasn’t enough of a clue, then look at one of the side photos, and you will notice the V12 badge slightly covered with tape. Talk about a total giveaway!

The BMW 760Li will be powered by a twin-turbo V12 engine, but unfortunately, we don’t have all the specs ….not yet at least. The 760Li will be unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April, so expect more information and official photos to surface before the show starts.

Now, can we stop this silly game with the M7?

    I dont see much aggressive about the front end compared to the standard car.. and this does not explain the camo’d 7-er with the pointier front end?

  • Frederico Silva

    Any news on the engine ? I would love to know more

    @Frederico Silva: My guess is that it will have 500hp.Bmw usually doesnt put too much effort on the 760i engine.The last time it was a 6.0V12 only producing 450hp so give him the 2 Turbos of the 335i and there you go 500hp.
    PS: Hate Bmw’s decision to have all engine’s Turbocharged.

    wow man, the new 7 series is amazing

    love it !

    Guys the turbocharging is the most sensible option to dropping engine displacement, reducing emissions and improving economy whilst keeping the performance. I think BMW proved with the 335 that it’s more than able to make good turbocharged cars.

  • Daniel Sc.

    Look at this previous photo http://www.bmwblog.com/wp-content/uploads/1-new-bmw-m7.jpg

    The front-end does look more aggressive, I also believe that the 760Li will sport a slightly modified front-end
