We usually associate lively colors with sports cars, but the 7 -series series is far from a performance vehicle. BMWblog Visited Auto Shanghai in China, where we discovered this rather unusual 740i. Correction: It is the 740li, although only a wheelbase size is available for the Bavarian flagship. Although BMW is gradually chrome-plated, the luxury sedan in full size is still used generously. The 21-inch wheels are an individual upgrade and go pretty nice to the G70.
However, it is the daring painting job that emphasizes this 7 Series. We cannot precisely determine the exact name of the color, although it resembles Shakir Orange. Nevertheless, we are not entirely convinced because it appears more peach than red. Regardless of its official name, it is certainly an unusual choice, especially for a 7 -series series. Satin accents that are scattered all over the kidney grille everywhere with the illuminated contour of the kidney grille contribute to the striking presence of the Luxobarge.
We may have bad news if you are still not a fan of the shared headlights. The 7 Series LCI was recently tested and seemed to maintain the unusual layout. In addition, the radiator grille did not seem to be smaller. So do not expect BMW to change the front-end design radically. The life cycle impulse is not intended for the debut this year because it is looking for a world premiere in the first half of the next year.
The 7 -generation 7 Series have been around for about three years and still looks just as polarizing as on the first day. Although we got used to styling, we prefer the previous G11/G12. If we go back further, our choice would probably be the E38. If BMW finally offers the current model an update of the middle cycle, Alpina is expected to revive its setting for range. We hear that it is not called B7 because there may be more than one version, probably including a 740 XDRIVE, 760 XDRIVE and an i7 70 XDrive.
A new sedan is always welcome in a world dominated by SUVS, even if it is just a derivative of an existing model. Alpina’s version of the 7 Series could make more changes than the previous B7, especially since the car has a different internal code name: G72. BMW lovers will know that there is also a G73 designation that is reserved for the tank protection model.
