Even under heavy camouflage, it's easy to see that the lines of the 2009 BMW 7-series are tighter and cleaner, echoing the 3-series and the CS Concept, with less of the controversial styling from BMW's Chris Bangle. While the changes to the new car aren't dramatic, they should improve an already impressive vehicle.
The new 7-series, rumored to be unveiled on July 7 of this year, will be based off the company’s new platform, designated F01. The big Bimmer will share this architecture with the next generation 5- and 6-series, including a possible successor to the flagship crown, a future 8-series. A host of technological gizmos make their way into the '09 7-series; Massaging seats, an advanced night vision system, a reworked iDrive system, radar cruise control and an eight-speed transmission. In a market segment where more tech equals better, the 7-series certainly brings a big gun to the fight.
When it goes on sale in early 2009 as a 2010 model, expect prices to range somewhere between $80,000 for the entry level model and $130,000 for the range topper. On paper, the new 7-series looks like a winner, but the true test of BMW's improvements will come when it hits the road. And while it isn't a beautiful car, it is less Bangled. Click through the link below to see a few more images of the spied seven.
