I know, I know, enough with the BMW 7 Series already But the official press release in English has been released to the press and I figured you might be interested learning more about the new 7.
For the past two days, many articles on the 7 have been published and I highly recommend you to go back and read some of them, many valuable information were posted.
In the mean time, here is the whole 118 pages of the English press release and trust me, after reading it all, you will absolutely learn everything about the new BMW 7 Series.
See attached file.

Twin turbo V8 in the 750Li/i.
Twin turbo 6 cyclinder in the 740Li/i.
You don't need to be a genius to extrapolate the missing flagship twin turbo, which is in the making. :woot:

Some interesting items, like the "Black Panel" instrument cluster. Seems to be an electronic display of analog gauges (speedo, tach, fuel, etc.) When the car is off, parts of the gauges remain on the screen. :dunno:
Some silly items, too (IMO) - like the highway speed display. The road speed limit is shown in the display and is obtained from the nav data or by means of a camera by the rear vew mirror (new roads, construction areas, etc.) The press release says this is "so the driver does not have to search for signs on the road." WTF? With active cruise, lane departure, night vision, and now this, the driver can surf the net and not even look at the road. :shake:

Accept the responsibility yourself, Bear. AusBMW (Lord Pyro) does. (Although I think he got caught at LAX this morning with a pocketful of matches and a map to Malibu.)
