I believe this is the first time the sedan has been spied, previous spy shots were of the touring.

[remmib]

Might also be the new 7 series, G11?

[raleedy]

Maybe it's both.

[kthankzbye]

It's hard to tell. The size looks like a 5 series but the exhaust tips suggest a 7 series. Either way, can't wait to see what it looks like!

That is possible, World Car Fans (the place I got these pictures from) seems to think it is the 5er though. To me though the wheelbase looks a little too short to be the SWB G11.

The V8 5er has the same basic exhaust tip as the 7's do.


Edit: Scott (on another forum) confirmed that this car is indeed the G11. I guess thats what I get for believing the internet...

Don't care for the taillights.

This is the all new BMW 7er the G11.
It is moving to the next stage of the development programme using its actual body in place of the first prototype which utilised F01 body parts over G11 architecture and sections of the car.

This is the new Carbon intensified BMW 7er the architecture combines press hardened steel , magnesium and aluminium.
And in the heaviest parts of the chassis this will be fabricated in CFRP.
CFRP will be used for the bonnet , boot lid and roof panel.

The new 7er will be the most technically advanced 7er or BMW when it launches in 2015. BMW will make a lot of noise especially its significant weight loss.
The entry 7er model will weigh the same as a current 520d which is significant for its class.
New advancements will be made in Connectivity with a driver/passenger HUD.
New intelligent adaptive suspension and dynamic drive features.
BMW laserlight technology will be an option.
The interior utilises a modern lounge feel influenced by the BMW X5 and i8 in its minimalist and expansive surface appearance.

The pinnacle of the next 7er will be the eDRIVE model combining a four cylinder - plug-in hybrid and will even feature CFRP special aerodynamic wheel rims.
Consumption levels are currently showing higher results than the class best.

The new 7er launches in 2015.

There is serious consideration being given to a new BMW 8er. Coupe
A date of late 2016, 1 year later from the G11 is already identified.

Since that is the new 7er SWB, I take it there isn't much of an increase in wheelbase then is there?

clearly this is camo lights & NOT production tail lights


I participated in a market research interview with BMW a few months back on the G11 (7-series) ... while the exhaust tips look familiar to what I had seen on the prototype ... I would need to get a better look at the front-end to confirm if this is in fact the G11

Thats the new 5

This is the new 7er in SWB form.
Think of the new 7er as a balance between the the Physical and Rejuvenation.

Physical with its lightweight body and chassis will mean the car will hold a serious dynamic edge. As let's face it a 7er is most likely to driven by the owner rather than be chauffeur driven.

Rejuvenation as when it will be used , passengers will able to relax in refined comfort and modern luxury and technology features.

[hayashi_766]

should be new 7er。 bmw generation upgrades follow: 7->5->1->3

[Sonnguyen]

Must be upgrade for oldest model, so F01 is the point.

[F10TH]

G11, can't wait
