2009 BMW 7 Series

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:52:07 -0500

BMW's much criticized flagship is getting a redesign for 2009 and it looks the controversial styling has finally come into its own with smoother lines and a lot less "Bangle Butt". The 750i model will be powered by a 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 and the top of the line 760i will have a 6 liter V12, both of which will be coupled with a eight speed automatic transmission. As usual with BMW's newest sedans, you'll find a generous amount of new gadgetry such as a night vision system and a camera which detects fog or rain which then warns the driver if the car is approaching an unsafe speed.
