The Series 7 will debut in the middle of next spring , with its commercial launch scheduled for the end of winter 2023, around the month of March . The firm will implement a range with gasoline, diesel and
two plug-in hybrids, four and six cylinders in line and V8. A new generation of propellants, with 48 Volt technology and an unprecedented combustion system to meet the demanding Euro 7 standard . All with 8-speed automatic transmission and with the possibility of being associated with xDrive all-wheel drive.
750ix is interesting in that it doesn’t have an M in its name but will be offered with the usual list of M Performance parts (steering wheel, body bits, suspension, etc.) as standard.
Standard air suspension, soft close doors, B&W audio. Notable options:
Choice of M Sport or Luxury interior and exterior design
Fully automatic doors like in the new Phantom
Sky Lounge roof
Totally new headlights, with the same “Iconic Glow” designation as the X6 grille. That grille will be available too of course.
Rear seats equal in comfort to the front ones (heating/ventilation, massaging) in Executive Lounge configuration, plus rear entertainment that’s better than the old “shut up, here’s an iPad screen in the headrest for you”.
Same “Natural Interaction” thing as in iX.
Even more better version of B&W audio.
A new driver assist package called “Motorway assistant”.
A whole bunch of BMW Individual customizations.

BMW has started peeling away some of the artificial skin of the next-gen 7 Series.
Mandatory stickers reading ‘Hybrid Test Vehicle’ tell us that this version of the upcoming 7er uses an internal combustion engine with electrical assistance, and plug-in capabilities, as it has a charging port on the left front fender. As you can imagine, details surrounding it are a well-preserved secret, though it is understood to be joined by the usual inline-six and V8 power units. A battery-electric variant, dubbed the i7, will be introduced as well, perhaps with a 120 kWh battery that will enable a 435-mile (700-km) range, taking the battle to the Mercedes-Benz EQS and Tesla Model S
