I think a 'special' version of the new 7 is a possibillity. Mercedes has the S63 AMG, Audi has the S8 Quattro while I'm betting that Jaguar will be making an 'R' version of the new XJ saloon. But I dont think it'll be graced with an M badge. Unlike Mercedes, BMW has been very careful with the use of the legendary M brand. Mercedes puts the AMG logo on everything from roadsters to SUV'S!
Marketing the new 7 as a sporty luxury saloon would also avoid a clash with the comfort and luxury oriented new Rolls Royce Saloon...
Also because of the new RR saloon, I dont think there will be an E65 version of the BMW L7(it's an extended, mini-limo version of the E38 750 only sold on Asia and the middle east).
What in the hell is that thing?!?! yuck. Not a big fan of the ground effects.
As much as I LOVE the color, it just dosent look good on the car IMHO
P.S. This will be my last post for a week or so. I'm off to Clearwater, Florida in a few hours. Feel free to drop by the Sailing Center and say hello!!! Look for the guy with the numbers 164304 on his sail... thats me
Technically the name wouldn't be "760CSi" because the "C" denotes a coupe. Examples are the 633CSi and the 850CSi.
It is a possibility, but BMW has said that they aren't going to make "M" stand for marketing. That is why we have not seen a X5 with an ///M badge. I think that they will probably do something like they did to the 540iS, which was a E34 540i with a six-speed tranny and M5 suspension work.
The might also push the engine barrier. The V12 in the E38 could be made into something so much more powerful. They tapped a little bit of that when they made the 850CSi, but there was so much more that could have been done.
Steel Grey 760CSi???
