Bmw-7-Series-Main

BMW is preparing an all-new 7 Series, and our latest spy photos give us our best look yet at the updated luxury car.

The new shots give us a clear view of the front end, revealing the headlight and grille style. The big story with the new 7 Series has to do with what we can’t see in the form of carbon fiber. The lightweight material is said to be used throughout the car to reduce weight by about 600 pounds.

A new family of modular engines is also expected to debut with the 7 Series, which may use a new inline six-cylinder engine from the family as its base option. Being a top-end luxury car though, expect it to keep at least one V8 option. A new hybrid powertrain is also likely for the car.

Although BMW has made no official announcements, the 7 Series looks like it could be ready for a full debut at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show.
