BACK THE RUMORS OF A BMW M7

The BMW M3 and M5 have been on the market for decades, with the M4 and M2 having recently arrived, as well as some SUV models with the M designation. For years, and practically since the arrival of a new generation, rumors have surfaced about the possible launch of a BMW M7. After the renewal of the BMW 7 Series, these rumors re-emerged, but ceased when the German brand introduced the BMW M760Li in the year 2016, launching it in the market for 'only' 200,000 euros.The M760Li version features a powerful 6.6-liter V12 engine with supercharging under its giant hood. The performance numbers are impressive, as the 610 hp and 800 Nm of torque are more than flashy for a large luxury sedan that features a more dynamic configuration than the rest of the Series 7 versions. However, it seems that BMW may be working on the BMW M7 that a lot of people are waiting for.The fact is that the Bavarian mark registered in an office of patent the denomination M7, although always has been shown opposite and disinterested in launching a version with the signature BMW M in its luxurious sedan of 5.24 meters of length. It may be that the company is actually considering the launch of a BMW M7, or on the contrary, just want to protect that name for a while so that if in the not too distant future decides to use it.If it did, the BMW M7 would use a remarkably more aggressive aesthetic than that of the aforementioned BMW M760Li, relying on the always outstanding four exhaust outlets, and an even more performance-focused dynamic, but having clear that an M7 is not like an M4 , since it would maintain very luxury and a very high comfort of driving. His rivals would be the Mercedes-AMG S 65 (630 hp) and the next Audi S8, which will not be long in coming.In mechanical terms, the M7 could use the V12 6.6 biturbo engine, or on the contrary, would bet on a slightly smaller engine and with fewer cylinders, but with a more aggressive overcharging. Certainly its power would be slightly higher than that of the 760Li. Anyway, we have to wait, because this is just rumors.
