AMSTERDAM: The next generation BMW 7-Series is revealed at a latest Facebook fan page. These pics were uploaded to the Facebook fan page of a Swiss BMW fan club, and were first published by AutoWeek Netherlands.
The model here is the G11, which is the short wheelbase companion to the long wheelbase G12. Malaysia will likely get the long wheelbase exclusively just as it is with the current F01/F02 model, although grey importers do bring in the short wheelbase as well. The 730d badging on the rear indicates a 3.0 litre six-cylinder turbodiesel under the hood.
Speaking of hoods, the shut line now neatly meets the kidney grille and the headlamps, which essentially hides it. This is very different from the F01/F02 where the hood shut line made itself very obvious positioned a few inches aft of the nose of the car
On an overall, the slimmer look of the car’s headlamps and tail lamps reminds me of the old E38 7-Series, which was the last ‘slim’ 7-Series before things really bloated up with the E65/E66 and the F01/F02.
