BMW M7

[BMWDave]

I dont think BMW should make this because M is all about sport and agility, and the 7 just seems to big for that.  Thoughts?

[TBR]

I agree with you. Besides, they have stated numerous times that they have no intention of building a M7.

It still looks great.  It would be nice if they made a high performance version of the 7, a la X5 4.8is

Yep, I do agree, but it can't be called a M.

Very nice looking car. I wouldn't complain if BMW built one. The 7-series handling is still a cut above that of other large sedans, so for that segment, it might be agile enough.

Looks great, but I'm not sure it would be necessary for BMW to build it.  Since the 7 is already a high-end luxury sedan it's not really meant to perform and I'm sure a large majority of the people that purchase 7-series aren't expecting performance, either.  It would be sweet, but I don't think sales would prove it plausible to have one.

If anyone can make a big pig move it's BMW, at least they'll have an answer for the S65 AMG.

I thought BMW vowed never to make another automatic M car?

They could at least stuff a large powerplant in there.

There are no automatic transmissions in any M cars.  Only SMGs.

That was before BMW said they'd never put another automatic.  Thats was the first ever M car.

What you think really doesnt matter...the fact is that its a manual (exactly like BMWs other 6 speed manuals), just the cluth is hydralically operated.

Your opinion doesnt matter in the context of fact.
