Video: 2009 BMW 7-series

July 7th 2008 11:15
2009 BMW 750iL


German car maker BMW has released a promotional clip of the all new 5th generation 7-series saloon featuring the 730d and 750iL variants through a series static shots and the car in motion.

The video starts off with a driver taking the 730d diesel out for a spin and making sure that he doesn't close the door properly to show off what appears to be a self-closing feature for the doors.





The new CS concept inspired 7-series appears to handle the twisties with aplomb, looking rock steady with minimal body roll as it attacks the mountain passes with minimal fuss. This is then followed by a similar run in a long wheelbase version of the 750i boasting a 4.4-litre, twin-turbocharged V8. Again, the flagship saloon looks very composed for such a large and heavy car.

You will also get to see the airiness of the sizable interior and a demonstration of the headlight technology in the new Beemer. Read more about the 2009 BMW 7-series here.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model


The BMW GINA Light Visionary Model is one of the most revolutionary design study to emerge from the automotive industry in a long time.

Although it is unlikely to head into production for many years yet, the concept still offers BMW designers - and the automotive industry as a whole - an insight to the innovative potential that reaches far beyond the appearance of future cars and takes into account not only materials and structures but also functions and manufacturing processes.





"Does a car roof really have to rest on pillars and be bordered by windows? Do all functions have to be visible at all times, even when they are not needed? How many personalization options does my car offer? Are there any possible alternatives to the rigid body shell made of steel or plastic?"

These were the questions BMW designers asked themselves when approaching the various design elements of the BMW GINA. As you can see from this video, every single one of these questions were resolutely answered.
