2013 BMW 750Li

BMW has had its Vatican II moment, wherein the holy leaders dramatically updated the religion�s philosophy and principles to better fit the modern era. Perhaps somewhat less significant than altering the entire Catholic faith, the changes over the past decade at BMW�s M brand�still aptly categorized as a religion for many�have been fundamental. An M7, long a heretical suggestion at BMW and M GmbH, is under consideration for the next-gen 7-series.

In the past, BMW executives spurned the notion of a hard-core, high-revving M version of the 7-series. Alternatives such as the Alpina B7 and a 1980s South Africa�only 745i were authorized and even endorsed, but the real artifact has never been sold. Both BMW USA�s CEO Ludwig Willisch and Matt Russell, the American M division�s product planner, have told us that they want to see it happen for the next-gen 7, which is set to arrive in about three years.

Russell explains that in the past, the M philosophy of high-revving, relatively small-displacement engines wouldn�t have worked for the 7. But with modern technology, from M�s awe-inspiring twin-turbo V-8 to active suspension systems, BMW and M can build an M7 that is true to both the sporting promise of the M brand while providing the luxury needed for BMW�s top-of-the-line sedan.
