The 2009 BMW 7-Series will make it world debut in October at the Paris Motor Show, but the first details will be released in July. The car will go on sale in very late October early November.
The Short Wheel Base (SWB) F01 is about 10cm (4 inches) longer than the current car (E65), and has a longer wheelbase (14cm = approx. 5.5 inches). So, F01 is only a tad shorter than the current E66 (Long wheel base).
There will be a variety of engines offered including the N74 which is the engine code for the newest Twin Turbo V12. Some information also indicates that a naturally aspirated direct inject 4.4l V8 will be offered. As we had discussed before Hybrids will also be available but not at the initial launch. The ZF 8 speed will of course be the mode of gear selection.
The next generation xenon adaptive lights with CELIS LED coronas (angel eyes) are brighter in the latest spy shots in order to meet some countries day time running light requirements.
The auto express spies have uncovered the new BMW 7 Series.
Despite the heavy amount of camouflage it is clear to see the styling hints taken from the recent CS concept with what looks like the return of shark-esque front ends and kidney grills.
The new car is large than the current one and is due for launch at Septembers Paris motor show.

BMW will unveil the 2009 7-Series this autumn at the Paris Motor Show. With design inspired by the CS Concept unveiled in 2007 at the Shanghai Auto Show, the 2009 7-Series will be smaller than the current generation, but still a full-S-Class competitor.
The South Yarra car’s sharply angled headlights and flush, extended double-kidney grille are covered in the images we were able to capture. However, having seen the car undisguised we can vouch they are virtually a productionised version of the CS showcar’s ’shark-like’ front end.
The new 7’s bonnet features a flat top and sharp shoulder ’crease’ that make the guards looked even more ’pumped’ than the current 5 Series. The lines and aggressive chamfer also cleverly disguise the pedestrian friendly height of the front-end.
The tail lamps are sculptured tight to the curves of the rear corner panels and feature tightly grouped mini LEDs in their main ’working’ zones. They also boast a group of ogee-shaped inner lamps that look like they are almost an interpretation of shark gills — quite unique, in keeping with the CS theme, and spectacular when lit.
The all new 7-series will be unveiled next year at the Paris Motor Show. The spy photographers already caught the new comer that is said to signal a new chapter in BM design testing in Germany.
