Early images of 2009 BMW 7-Series leaked
Images of the redesigned 2009 BMW 7-Series have hit the web before its upcoming official launch. The new model looks strikingly better than the outgoing one.
Engines will include a 326 hp turbo inline-6 and a 400 hp turbo V8.
Available in two wheelbase lengths, the golden one is the longer version, and the black one is standard -length.
The suspension now consists of a double-wishbone front and multilink rear setup, and offers active damper settings such as comfort, normal, sports and sports-plus.
Interesting new features include upgraded active steering, now extended to all four wheels, depending on speed. Other features include night-vision, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, updated iDrive computer, rear screens and in-car internet.
The overall design is based on the CS Concept shown last year, which most thought would become a “four-door” coupe.
