Spy Shots: 2009 BMW 7 Series interior snapped Click on the image to enlargeAfter seeing numerous exterior spy shots and renderings of BMW's upcoming 2009 7 Series and hearing details about the drivetrain, we finally have what appears to be a spy shot of the new 7's interior. Like the exterior, it appears to be rather subdued for a modern BMW. As we had previously heard, the joystick gear lever has moved back to its rightful position in the center console between the seats.

Spied: BMW 2009 F01 7 series interior A few days ago we brought you a nice example of the next generation 7 series from the outside. Today we give you a photo of the new interior it will be sporting.

These pictures also reaffirm a few other things we have been behind the scenes working on… we can not elaborate at... Article added: 2008-04-20 07:59:24 Article Views Rating: 471
TOP GEAR BATTLE OF THE SALOONS: BMW M3, MERCEDES C63, AUDI RS4, LEXUS IS-F It is with that in mind that you realise none of these cars looks particularly Rampton day-release, even though each one is fast enough to make your ears clap around the back of your head. So we get subtleish bonnet bulges, wheel arch flares, larger diameter wheels, bigger exhausts and deeper scoops, but no massive spoilers or visually lurid splitters to give the game away. All have put on lean muscle without falling into the caricature styling trap and ending up with a bodybuilder's waddle.Out of all... Article added: 2008-04-20 07:59:18 Article Views Rating: 167
