The 2020 BMW 7-Series and its massive maw will cost $87,445, including a $995 destination fee, to start when it arrives at dealerships later this year. The revamped full-size luxury sedan will do its best to take on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which outsold the 7-Series by a wide margin last year: 14,978 to 8,271. The $87,445 figure is for the base 740i model. Power comes from a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 that makes 335 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque, all of which flows to the rear wheels. Selecting the 740i xDrive model unlocks all-wheel drive, which costs $90,445. Even in its...

It was in 1977 that BMW’s first 7-Series was launched. To celebrate the car’s 40th anniversary this year, BMW has introduced the 7-Series Edition 40 Jahre based on the current, sixth-generation model. Prior to the launch of the first 7-Series, known as the E23 to all the fans, BMW was known for small, sporty sedans and coupes. However, by the 1970s, BMW was starting to be recognized in luxury circles, and with Mercedes-Benz launching the first S-Class early that decade, BMW needed a response. That response came in the form of the Paul Bracq-designed 7-Series which featured new...

BMW’s flagship sedan, the 7-Series, has never received the M performance treatment. That’s OK, though—Alpina is here to help. In fact, the small BMW-exclusive tuner company does such a good job of building what is, in effect, an M7 that we doubt BMW could top it. Alpina is a...
