BMW Celebrates 100 Years With the Introduction of Two All-New 7 Series Models

Kicking BMW's 100-year anniversary, two exciting new 7 Series models are set to make their North American debut towards the end of March at the 2016 New York International Auto Show.

The Alpina B7 xDrive is powered by a lively 4.4-liter eight-cylinder engine that delivers an intimidating 600 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. It accelerates from zero to 60 in 3.6 seconds, and delivers precise handling thanks to advanced suspension and chassis technology with ALPINA calibration. It rolls into U.S. dealerships this September.

The all-new M760i xDrive delivers the ultimate blend of performance, efficiency and comfort. Its 12-cylinder engine creates 600 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, accelerating the full-size luxury sedan from zero to 60 mph in under four seconds. It features all the advanced driver assistive technologies for which 7 Series models are known, like Active Driving Assistance Plus, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation, and Traffic Jam Assistant. It is scheduled to go on sale in the beginning of 2017.

Both models will be shown for the first time in the United States at the 2016 New York International Auto Show on March 23 in Manhattan.
