    New BMW 7 Series Officially Unveiled With Oversize Grille

    BMW‘s worst kept secret after shots of the new (facelift) 7 Series were leaked a few weeks back but now things are official and this is what you need to know.

    The revamped flagship sedan shows off redesigned front and rear fascias but the biggest, and most controversial change has to be the size of the kidney grille up front. Compared to the model it replaces, it is 40 percent bigger and accompanies a 50mm taller front end for a more imposing stance.

    The imposing grille is flanked by redesigned headlights which are now slimmer, creating a “stylistically appealing contrast.”

    As before, BMW will offer the 7 Series with two wheelbases, with the LWB adding an extra 14 cm between the axles for even more room in the rear. South Africa will only be getting the Long Wheel Base models which will be available when the car goes on sale in the second quarter of 2019.

    Inside you will find a new steering wheel that features a modified arrangement of the multifunction controls. The infotainment system is BMW’s latest Operating System 7.0, which combines a 12.3-inch instrument cluster with a 10.25-inch touchscreen control display and the Intelligent Personal Assistant. Rear passengers can get a pair of 10-inch full-HD touchscreen displays with a Blu-ray player.

    The large Bavarian sedan needs some power behind it so what engine variants are available (in South Africa)?

    • 745Le xDrive – Inline-six (388 hp; 290 kW)
    • 750Li xDrive – 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 (523 hp; 390 kW)
    • M760Li xDrive – 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 (577 hp; 430 kW)
    • 730Ld – 3.0-litre straigh-six turbo diesel (260hp; 195 kW)

    All variants of the new BMW 7-Series come with adaptive suspension as standard, with customers getting the option of rear-wheel steering for better handling and agility.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
