Need to start with the 760's V12TT, make it 600+HP!!

I honestly don't see why not. In the past there was a beautiful purity to the "M" brand where they didn't care about volume and only cared to build the best luxury sport vehicles on the planet. With their complete change of philosophy to volume which now includes 2 SUVs there is no reason why a M7 should not be offered.

I actually adore the Alpina B7, they are not seen as a tuner but a manufacturer and BMW backs them with their warranty.

I don't know, the ABC on the S63 is flat out amazing, I don't think BMW can make their air suspension to match the ABC.

The air suspension on the X5/6 M is not that great.

You talking about the 3-Series Sport Line?

So much variations now, if I don't look at each one closely, is confusing

They need two M7 to hang with AMG

M7-8............S63
M7-12..........S65

Yes I think their direction is changing, now they are going to M everything like what AMG does.

I am not saying the B7 is a tuner job. I just meant it looks and feels like a tuner job. It doesn't look classy and elegant like an OEM performance model. It looks like a kid got dad's ride and pimped it at the local speed shop, instead of an executive driving a flagship performance sedan.

Interesting idea...the M7 would surely have the V-8 TT producing the 550/560hp it has now. So what would the M7 -12 offer? 650hp?

If they just simply stuff the M5 engine in the M7, IMO, is not going to cut it. A B7 is making that much. That's why it should have a V12TT, they have it, just tune the 760 motor for more power.

I have always wondered why they never brought it to market earlier. I hope they pull it off

//M officially stands for money now. good for them.

They ruined the M brand after the E46 and has subsequently lost me as a loyal customer. No more BMW's for me after I retire my E46.

nothing to get excited about at all, even the M5 is not the drivers' car they used to be , if I want a fun to drive car, I get a REAL sports car , not an oversized land sports boat

I agree about the excitement dept.

although an S63/65 is a pretty good boat

DO they have X3M???

I would admit from a prestige point of view, the S63/65 are cool to have as status symbols, I won't mind one if I decide I have lots of extra cash to burn
