It’s the 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid
We can still remember the reaction we had when the seventh-generation BMW 7-Series revealed itself in mid-2022. Internally known as the G70, to say we gasped was an understatement given the understated elegance the previous two models had. It

“Lagi daw nilang ginagawa at ngayon lang sila nahuli”
It's always better to leave early for the airport these days-you never know how bad traffic will be on the way, and what sort of delays you'll encounter checking in for your flight then going through immigration and security.
Armored from the inside out while it’s on the production line
BMW hasn't revealed how much the new armored i7 and 7-Series weigh, but tellingly, both cars' 0-100kph times are a lot slower. Counterintuitive for a getaway car, or an unshakable belief in its ability to withstand massive blasts?One

It's got a V12 amount of power too
To entirely misquote Mission Impossible: Fallout, the electric BMW 7 Series appears to be Halloween; a bunch of electric horsepower in a mask playing trick or treat. And if you've yet to see that film, no matter - you can pop

What's your favorite and why is it the E38?
What is it?The original Big BMW sedan. Launched in 1977, this car took over from the 'New Six' era of Bimmers, based around a timeless design by Paul Bracq. Evidence of BMW's 'shark nose' era on display here. BMW said

They're more than just BMW tuners
In a nutshell, it's the car person's car company, alongside the likes of Ruf and Dallara. Down to its singular focus, stellar talents and severely limited build numbers, Alpina has become something of a byword for the chosen chariots of
Step inside the German car brand’s new electric flagship
About a month ago, before we were allowed to talk about it, BMW said if we signed lots of expensive-looking paperwork and promised not to leak it all over Twitter, Top Gear could have a look at a new i7 in

BMW is on a roll by launching the redesigned 7-Series just days after the new X7
Just a few days have passed since BMW pulled the covers off the face-lifted X7. Not content with one debut this month, the boys from Bavaria have now launched their all-new flagship sedan, the seventh-generation 7-Series. BMW says
Its large nostrils are now also called a “hallmark BMW design feature”

Also, meet the country's first PHEV

Watch in style
Those who like to drive-in, er, in style should get themselves a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Spec'd with the individual seat configuration in the rear, the two seats are separated by a drinks cabinet with Rolls-Royce whisky glasses and decanter,
One way to modify an executive sedan without going overboard
With its-ahem-large grille, the BMW 7-Series is no longer the understated limo it once was. All the more reason, then, for the world's tuners to start picking them up and slapping on some aftermarket bits, surely?Normally, that
