2009 BMW 7 Series spotted…again
2008-05-15 17:31:00
Getting close my dear readers, getting close. The 2009 BMW 7 Series starts revealing itself more and more every day. These recent photos seem to be similar to the ones we have posted in the past few weeks, pretty much the same camo scheme.  The general consensus is that the 7 spotted in the photos is actually the F02 version. The test mule seems to keep the same sleek and slim profile that we have seen before and honestly, I really hope that the final product will be along this line. One thing that I have noticed in these photos is the potential of having a driver-oriented dashboard again. I personally loved the dashboard I had in my E46 3-Series, the driver-oriented dashboard made more things more comfortable for the driver.  I'm wondering what the test driver was trying to cover in these photos Also, if you look closer, you will see how they covered up the new i-Drive as well.

Spec Comparison: Mini Cooper S & BMW 135i
