2016 BMW 7 Series Spied Testing

BMW’s next-generation 7 Series flagship has been spied in a state of undress this week, revealing its sleek new profile. 

As expected, the new 7 Series will follow the 3 Series and 5 Series into wearing a more coupe-like profile (although not to the extent of the 4 Series Gran Coupe), giving the big limo the lines needed to take on Merc's new S-Class.

It is also clear from these new photos that the face of the new 7 Series will feature the same 'end-to-end' connected design of BMW's latest sedan and X SUV offerings, with the headlights extending directly to the familiar kidney grille.
