Some enthusiasts have been looking for real photos of the upcoming 2009 BMW 7-Serieis. Well, wait no more. Here are some photos of the new 2009 BMW 7-Series and Video of the New BMW 7-Series (750Li and 730d versions).

If you are really into cars and know about BMW’s newest releases such as the new 135i and new 3-Series you will find several design cues imbedded in the design of the new 7-Series. It is no doubt that the new BMW’s are all related and we think BMW has done this on purpose to stay in line with a tradition of automotive design. BMW was and still is known as a benchmark setter and they want to keep it that way.

In Europe, there are five models arriving on the market in November of this year: the 730d; the 740i and Li; and the 750i and Li. The latter two are powered by the same twin-turbo 4.4L V8 that debuted in the X6. In the U.S.-market 7 Series, the turbo eight is rated at 400 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, and it is the sole engine option being made available. If you want a BMW 7 Series in America, it will be a 750.

Europeans get more choices. The 730d’s 3.0L diesel I6 pumps out 245 horses with nearly 400 lb-ft of torque. Despite the grunt, it boasts a combined fuel economy number of 32.6 U.S. miles per gallon (39.2 Imperial). The 740 models are powered by the now-familiar 3.0L twin-turbo gasoline engine. In the 7, the 3.0TT’s power output is 326 horses and 332 lb-ft — enough to hustle the 740Li from 0 to 62 mph in six seconds flat. All the engines are connected to a six-speed automatic.
