BMW has unveiled the new - Seven - with the same huge nostrils and an updated interior.

The flagship will get a new multimedia screen and Panoramic iDrive a huge display that stretches across the entire windshield from edge to edge. This interface already made its debut on the iX3, and now it has made its way to the Seven.



No major changes under the hood: the engines will remain the same, but they will be upgraded to meet the "Euro-7" standards, and the electric version will gain range thanks to new batteries. Later, they promise to also show a "charged" version from Alpina.



The new model will be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show in April. The starting price is expected to be from $100-105 thousand (~8 million rubles) for the base version.

It does look like they have finally dropped the stupid knob-that-does-it-all for iDrive in favor of a touchscreen arrangement. I am curious how that works out but I cannot imagine it isn't an improvement in the UI.

Everybody is announcing their new models in Beijing these days, it seems. Clearly that's where the real market is.

I personally much prefer the iDrive knob over just a touchscreen - it lets me navigate the screen without having to precicely press something with my finger. I do agree that having a touchscreen is necessary, but BMWs had both for several years and IMO that was perfect.
