That\u2019s unclear right now.Prices for the regular 7 Series start from \u00a361,300 for the 725d and stretch right up to \u00a3132,560 for the long M760Li xDrive V12.We\u2019ll find out for sure when the car is shown off in the metal later this year."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"BMW 7 Series Edition 40 Jahre coming Q4 2017","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/bmw-7-series-edition-40-jahre\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
