Developed on the CLAR platform, which we also know from other brands located within the BMW Group, the new 7 Series brings with it some unique developments in terms of infrastructure. The model, which uses a steel, aluminum and titanium alloy composite body, seems to have left behind the carbon touches of the previous generation.
