There have been a lot of talks about BMW planning to produce the all-new 9-Series. The vehicle will be a 4-door saloon that is larger and more luxurious than the 7-Series. It is tipped to be the rival for the ultra-luxury brands like Rolls Royce and Bentley.
If the latest rumours are to be referred to, BMW has already commenced development of the 9-Series. The vehicle is tipped to get unveiled by 2017 and get released before 2020.
For us, we are taking these rumours with a big spoon of salt. This is simply because having the 9-Series will nullify the need for a 7-Series. We don’t see how it is financially healthy to have the 9-Series alongside the 7-Series.
Besides, the latest 7-Series is already more luxurious than ever. Also, the slowing Chinese economy will make it a bad idea to produce the 9-Series. We are pretty certain that BMW will pour their cash in developing more ‘i’ models in the coming years. Wouldn’t you agree?
