BMW has also brought a few older models that previously appeared in movies.<\/p>\n<p>While the main attraction is an E38 featured in the James Bond film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2020\/12\/04\/video-check-out-james-bonds-e38-bmw-750il\/\"><em>Tomorrow Never Dies<\/em><\/a>, the exhibition also includes additional 7 Series models that appeared in the film industry.

As before, BMW\u2019s range-topping sedan will be assembled exclusively in Dingolfing. It remains one of the few models the company doesn\u2019t build in China, even though the updated luxobarge debuted in Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>An ALPINA version of the new 7 Series would fit right in on the French Riviera. For now, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/03\/28\/alpina-b7-g72-details\/\">G72<\/a> remains in the rumor stage.
