The BMW F01 is an automobile platform expected to go into production in late 2008 as a replacement for the current 7 Series (BMW E65/E66) platform. The long wheelbase, codenamed BMW F02, will be longer by 14 cm than BMW F01. It will be also equipped with a more intuitive iDrive system.
[edit] Platform Sharing
The F01 platform will reportedly also be shared with a smaller Rolls-Royce slotting in below the ultra-luxury Phantom, currently codenamed the Rolls-Royce NGS (Next Generation Saloon). This $250,000 car would be assembled in Germany along side the 7 Series and would share that car's future V12 engine.
