2010 BMW 7 Series updates: 740d, M-Sports & X-Drive

BMW has added a new diesel to the 7 Series Range for 2010 - the BMW 740d BMW has confirmed the M Sports Package will be available for the first time on the BMW 7 Series, and will be an option across the entire range. So you can now have the front and rear aprons; carbon black paintwork; 19″ M wheels; BMW Dynamic Drive; aluminium trim; M Gear Lever etc., etc. The latest BMW 7 Series is a handsome car once more, and these M-Sport options do seem to add a certain aggression to its stance – not a bad thing.

New Opel/Vauxhall Astra saloon revealed – but not for the UK
