BMW's recent decision to develop a new range-topping model bigger than the 7 Series might have shocked some who thought the car's flagship status was sacrosanct, but the idea of an ultra-luxurious sedan isn't entirely new in Munich. In the late 1980s, BMW secretly built an experimental super 7 that was powered by a massive V.
The beginning of the story dates back to 1987, when Munich decided to develop a V16-drive unit, which they named codenamed Goldfisch (goldfish). The engine was based on the already established V-shaped twelve-cylinder and had 6,6 liters of working volume, which is identical in volume to the V12 in the models BMW M760i in Rolls.
