BMW 7 Series G11/G12 as the basis for the GT Spirit model
The collector’s piece owned by Modelly member “neophyte1410” is based on the
BMW M760Li xDrive (G12), the long-wheelbase version of the seventh-generation 7 Series. This generation is known as
G11/G12 and was built from
2015 to 2022; G11 refers to the 7 Series with the standard wheelbase, while G12 is the version stretched by 140 millimeters (5.5 inches). The predecessor of the
BMW M760Li xDrive (G12) was the BMW 7 Series from the F01/F02 series, whose long-wheelbase version also offered extra room in the rear. The
BMW M760Li xDrive (G12) sat at the top of the range from 2016 onward and combined the long wheelbase with a V12 engine and xDrive all-wheel drive. The body design of the G11/G12 series was led by
Nader Faghihzadeh, who was responsible at BMW for designing this 7 Series generation, among other projects. The technical development was handled within the BMW Group, with lightweight construction, driver assistance, and connectivity being some of the key focus areas. The model name “THE 7” on the front license plate of the miniature car refers to BMW’s name for the 7 Series.
