The 2016 BMW 7 Series is about the same size as the outgoing car, yet it’s built on a new Carbon Core platform that uses a combination of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), ultra-tensile steels, and aluminum to cut up to 90 pounds there alone. The 7-Series’ doors and hood are made of aluminum, lighter weight suspension components cut 15 percent of the unsprung mass, and BMW notes that the 7-Series keeps a perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
