No M7 of E65. F01 - maybe.

Btw, the media & bloggers have skewed Panke's words. Here is the direct translation from quoted AMS interview:

Are BMW going to join "the horsepower war"? E.g. rightnow BMW offer no alternative to Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG.

Panke: You are right: we have never offered M-version in the 7-series model line - but in the US there are many people wondering why not. This is the issue we'll have to deal with in the future. But no decision have been taken yet. I also think that in the future "the powerplay" will not be only about the HP numbers.
