Not true -- in the early 80s, BMW produced an M version of the E23 7 Series. The vehicle shared its engine with the E28 M5 and E24 M6 of the same era.
Very few were produced, and even less remain today.

In all likelihood this is the new 7er V12 version.
Official presentation probably in Geneva

Just like they said there would never be a X5 M: http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090105.014/bmw-x6-m-teaser-video

I am very surprised BMW hasn't built an M7 in the past 3-5 years. With the S63, S65, S8, XJR around, why let other companies enjoy the sales opportunities?

Eddicoaster:
Maybe BMW was not satisfied with the dynamics of the previous generation 7-Series to warrant an M7?

dual pipes? unlikely to be an M7 then, all M models since... what, the Z3? e39 M5? have had quads...

The 335i coupe and sedan, the 650i and the 750i all have "double tailpipes" now.

First off the car has 4 pipes n its no badges on it n the bmw signs r covered up. K may be a 760 cause m cars have circular tail pipes but only time will tell what bmw rolls out n it looks like a long wheel base they would never build a long m it be the short wheel base but its hard to tell for me if its short or long but like i said will see..........

I would say it´s a 760i prototype with the twinturbo v12 engine. would match very good with the tailpipes because the 6 zylinders have 2 round ones, the V8 has 2 rectangle ones and the v12 4 rectangle ones. the look comes close to the old E32 750i V12 with its 2 square shaped ones.

So, no one here can guess the obvious? It's not a V12... BMW will no longer use them. It's not an M7.
It's the new Alpina B7. There have been teaser sketches and all.

why wouldnt it be a twin turbo v12?? there have been no hints at anything but; and it's not the alpina because we've already seen pics of it and it has round quad tailpipes

that`s right, there will be no M7 because M division makes more or like NA high-revving engines and they are not working on a very comfortable cars such as 7-series!
After 760i with V12 and 540hp there won`t be any M7!!! at all!!!
This might be a 760i mule or maybe some tuning package, also it is not like for this to have something with Alpina. Alpina is waiting!

you must have missed that they have confirmed the X6 M and that reithofer himself said that my 2015 ALL bmw's will be turboed

this isn´t a B7, there where spyshots from the Alpina Version and they looked very different, especially the exhaust
I still say it´s a 760i. bmw itsself confirmed the upcoming of this model again and also confirmed a twinturbo v12.

There is nothing saying M on the car in the picture and BMW has said that they are not gonna come with a 760 v12 cause the 750 twinturbo v8 is as fast and powerful as the old v12 but with lower emissions. I really dont think BMW would come with a M7, I wouldnt mind if they did but just dont think they will. It doesnt even have to be anything new just a bloke with a 7series with new wheels.
