It will be bad for some BMW designers if the new A8 is more radical and soportier than the 7er.

And if it has better quallity materials...

please tine,don't get carried away

This is the S-Class,a world beating in the luxury segment.

Lol this is already the case with current 7er vs A8.

This is what Ascariss posted with his photoshop:

"original was a 3 series, I am not sure how the [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]headlights[/color][/color] will look 100%, I tihnk I got them close except maybe the side near the fender, might not be as curvy. The rear is up in the air probably off, and I suspect you can see more of the rear taillight. The side is is probably correct except the side metallic thing, it will look different. Front grill, uhm it is straight off copy from the spy picture below it so near the real thing. The [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]real [COLOR=blue! important]car[/color][/color][/color] will look a lot better in press photos since that is what the marketing and media branch want to achieve, enjoy. Sorry for the watermarks"


Uuuhmm....The real car will look better because the real car is not based on a 3-series, and the BMW designers did know what they were doing, while he was not....

Exactly. The S-class is the class benchmark, no question about it. It MAY be beaten, but it won't be shamed. But I'm confident the FL will keep it with or ahead of the pack.

Looks like a lavish X5 interior in the making. Not at all bespoke like the current 7.

^Yeah i was gonna point that out,X5/X6 interior for sure.Man my hopes are getting down bit by bit since scott's 97.5% announcement

I don't see anything else then a big slash of garbage camo over an interior who will have a screen, an armrest, an airvent grille, a gearlever and a pair of nice seats.

Maybe you have Superman's laser-eyes, or some sort of X-Ray glasses, but what I see here looks like nothing at all in poor human my eyes.

Only things I can judge is that the airvent grill and buttons around it don't look particularly upscale, neither do the seatbelt-lock, and that the seats are very sporty for a car of this category.

btw, i don't know if anyone has touched this topic yet, but i have heard several months ago that bmw is interested(and have already built a prototype) in an ethernet wired electronic system - how far are they with its testing, could we possible see this in the new 7 ? [this is what i see as a jump from dos to windows)

Well i guess he meant that it looks a lot like that int shot we had a while back showing strong resemblance to X5/6 interior,at least that's what i think
