The rear details are infinetely better executed than most of the current bimmers and it was time cause it was clearly one of the weakest points of the current BMW design.

Just a reminder ... Huckfeldt's first F01 impressions:



We can expect revised ones to be published soon. Expect slight yet remarkable revisions.



PS: now you can see the feature I promised to be copy-pasted from CS ... It's a Hofmeister's kink "echo" printed into C-pillar metal, of course.

the kidney grills are looking way too big for my liking. I just hope its not as bad once the camo comes off.

I like this angles. Now all I need is Lehman to do his magic and make the camo disappear so that we can see the creases following the shoulder line to the bonnet and the character line as well.

It's either very well disguised, or very disappointing to me.
I was hoping for a whole lot more CS, but I guess we'll see soon enough.

The car is shown here as SWB in Cashmere Silver metallic.

Damn I was kind of hoping you would not see it until the launch in July.
In which everything has gone according to schedule. Some people got wise to us yesterday which is why we have employed some covert techniques in this operation. Such as having a BMW Development 7er rendevouz with us on the coasts of Cape Town so all they can photograph is a disguised model.
Ingenius dont you think? Surprisingly where we have been with this car we have avoided the camera and the amateur perhaps they want to respect BMW's vision or maybe we are just too sneaky.

Though I am surprised we could get our shots in Times Square and 5th ave New York without gathering too much attention to us. Also in Australia were we had helicopters chasing the car across two landmark bridges especially at sunset for that senusual feeling of warmth and emotion. So far footage is nothing short of impressive , lots of ariel shots , road shots , landscapes , environment , and plenty of blue skies because of the status of "Efficient Dynamics" which is a headliner in the marketing for the F01 in the luxury class.
it will also be visually emotional because this is the big one - before CS this is the flagship and we treat our flagships well.

Even here in South Africa we have avoided the glare , even though we probably might have pissed off some photographers with the M3 Cabrio In-Joke titled the Search.

After we wrap up in South Africa it's Dubai and then Hong Kong, China, But I have over stuff to evaluate , give approval and set the next task on the long riding road to wrap up before beginning the Z4 in mid summer which will appear in December 2008. Although I have some ideas from Australia and South Africa .

Oh, there is quite a lot CS features also present on the F01/ F02 (not the broken shoulder line & flat kidneys though, but eg. double Hofmeister kink, side turn signal etc).

Just wait till the camo is gone, and all details are revealed. Yet the car has different proportions than CS which is wider & much lower. But still S-class & A8 look chubby in comparison to F01.



Important: mind that boot lid still wears a plastic camo (!!!) - hiding the real shape & lines at the back.

Well .. this is it ... I guess am disappointed. After seeing all the previous BMW exciting designs, I think this is the laziest most boring one. Compared to the E65/66 yes it is an improvement but not the kind of improvement I'd expect from BMW. Its something that Audi would do. Thanks god the X6 didn't turn out this way. Now I have a clear idea about my decision.

EnI: unless the whole body is a camo, I don't think few tapes here and there would change my mind over this car. It is nice and that's it. Nothing more can be said about this car. Hell MB did a better job with the new S Class. Although those arches were heavily criticized but at least they had the guts to pull the trigger and release the car. The new kink in C-Pillar ? Bigger kidney ? Thats it ? what else can we say is special about this car ? even the roofline/ doors are almost identical to the current car. Am fairly disappointed. I don't think anyone liked the bangle era would like this one also. Plus, people trading their current 7ers to the new one is not that tempting.

Regards
