German Car Zone

Please Klier spare us the fan boy mode words

The S's FL is coming shortly after the new 7er and then 7's 15 min will be long gone mate

There is no side indicator in the side mirrors. There is a side indicator in the cs like emblem on the side. The CS like emblem pretty much resembles like the Z8.
There are eyebrows in the headlight cluster.
Personally, I don't like the headlights. They could have made it more aggressive, especially the top side. Furthermore, there is a dent in the eyebrow showing a 'Dynamic Xenon' text.
Seat adjustment buttons is on the side of the car in the door (not like 7 now in the middle) but good news is it contains buttons whereby the driver can adjust also the passenger seat. (similar to like mirror adjustment).
There is a chrome bar in the back (just like facelifted 7 now) and there is a chrome bar in the front underneath the grill where the fog lights are. There is also a chrome bar on the door handles.
The chrome on the hofmeister knick is very wide.
The rear doors are very wide.
When you open front door and rear door and you look at the car from the front to the back, the rear door is going past the front door.

Traffic sign recognization will be offered in the W212 E-Class. Therefore it will be offered in the FL W221. I still fail to see the DOS vs Windows...

Tycoon showed very clearly the door handles...which anyway, even if they were absent and replaced by a kind of button, would not be a decisive thing, would it?

Honestly, I'm asking for the technical goodies of the 7er since long time, but no real answer, only "DOS vs Windows" or "the S-Class will only have his image left", "the S-Class will look like a 19th Century car"...

Okay, it will have ConnectedDrive and 4 wheel-steering, an improved Infrared camera, lane-keep assyst and sign recognization. It of course will have the auto-brake and emergency-brakes of the S-Class... Improved suspensions naturally...

Hardly a revolution. Maybe they keep a big surprise left untill the last day?

Engines 750i, 740i and 730d

That's right But Eni, have you seen it car by now? If so, share please!!


Tyc: That could VERY well be a complete fake. Just like the place of the iDrive controller, or the double hump display.
I've seen interior pics of the door and it looked very weird.

Also, I am calling it: no blinkers in the mirrors, but blinkers in the CS style side-panel (whatever you want to call that)

Further things:

Buttons underneath the light button left from the steering wheel
- Lane departure warning
- Lane change warning (light in side mirror for dead angle)
- Night vision
- Active cruise control
- Head-up display

IAS (Integral Active steering) not only front wheels but also rear wheels now take part in this.
Large 10,2 inch screen
Navigation system and stuff works with a hard disc rather than a dvd to increase speed (or decrease slowliness)

Now you can stop!

I advise you strongly not to go any further.

So, all the DOS vs Windows comes from the possible replacement of the door-handles by a button? Now that is scary. I think MB should stop the S-Class immediately, it's no use now that this revolutionary feature could maybe be offered in the 7er...

Nobody wants to reveal us the real innovation of the car? C'mon...Just a hint?

EDIT: just kidding. Don't go too far, if it's secret you shouldn't say anything.

Just keep the info coming.....
Another test question :
How about the rear lights...are they close to the AutoBild chops or more CS like...

Thanks in advance

Smeekmans Lovely info... Share what you got.. Dont worry about Eni
