Do you really believe that? ...I don't know if that is the case or not.

Still, I am amazed at just how ordinary the interior looks. They even threw in nasty little wood pieces ...just to keep the Americans happy I guess

wood = luxury apparently.

The new Audi will, once again, show everyone how its done.
The new Audi - especially the interior - will look like all Audis interior. I don't think that there will be sth. new then.
Problem is, that those discussions become to much sentimental - design is a factor of personal taste - you like or you don't like it. And hey, I love the 7-series interior. Modern and with design elements of the old E38 ones. Great!!! But that's my personal sense - so please no discussion about this!!!

,i meant RR is even more differentiated by having an outstanding concept like interior that any other car just don't get it and instead it gets a toned down version of the concept,so RR is treated differently

I don't find it boring - but I think everyone knows your point of view, my point of view and the point of view of every member now. Every additional discussion would come to the same success again - and then we discuss again - with a different theme, but the result, well probably the same then before. I miss the real effectiveness of this…

Oh wow. So this is it?

Honestly, I'm not too enthuastic about the entirety of this design. That being said, I find very little about the design which offends me.

My biggest complaint of the design would have to b e the rear tail lamps, which as far as I'm concerned, are not only two sizes too big but a poorly fitted design for the rear-end of the vehicle. It gives the vehicle a very bulky and exaggerated rear-end...which is of course common in many of today's styles. That particular aspect of the vehicle I am less than pleased with, but am not offended per se.

Overall, I must admit that I find myself wanting (and expecting) more than what has been presented here (not that we hadn't already seen a gazillion spy pictures prior, I know). I find the majority of the design to be unimaginative, uninspiring and above all else, rather bloated.

^^ Though, I actually find this to be the case with most vehicles on sale today - so I hope that no one shrieks a "BMW Hater" towards me for this one.

Nevertheless, I'll wait until I see it in the flesh for final judgement.

I love the interior - the exterior I am EXTREMELY disappointed with. Where is the character, the avantgarde edginess and sense of gravitas that BMW can create? That rear is a complete let down for me, it look like a melting Honda Civic / C-Class / Korean combination :-(

The front is bland..

OK ...

I am sorry I was blunt with you but isn't this kind of discussion what this whole forum is about?

if people don't want to participate ...they don't have to.

Well, you're right… … a forum is about discussing things… …have to set up the white flag.
