Re: Official: The New BMW 7 Series

no, a high beltline and small greenhouse is more reminescent of a coupé, period.

Re: Official: The New BMW 7 Series

Looks better than the E65 and the tail lights are pleasing to look at. The back row looks impressively comfortable and I love the built in handle in the wood panel on the door. Overall shape is gorgeous as well.

On the down side the front end doesn't look at new as the rear and neither does it look as gracious, it's a bit weak in character and flair compared with cars like the X6. The same applies to the center console in the interior which is a tad to similar to the the rest of the line up. So far the car is alright but I expected it to be more striking. It's not an ugly car but neither is it a full home run, and that's mostly because of the front end.

Re: Official: The New BMW 7 Series

I have to say the design of the lower half of the front bumper is a surprise and I am still getting used to it, the shape of the head lights are a lot softer than expected and those tail lights aren't doing it for me either, they are just too big. However I like how the side character line going into the side of the tail lights.

The rest of the car looks pretty sexy.

What, I can't have an opinion now?

Why are you taking this as negative criticism ...I am being analytical.

Guys, stay calm!!!

We're probably one of the 1st people in the whole world to see a new 7er and it's only a 3rd page and you're starting with it.

Enough please and stay on topic!
