Another thing I have noticed is the new 7-series doesn't have MB style pre-safe system, I wonder why.

Some of the BMW fanboys really need to grow a back bone. I still maintain my intial thoughts of the 7er (I am pleased with it), but anyone else think that this is rather what the E65 face lift should have looked like? Im absolutely loving the PS done by Andy Valencia (thanks for the new wallpaper buddy ). The F01 will definitely look much better in darker colour's IMO and perhaps the same can be said for a interior with a good contrast.I was pretty disturbed to see blue lights on the instrument cluster instead of the conventional orange but Im guessing (or rather HOPING) that the instrument cluster will allow those settings to be adjusted. I mentioned this from the first pic of the first FEP that surfaced, the kidneys are distastefully humoungus and just dont flow well with the front of the car. Im still going to reserve my final opinion for a "IRL" viewing but except for the front bumper/kidneys, I think its A-okay. They're doing the same thing Sony did with the PS3. They're just launching the car for now. All the good stuff will only arrive after 2-3 years.

![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Official: The New BMW 7 Series For me personally, the low point of the new 7 series is definitely the engine compartment. The engine looks fine, dont get me wrong. Look at those two cheap metal trusses that connects the suspension strut towers to the front member. Absolutely awful!!!!!!! They're there to provide strength to the front crash structure. Mercedes would never do that. They would find a more elegant solution. |
