It's the LWB!! You can see the a part of the additional climate control at the roof! It's only available for the LWB version!

Re: Official: The New BMW 7 Series - 07-05-2008, 12:30 PM

I'm starting to hate Bangle and his crew... on many occasions when a new BMW is released I start blasting it because I initially hate it, but after a few days of digestion, it starts to sink in and I change my mind which makes me look like an idiot .

So day 4 verdict:

I still don't like the rear... but I don't hate it and I no longer think it's a monstrosity.

LOL, Siko...

My advise: stop looking at the first official press photos. Start looking more at these real life shots:

Stunning...

Mr Bangle is enjoying a nice glass of champagne while talking to the journalist

In the birds eye view @ 14 seconds into the YT vid above, you can see how straight the grille really is
