I disagree, the overall apperance in my mind is far from sleek or sportier than a E65. Hold up I swear there is no such think as a E65 you must mean S65. Either way I disagree.
The 7er to me looks chubby.

I'm a little disappointed they are keeping the same shape for the rear trunk line. Maybe it's just on the mule!?

LOL The car is entirely covered with fake metal parts and going to be launched in near 2009. And still you are seriosly saying that you can see what it looks like? Sorry but:

Clearly you got no idea what he's talking about...

Im not talking about the small details. I couldnt care less about those. Im talking about the overall shape of the car, and it looks chubby and like a barge boat.

The E65 means the current gen 7er. Its the codename for this particular generation like how the new S is W221

You really do not have a clue ...

E65 is a current version of 7er. Nothing to do with MB S65.

Of course the prototype looks like a boat - since it is cladded with a heavy plastic camo: to emulate E65. While it can be clearly seen a much sleeker shape is hidden behind that camo.

Also: what is the point upsetting BMW fans with your comments - let BMW fans to discuss about new 7er. They are interested in it, while you are obviously not. You already told the whole world you do not like BMW design. There is absolutely no point to repeat yourself like a parot. So ...Thank you very much for your opinion & goodbye.

Im sorry its because the 7er never interested me hence I never read about it to know that E65 is the codename for it.

I think you BMW fans are too sensitive. You guys galavant around everywhere else on this forum putting down other vehicles, yet whenever someone says anything negative about BMW's you guys start crying.

This is a german car forum and I am a fan of ALL german vehicles. I like BMW and want a E46. I have nothing agaisnt BMW, I juust speak my opinion and my opinion on it is just as valid as anyone elses.

I like some new BMW's but overall i think they dropped the ball on several models. Am I not allowed to say that?

At the end of the day we are here to come together to critique cars and have proper discussions, which I am doing.

this car is look'n good, even w/ camo!!!

Of course you are allowed but you should use proper language. The is a difference between "i don't like this car" and "this car looks like cr@p". The first is not offensive the second is.

When you think that another member has crossed the line, just report the post or PM a moderator. That's why moderators are here for. Retaliation is not the right answer believe me.

Thanks.

It's amazing that some individuals quote the artificial comments from web forums or messageboards such as "Autospies" In when a prototype is scooped for the first time they are quick to announce that the styling which is underneath heavy disguise will be ugly , wrong and an insult of BMW tradition - we kicked Tradition into touch long ago with the E65 and it started a revolution which in the end game gave victory - The No1 premium luxury car manufacturer from the grasp of Mercedes-Benz.

A Title achieved by manufacturing and designing cars that people want to buy . I seen a pre-facelift E65 from 2001 the other day and it still looks as current and modern even though the F01 has hit the streets of Munich.
In Final evaluation of selected Design for a new model BMW's computer artist dept model the car in animation and have it moving to simulate what it's will be like when moving.

From the E65 7er to the E70 X5 the circle is complete, Now the stage is set beginning with the F01 to start a new era for BMW .
This car will again polarize opinion but thats how we operate by defying conventional approaches and polarizing opinions.
