Bw, I really really really thin that the 7er is sooooo ugly! I just can't see how someof you might find this car atractive. The huge kidneys in the front are horrible...

Your roots are still in the Father S-Class arn`t thay...



Anyway looks like the 7er has tons of body-roll in those pics!!
It might have more roll than the others, which is not good.

Personally I was very pleased and releaved when the F01 was presented since this is a car that finally I could say is beautiful.
The preFL E65, while very imposing and avantgarde, was overblown and lost the E38's elegance (which I still think is one of BMW's most successful designs)
The FL E65 was better. Acceptable to my taste, and the F01 is even closer to be called beautiful.
It is still not perfect. I would have liked a wider shallower grill (E38), with more muscular and sculptured front bumper. But with each day, I'm more than pleased with what the F01 turned out to be.

Now you got me to remember the CS Concept, which was PERFECT !!!
Dam* BMW for not making it
