I've seen the car in white and the new grey colour, darker colours suit the bimmer better.

Oh, and the Maserati from the same angle isnt better than the 7er.



Sorry, not even that picture helps. The nose is absolutely horrible.

Re: Autozeitung test : BMW 750i vs Maserati Quattroporte S

I agree the nose of the 7 doesn't look good in a way that will just please your eye straight away, where the best way to accomplish that is to make it agressive with nice a wide grille and agressive headlights, but I really think that that as this is THE flagship BMW, some of the BMW elements are overstated and emphasised, most apparent being that grille - it is not only wide, but it is also tall, and i don't think any other models will have a grille as overstated as this, so i think it's intentional. And surely i'm sure that in real life the whole car will look better than pics, in pics, especially in light colours the front even looks cheap.

^ Actually if the grill was straight and the bonnet lines flowed to the to of the grill,it wouldnt be that bad

Haha...not necesseraly man... A beautiful front doesn't have to have four rings in the grille. It can look like this as well

Only usually

But on the serious side, I am deeply falling in love with the Z4

Defiantly rather have this than the TT-s

I've seen the car in IRL and do not need photos to appreciate the car. I look at the whole and then its a magnificent looking car. Profile, rear and interior and 3/4 angle is at least better looking than the A8. And even if the front isnt the best part it sure gives the car road precence. And yes the Maserati isnt exactly beautiful either from the exact same angle.

I know the 7-Series is the better car for everyday and all that practical jazz, but I want the Maser.
