Complication just for the sake of doing so...something that characterized the whole car for a lot of auto writers and buyers alike.
That's true, the previous 7er felt really light and nimble, while not beeing too hard. Only the appalling finish/materials and strange ergonomics, along with its very heavy look, were real problems. The reliability, too. But nothing wrong with the way it drove/felt on the road.

But still nothing compare to the new 7-series. New 7er simple better than previous version.
