It's a lot more pleasing to my eyes than the current 7er.

There'll be far too many toys in it though.

I love the interior, one of the best I've seen from BMW. Looks clean and uncluttered. Also looks as though BMW has returned back to having the central console angled towards the driver.

First rule of being a bloke, you can never have too many gadgets

I like it, probably never own one but i can dream.

The current 7 series sold more units in its first year of production, than the E38 did in its entire life of production! I bet this beats that record, looks great!

Not a big fan of that one to be honest but it will probably grown on me

Id rather have an e38 (B12 please) i think its a far prettier car.

What we all wnat is for BMW to pull its finger out and get the CLS into production!!!!

Post Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:06 pm

That is awesome. Not quite sure what I'd do with one apart from polish it - but that is AWESOME.

Post Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:21 pm

It (and the current 7) just seem to bulbous (sp) i know they are big cars but that doesnt mean they have to look it (if that makes sense) The E38 is a very sleek car i think, not too tall or chubby...

On a similar theme i think the current XJ has gone the same way...just looks tubby when compared to a X300 or XJ40 (which were the same floor pan IIRC)

Post Fri Jul 04, 2008 1:46 pm

Wow! That looks great!

Post Fri Jul 04, 2008 2:03 pm

That's really dull. Doesn't have the sleekness of the E38 or the F*CK OFF!! presence of the E65, just another generic BMW design. The CS concept car is what it SHOULD look like. that's just nothingy, wouldn't cross the road to look at it.

Post Fri Jul 04, 2008 2:18 pm

If i was in the market for such a car i wouldn't be buying BMW atm...i think i'd have to drink from the poison chalace and get Merc CLS.

Post Fri Jul 04, 2008 5:00 pm

ew, they just look plain ugly to me (the CLS that is)

Post Sat Jul 05, 2008 8:57 am

e38 was definatly the best 7 ever!

Post Sat Jul 05, 2008 9:05 am

that thing is scome.

Post Sat Jul 05, 2008 3:35 pm

Every body knows the true executive chariot amongst all incarnations of the 7 series is the E38 750IL !

Sadly those days are gone; you couldn't build the old 7 anymore. It would be too small for starters , and crash regs mean A/B/C pillars are very thick and doors taller for better side impact protection. Then there is the tech, which is unbelievable these days....if you compare it to an S Class or A8, it would be a tie between this and the Audi for me. Its a shame big execs don't look as good as they did in the E38s day though.

Agree about the CS, but I am sure this will look better in person. IMO like most modern BMs, in 'poverty' spec (Se not Sport, tiny wheels, tepid colour) it looks weak. You need the Sport, dark colour to hide the dodgy detailing, and sort the wheels... If you can get the E65 to look alright (miracle) I am sure this one can be helped. At least the Bangle influence is dying down...

Official Release : Way better than the outgoing car IMO?

Post Tue Jul 08, 2008 1:26 am

i prefer the e38, much sharper image, more like an expensive suit, where as the new ones look designed for the american market

Post Tue Jul 08, 2008 6:12 pm

They need to stop messing about and make a M8!!!

Post Tue Jul 08, 2008 10:03 pm

not keen on that at all looks like it has 2 over-sized nostrils and clumsy... like the interior...... but cant say that i would turn one down though

Post Wed Jul 09, 2008 2:50 pm

1st time I saw the rear end I thought Lexus

Post Wed Jul 09, 2008 2:55 pm

Always wanted to own a 7 series....as well as an Motorsport cab, Alpina 2.7....M635sci......

Post Wed Jul 09, 2008 5:38 pm

Are those dials dials or is it a screen ?

Hmm, that looks better. I had a load of info mailed from BMW Press Club and it's just techical overkill and BMW have a habit of releasing press pics of new cars in some dull grey. The silver gives it an edge.

Post Fri Jul 11, 2008 4:04 pm

Its all very Lexus

Post Sat Jul 12, 2008 7:40 pm

I like it tbh, it the tail lamps reminds me a bit of the E32 who is one of the best 7 series ever made!

Post Sat Jul 12, 2008 9:14 pm

That looks really nice, I dont think its a million miles off the current 7 in terms of looks !

Post Mon Jul 14, 2008 4:31 pm

Ugly in my opinion!!

Post Mon Jul 14, 2008 6:38 pm

on the other side of the design fence theres the new concept M1

Post Tue Jul 15, 2008 8:55 pm

Poo poo poo poo poo poo AGAIN!! Same rant different car. Any bulbously ugly big exec car can be made to look tough with big rims and dropped susp. Don't make it pretty though, just hard. Now the 750iL, proper gentlemans car lol

Post Wed Jul 16, 2008 7:56 pm

I must say, I LIKE IT !

front end much better than pre and post f/lift E65 ditto for the rear end treatment.

has a "family" look about it when compared to the revised 3/4/5 something its lacked til now IMHO.

Post Fri Jul 18, 2008 4:28 pm

looks good

lights on the front look like they have been lifted straight of the current 7
