Today is definitely the BMW 7 Series day and we're going to continue the coverage on this latest BMW model. The new 7 will definitely be a popular subject for the next few weeks and expect to receive more information, photos or brochures.
Early this morning, we were some of the first sites to show you the leaked official photos, but unfortunately the quality of the images wasn't what we expected. We knew that it will be just a matter of time until everyone that was holding onto the official brochures, will go ahead and release them.
So here we are, a few hours later, and we finally have some decent size images that will allow us to zoom in and explore the features of this amazing, in my opionion, new 7 Series.

2The bigger pictures really makes a difference. Must admit, its growing on me in a big way. Thanks Horatiu for posting these and the sketches.
I think the important thing here is that its got its own character, its own personality. Once you see it in the metal, it will blow you away! Somebody else said it looks like a blown up 3 series, I wish people like this would just shut up and at least pretend to have an IQ.
BMW is the only manufacturer thats got an identity for each model range. Audi is the worst when it comes to this, their cars really just look like bigger or smaller versions of the same design.
Said way too much…

3I have always loved Bangale’s BMW designs, but I don’t really know what to think about this new 7 series. When a new BMW comes up I always thought it wonderful… know this car is seems like me a shark without teeth. I don’t like it as the others.
I think the older design was better.

4Oh my! I’ve owned seven BMW’s but just last month sold my beautiful 01 740i for an equally beautiful Jaguar XJR. I cannot abide the new BMW designs, which began with the last seven series. The last attractive car they made was the 03 five series. I had hope, though. I hoped that the new seven would once again be a beautiful automobile followed a similarly beautiful five series replacement. But unfortunately it looks like I’ll have the Jag for some time. Specifically, this new seven looks a top heavy (its width does not seem in the correct proportion to its height, the front is too fat and blunt, the kidney grills are two large (they look like nostrils) and inside the car sits that dreaded multi-purpose I-Drive knob panned by every reviewer who ever used it. Why cannot the Germans use a touch screen and be done with that foolish knob?
Let me tell you about my Jag…….!

5When I first looked at the car, I had a bad impression and I hated it. But now It’s really growing on me quickly and I’m starting to like it, after I’ve looked deeply into the design. The interior is just fantastic. So is the exterior. A bit simple, but that’s what beauty is all about!

7Two things I’m not quite sold on: the size of the kidney grill and the electronic shift lever.

8First off i must say I love BMW and have always been a fan, i have owned 2 Bmw 5 series in the past and greatly admire the 7series! i recently decided to try something different and went for a Mercedes E500series after 12,000miles i have no complaints either. I do plan on owning another BMW in the future HOWEVER….the new design on the rear of all the new 2008/2009 designs except the 5 series, have the back which looks just like a Toyota corrolla if u have a 3series or a toyota avalon/camry on the new 2009 7series?? The front and side views are great just those back/rear designs are NOT attractive, looks cheap and does not compliment the rest of the car design! Does anyone else agree? The new Jaguar XJR is more appealing to me right now sorry to say but its true! Dont get me wrong i still love BMW just not excited about new design modifications! Jaguar does not have a great reputation but the new design has peaked my interest!!

9@Steve (massachusetts):
Steve, not a big fan of the Jaguar, they might look nice, but….it still drives as a Jaguar. I think most of the people buy bimmers mostly because of the driving experience. And I agree, the new design does not appeal to everyone, but it all comes down to personal preference in the end

15Ugly, Simply UGLY, i mean, the front is good looking and attractive, but back, is just horrible!!! it’s a complete turn off of the 7-series identity, kind of copying volvo come to think of it.

16Not a fan of this car. Just purchased a 750LI; however, I liked the body style of the 745Li. My 750Li has grown on me and I was waiting for the 2009 series.
Big disappointment! The body style looks like a Toyota and why did they take the gear shift and push button start from the wheel. Seems like they have new designer and need to go back to the old designers. I have the knob nav. Prefer the touch screen in my Denali

17Eh…it’s ok. With the Lexus LS460, and the Mercedes Sedans, plus the new Acura RL, all of which look much better, it’s dissapointing this is where they went with the design. And the back looks like the new Avalon!? hmmm…
