My dad currently dirves the 2005 750LI. Its a great car and converted me from a mercedes-benz man to a BMW man. I was really looking forward to the arrival of the New(was) Mercedes-benz S-class as my dad had one on order but to our disapointment it was a real let down! my mum calls it a glorified Toyota. yes it is wat you would expect in the inside but the outside is shocking! Due to the look of the S-class we went and baught a BMW 7 series. regardless of all the bashing it gets it really is an AMAZING car. the front of it is so agressive and sexy while the whole shape of the car gives it presence on the road, something alot of cars lack; looking at thies photos at first i was very disapointed! they have made it boring! something it wasnt before. I will try to reserve judgement until i see the car but i really want(ed) a new 7. My expectation was set very high after seeing the CS concept and the New BMW X6. I am also sad to see the famouse "bangle but" go. Please may this car look great in person; please. I am really in 2 minds about the new BMW 7 series. My dad currently dirves the 2005 750LI.

So saying that the new 7 looks like a lexus is really saying that the bmw looks like its older self...not to mention the previous lexus looked like the older mercedes...if anything, bangle should be applauded for the groundbreaking design, including the "bangle butt" which has since been copied by other makers also the current lexus takes a lot of cues from the current bmw, which was out first.

Plus they are growing up on people including me slowly, which means they dont age quickly. The new design has nothing striking and different other than the front grill (and it's ugly) the rest is a typical Lexus (actually 90% copy of the LS460, shame BMW , shame!!) or as Clara said a big Hyundai. I'm emotinally attacking this new 7series because I'm a BMW fan since I was 6 years old , the lovely days of the E23 and E24, and I loved those cars and was always proud of the new BMWs until the Bangle era opened with the E65, and now with this (F)01 it looks like BMW is getting F...ed and that's No.1 of it.

I think that the flagship needs to have it's own confident, refined design and the lower models should derive from *it*. The CS was a much purer design, this car isn't sure what it is. Is it a big hyundai? They took away a lot of the character that the 7-series had (has), and borrowed from the 3-series.

I think it's beautiful too, with intricate detailing and flowing lines. This model is successfully deBangled, and has more than a few cues from the CS, a good thing.

The brake eating asc thing does not work as good as my good old fashion auto blocking diferential on my 540i. In the past, on all bmw models (i had 5 x bmw 5) had this special diferential as an option. Why did they stop? so if i can drive the new model without moving the seat and without getting stuck the first one at the dealer wil be mine. I don't care about the looks, as long as its black & bmw I’m still with the previous 7, i did not get the latest model because of 2 reasons:

That image is still in my mind and I was extremely impressed. Somehow the nose on this version with the very large kidney grill looks very wrong.

I did fall in love with that design as it was more reminiscent of the 3 series coupe, only full-sized. The front end was sharp and the styling was sexy. I got to sit in, walk around and admire it well. Now this. I am very unhappy with the changes that they made to it. The front looks ackward and just not something I'd expect from BMW. I was seriously considering this car and I know that it has all the gadgets, and technology to fullfill me, but the styling is repulsive IMO. I will either have to step down to a 5 series that I do like, or will jump brands to the other Bavarian automaker in Ingolstadt which still makes a sophisticated and tasteful German full size sedan.
