What did you all expect? It's a big sedan. The S550 without sport package doesn't look much better. The interiors and exteriors in 3 German super sedans are becoming very similar. Everyone will ***** and ***** about the new design, but in a few months you will see new owners flood the forums as with any other car. The same was true for the E60 M5/M6, 997, etc, etc... I think the sport package 7 will look very good!

I think what you really need to throw up all over is the Panermera that thing looks absolutely disgraceful. That thing should wear the Hyundai badge.

I think the sexiest aspect of the new 7 are the front lights, long nose, and CS type kidney grill. The interior is also nice. At least they're wrapping leather around certain areas as part of the luxury package, something that was only previously reserved for the 760LI.

Oh no... BMW needs to stop doing this, i was sure with the disaster of the last 7 series, that with the next generation, they would go back to their classic designs... i was wrong, that car is a train wreck and truly one of the ugliest cars i have ever seen

What the hell, the car just does not look right. It looks like a current 7 series with down syndrome.

After 12 years of BMW's they finally pushed me away with lack of style and over-technology. The CS show-car was beautiful and they'll probably do it as some high-end, over-priced thing. The current 3 (sedan) was & still is ugly. The 5-series is only slightly better. The current 7 started like crap and became a tad better with the "refreshening" that happened quick. While this new 7 looks better than the old one, which isn't hard at all, I think they should have done more. I hope designers soon figure out that trying to do something interesting with large headlamp & taillamp assemblies just sucks. I know it's cost effective but for cripes sake, I really don't want to see the lights wrapping around the sides. This "dame Edna" thing that started on the 5 is still somewhat evident here. BMW's should be crisp and creased, not soft and rounded as they've now been for awhile. Lucky for them they still drive like a BMW and few others can compare.

Better than the current model, but it's no beauty queen. I like that they have a diesel version now though. It's probably too soon to know for sure, but I hope they bring the diesel to the US.
