And it speaks volumes about BMW design and their current lineup for a 5 year old car like the 7 Series to still look fresh compared to the new S class model
With all that been said, one thing were Mercedes is winning is on the performance end. The performance numbers on some of their AMG models is down right astonishing. That's were BMW needs to start focusing on especially on their M models.

Their move to AWD on their AMG models was a smart move.I am glad BMW is considering an AWD option in the next gen M5.Better be late than never.The lack of AWD was one big reason i turned away from the M5.All that torque and just the rear wheels would be a disaster in my scenario.
