Yes this looks one of those blatant Chinese copycat cars.
Time will tell whether Bmw got this right or not. |

You and the 440i dude might want to take a look at the two-tone paint on many Rolls-Royce models. As you may know, RR is now a subsidiary of BMW AG and that’s where the two-tone paint inspiration comes from (as well as the automatic doors and several other, less obvious details).

This car has way too many colors, and way too many different materials and textures. I don't necessarily hate how it looks, but it just gives me a headache. What is all that recycled large pore cloth in there? Swarovski crystals for buttons, but no leather on those surfaces? The aesthetics are a tragedy, which is too bad, because the tech is freakin' awesome.

That's a good question. I never seriously considered Porsche. Maybe I should have. Maybe its because I'm getting old and am very comfortable with the BMW ergonomics (also MB from my wife's E wagon). I also have a BMW dealer and SA I can trust, so there is a comfort level there.
I did briefly look at Audi but my past experiences with Audi have not been great.

Did they change your production date? Going to status 150 I think means they will not allow any more changes in the order but does it mean the car is coming quicker?

Production Status on US Cars
I can confirm that there are none at any US Dealers yet (as of 9/16). The closest ones have just finished production. Here's a screenshot from the national dealer locator for all G70 vehicles.

Generally speaking, the best selling is a flawed way to look at things. What was the alternative to the 7 series 20 years ago? The limpy Audi A8 or the absolutely non-enthusiast S-class? There was a Lexus, but only in the US... And then, today, you have what, a half a billion more people able to afford to buy a 7 series, and then there is a wealth of new models and BMW is uglier than competition, and BMW itself has the Rolls and there are Bentleys and S-class that drives well.. .Porsche makes a Panamera which any enthusiast who can afford one will consider over the 7 series at the very least. And Audi still has the limpy market covered. Not sure what Lexus makes. And - the luxury sedan market has fallen a lot. Luxury SUVs on the other hand has gained a lot. in 2002 there was pretty much nothing in way of luxury SUV sans Range Rover perhaps, Cayenne was an offroader first and luxury second in 2004, and so on and on. Market has changed a lot. BMW 7 series will probably never sell as well as back then, when the tastes different and alternatives too. BMW is making their XM car now - on top of X7, so thats clear where the focus is. 7 series is a niche car today, but it was not a niche car as such in 2002. So this argument about best selling = best design is pretty silly. There is a lot more nuance in this, but - nuance is not part of the forums, so I digress. |
