Thanks but do not be worried as we all already knew how does the new 7-series looked like. It has already leaked.

Sigh BMW, so much focus on technology, looks, and luxury. Is this really what BMW 7er customers are asking for? Hand gestures? Self parking cars? Touch screens? Really makes me miss the good old e38 days and I am not even 40 yet! I cringe at the next generation of self driving autos. I have been told by numerous BMW insiders that the current 7er has been a huge let down volume/sales wise. I think this is partly because the 7 is confused.. is this a car to drive or be driven in?

Thank you very much for the post. I have been told that the new kidney grills blades opens and closes depending on the engine temperature is that true?
Also what is the red carpet option I heard about?

bodystyling looks more like the new s class somehow.

Yes the car has active aerodynamics and are clearly shown in the press photos recently released. Since someone already mentioned the Light Carpet...It's the pathway lighting which is now OLED source. Many members have been speculating whether the M4 GTS (whatever nomenclature is used) or M2 would be the first car to introduce OLED exterior lighting. That press release simply stated M GmbH would soon launch a production car featuring OLED Technology not that the car would be launching the technology. That said, the 7 does not have OLED tail lights nor is M GmbH responsible solely for ///Mx (single digit) cars.

That rendering is the closest I've seen that comes close to actually conveying the presence it has in person. That said, the hood/bonnet are not correct, the mirrors are not correct, and the design of the front bumper cover is close but still significantly off (from the production M Sport).

Yes it is more aggressive and refined than that rendering. I think athletic would be a more appropriate term.

And yet the M Sport doesn't quite look like those renderings
...Oh wait, the holes around the bumper vents are meant to attach some sort of aluminum / gloss black trim like on the previously referred to render Last edited by advantage20; 05-25-2015 at 08:49 AM.. |
