Petition Against the New 7

I am a huge BMW enthusiast and I've backed up BMW on almost every design. I am afraid to say that the New 7 is HIDEOUS. Is there anything we can do to stop BMW from starting production?

IMPOSSIBLE

Did you have any plans on buying the new 7 series prior to seeing it?

If not, then why do you care? That's why they make many different models, something for everyone.

I always reserve judgment until seeing the car in person.

LOL. Honestly BMW is on drugs. I guess they have this proposition that if "We made it you will learn to love it and it will look beautiful to you" Bunch of crap. Seriously get over yourselves.

haha I wasnt serious about actually stopping production.

Just stating how ugly thew new 7 series is. And how disappointing it is to see a car make it through production such as this.

What ever happened to good looking BMW's:

LMAO... i'm gonna wait for petitioning until i see it in person... like the E90, when it first came out, pictures did not do it justice! Still I believe BMW has some things up their sleeves. I believe their will be more options for each car line up. I'm sure their is a sport version coming out.. and I aint talkin B7. I'm talking aero kit and such... just look at the new S CLass with aero kit.

New 7 is one of the best designs to come out from BMW in terms of the 7 series styling ever, IMO. Props to the team responsible for the design

And the interior follows the basic perfection from the X6... I don't see one thing wrong with this car!#!@

All they need to do is shrink the kidney's a bit and move the bonnet shut line down in line with the top of the grilles like the e92 and e60. Problem solved.

Petition with your wallet perhaps? I admit I wish BMW hadn't made many of their past 7er's... but this one? Finally a 7 that looks acceptable and (reportedly) performs like a dream!

Couldn't agree more. This is FINALLY what a 7 series should look like. The Bangleised Bimmers are on their way out, YEAH!!

I too am a true BMW enthusiast, you've got my signature OP. From the hideous front end, to those stupid plastic things near the fenders, to the hideous taillights, and awful exhaust, and to the BLUE GUAGES (WTF?!?!?), this car is just awful. It's a big bucket of shit on BMW's name.

To anyone who likes this, you are an idiot. It's awful, and you're blind if you can't see that.

Here is what a real 7 series looks like:

Too many of your guys are judging the car before even seeing it!

For your information, there are no BLUE GUAGES (WTF?!?!?), . The gauges glow white during the day and then orange when the headlights are switched on. They'll look almost identical to all other BMW gauges except for the fact that they'll be brighter, which isn't a bad thing. Hell, the cluster looks more like old bimmers than the current 7 does with all its orange glow all over the place.

Hideous front end? it's barely different from the current 7 except for the bigger grill.

Hideous taillights? If you are a true BMW enthusiast as you claim, you'll realize that the taillight design mimics older bimmers. Want proof?

Well they looked blue in the pictures I saw. Ok I can see what you are saying about the taillight design mimicking older models, but I think their implementation is where they went wrong.

And yes hideous frontend, the current 7 isn't all that great either.
