true, they all make big grills these days... and then when VW made new Scirocco, i was surprised because that car has a tiny slat grill and that's it. Oh well, i like big grilles.. I think from the days when Audi made its RS2 Avant cars there wasn't a better balance of intake sizes, grill sizes, etc, all design wise.

I love the large grille. It's much more bold/prominent/exciting. To be fair, old old Bimmers had humongous grilles. I'm talking really old here...

anyone else think the positioning of the idrive controls are awkward at best? how are you supposed to reach around and hit those buttons? if someone hits your arm while you're accessing the controls, I'd be afraid of going jogging the shifter.

(Sorry, I've never seen the interior of a 7 before)
