That hockey stick gets me every time. Design wise the new 7 is not very well sorted. Absolutely gorgeous from some angles, yet surprisingly horrible in certain color combinations.
The car doesn't look really good in white, in part because the hockey stick really stands out, but also because the black out portion of the front camera by the grill. I think black with blacked out trims is the way to go. |

The problem with white on the new 7 is that the side hockey sticks are very visually distracting to me. Especially so with light color on the M-Sport (dark hockey stick) and dark color on the non-M-Sport (chrome hockey stick). Another element that gets to my OCD is the front camera between the kidney grills. On light color car it makes front end a bit incomplete and disjointed. On a black car, all these elements blend in nicely. I can paint the hockey stick white on a white car to match, but I wouldn't know what to do with the "black spot" between the grills. |

That black "hockey stick" is precisely why I went with white -- I definitely WANT it to stand out. I think it's slick, and brings focus to the length of the car, which is imposing in a great way, and "grounds" it in a way. I love it. The G12 is a bahn-storming highway bad-ass when equipped with the M-Sport package (and shadow line)

I can certainly respect the individual preference of others, and the car overall does look sharp in white, as most Bimmer do.
Maybe because I am from Canada, that hockey stick really gives me a WTF reaction everytime I see. The picture of the dark blue car kinda reaffirms my point that the hockey stick blends in better on dark colors with M Sport trims. |
