the S- class has NOTHING to worry about.

You must be Bangle's wife. The Bangle 7,5, and 3, and 1 are not aging that well. Only the M5, M3 variants are aging well. All others look dated. The Bangle 5 series design has universally been panned as not looking or aging as well as the e39, e34, or even the e28.

All these years and you come up with this? What is this? An LCI? Technology is as expected given it is 2015 and nothing new. Is it going to copy tech from the S class - Magic Body Control, etc? The gesture control is the weirdest, most unnecessary gimmick ever. But the design! That's all the designers could come up with or the management just didn't want to invest too much since so much money went in to i3/i8?

They should have saved 200kg off the new M3/4. Now THAT would have been impressive. Probably impossible. |

What's with all the chrome trim?? This looks more blinged out than an Escalade! Never thought I'd say that about a BMW...
Forget the S-Class, this won't be the second or even third best car in the segment in the design/looks department. |

Let's look at this again. It appears the car is still riding high (as high as the photos with the car on shipping blocks!) Since the photographer went to such great lengths to conceal the background, it's not unreasonable to assume.
Here is the original photo: And here it is lowered to a reasonable M-Sport height, and if you ask me, it looks sleek as hell. Someone else can darken the chrome to get a better picture, but all I can say is wow! The only thing I did was to lower the ride height of the car, no other changes, and look at the difference it makes in the character of the car. |

So many negative comments here , I wonder will someone from BMW pay attention because so far reactions are quite BAD...mostly design wise and I agree , they should have gone radical with this one

Perhaps it's a lux or non standard version. M Sport will look much better...bigger wheels, less fender gap, less chrome and so forth.

Brilliant! !
I can hardly see a difference with my 2015 F01. That means that it will keep its price well, G11 will be discounted soon and I will be able to upgrade at almost no cost! Looks more like a LCI really and I am quite happy with that. |
