Regarding "every model BMW"...yup, I'm old enough to remember when the E39 came out, it was said by many to be the ugliest thing ever. |

I can’t help to think the same. And I can afford the 7er, in case you were wondering. And for additional perspective I love the nose of the m3/m4/i4 and I have an incoming iXM60 |

I guess it's supposed to be reminiscent of the Ghost's two tone scheme?

I don't like the new split headlight and front bumper at all.

Haven't really looked at the design since the initial uproar a few months ago when BMW unveiled it. With a fresh pair of eyes, it definitely looks like straight ass. Haphazard and non-cohesive design.
Thankfully it has an interior to die for. One of the most impressive interiors I've ever seen of any car irregardless of price.

Two tone works well with those split headlights. Saw an i7 in the flesh the other day and thought it looked great. I’d take this one pictured here over that in a heartbeat though, looks like a million bucks
E38 is a looker, just a guess but I’d bet they’re more comparable in size to the current 5er though. It’s the “sporty shorty” 740i’s that look great, not the iL models. Those looked a tad boaty. |

Uhhhh….just saw this on my FB feed - the same two tone paint and 2 extra cylinders for 1/10 the price!!! That G70 is heinous….I think this Excursion wears the two tone better.

What an abomination.
But, if the ugly g80 grew on people, so will this. Thankfully, normal people are not getting banned for their opinions like when the previous abomination came out. |

You like ugly BMW's in the range, other people will like these. I like the G20, for example, although that's not ugly (yet...) Taste is subjective, regardless of what the objective truth may be (poll a billion people, they will tell you the new BMW's of today are far less attractive than their predecessors. Compared to contemporary automakers, still debatable. Give me a new Mercedes SL over literally anything BMW designed in the last three years.) |

I was a defender of the G8x grille but the front of the 7 is something else. It doesn’t fit the car I think. It just doesn’t look elegant, cohesive, or expensive. |

At the same time, so have the designers. I don’t think the choice has to be bold OR handsome. I think you can do both. These new designs feel like a fad to me and not timeless. It feels like design is forgetting about the sporty, clean elegance that the brand had for a long time. Everything looks either garish or out of place somehow. If you wanted the 4er and M4 to push an edgy language, that’s fine, but we now see this everywhere in the line. Bangle butt worked because it was appropriate for the car. Flame surfacing worked on the Z4 because it was cohesive and harmonious with the rest of the car. A 7 series should look like a BMW in its most refined form. It should evoke envy in those that gaze at it. I just don’t think this design achieves those goals. A great talking point, but a model to be forgotten in a future walk through the generations. |
