Introducing the New 7 Series and First Ever i7

emulajavi · 04-20-2022, 08:20 AM

The hood line is a mess

The back is FAT

The only good looking view is the side view.

The more you look at the front, the more you notice things that are wrong.

Dark paint M760e looks great. Really like that a lot actually. The light colored lux model, not so much. Interior is absolute fire either way

SFBavarianArea · 04-20-2022, 08:31 AM

The exterior fit and finish are fkn amazing, subjective opinions aside. This woulda been a concept car a decade ago. Brava BMW.

phantom7835 · 04-20-2022, 08:32 AM

Another horrific car that needs dark paint to hide it's flaws

vincechase · 04-20-2022, 08:33 AM

Actually like this new design do it to x5 and x3 will look dope.

I'm genuinely amazed that this design language lasted more than a few years. But it's the Chinese market people. They like big grills and bmw doesn't really care what the internet thinks when their sales break records every quarter. Either way, this much like the other bmws with this new hideous design language sell well in those markets and are here to stay. I'm glad they're selling them in china because no way would I ever put myself in any of these new bmws. The F90 M5 is a prime example of what a bmw should look like

Amin2810 · 04-20-2022, 08:38 AM

The design team have knocked this one out the park! Hate train is becoming slightly boring, can we all admit for once the daring look of this car is stunning… I'll take two thank you very much.

AlexFL · 04-20-2022, 08:40 AM

Looks insane. Polarizing for sure. At least it’s not boring like the MB EQS.

Hutchinson04 · 04-20-2022, 08:42 AM

Unlike the current electric design trend it doesn't scream "I am electric and I am saving the planet."

AlexFL · 04-20-2022, 08:42 AM

…. and they kept the physical iDrive knob. Nowadays, this is something to celebrate….

M4Ghost · 04-20-2022, 08:46 AM

I actually really think it's progressive looking I like it

F15Lover · 04-20-2022, 08:50 AM

The design is not as cohesive and modest as BMW is known for, but in a world full of crossovers the sedans have to overcompensate. I don't hate it and it's a modern interpretation of the beloved E38 (older BMWs take the cake).

Yes, and that's only helpful when no one is back there using it.

Mercedes and Audi bosses open champagne.

GGG333 · 04-20-2022, 08:59 AM

Nope.

ChiTownM · 04-20-2022, 09:01 AM

The design is definitely less geared towards the transitional markets in Europe and North America. There is huge progress in the car industry nowadays and companies need to be more agile and daring to stay relevant, just like many other industries. I will wait to see it in person but I also know that I will hold on to my current BMWs which represent what I enjoy from the brand, even though it may be outdated by todays standard.

The interior is a giant leap forward and looks well executed…..

Yup , looking at this car and the x7. It just screams Chinese.
But the headlight design is also a copy of certain cheap euro brands.

PARTS@STBMW · 04-20-2022, 09:05 AM

So many details! Love it

BRNDNSLVRA · 04-20-2022, 09:05 AM

Fire the whole design team.

Maverik259 · 04-20-2022, 09:06 AM

Interior is gorgeous. Not a fan of the stuck on after thought of an infotainment system. Biggest reason I left Mercedes' for bmw back in 2014. I want my iPad at home. Not stuck on the dash or my car. If you don't want to give me a gauge cluster at least pretend like the current 3/5 series. Overall I understand design and change for sake of change. Doesn't mean I have to like it. Haha

And I will NEVER like the split headlight look. Specifically because the cheap Korean brands did it first so that is all I will ever see now. Shame bmw has lost its way in front end design.
