Autospies just posted the OFFICIAL US press release with FULL details. Obviously the press release was leaked cause it's dated July 5th...
I'm very surprised that they still use 6-speed transmition...not the rumored 8-speed http://www.autospies.com/images/user...se%20FINAL.pdf Last edited by XBMW6; 07-03-2008 at 03:10 PM.. |

World’s first Integrated Owner’s Manual.
The amazing spectrum of new features, technologies and capabilities offered by the new 7 Series is rounded out by yet another first: the Integrated Owner’s Manual. Analogous to the Help functions of today’s computers, BMW now delivers the owner’s manual electronically, via iDrive. In just seconds, the user can access information on virtually any detail of the vehicle’s equipment, systems, operation, etc…like a traditional owner’s manual, only better. Subjects are presented in a multimedia format of animations, slide shows with sound and written description taken from the 38 Page Press Release I bet they spent more time on this than on the exterior design.

I guess we can hope for a more sporty front and rear fascia at face-lift time...

damn bmw what the hell did you do to this car, the rear is totally hideous and so is the front, the side view is the only good view on the exterior but COT DAMN!! I'm luving the interior, driver oriented interiors are back, I hope all the whiners will shut up about that now!!

At the cost of being repetitive...1) back reminds me too much the Lexus LS 2) changes are not as drastic as most would have liked (but is anyone really that surprised with bmw's recent design track record) and 3)the CS was never meant to be the new 7, new 8? maybe.
after letting the pics marinate in my mind for a few hours and then looking again, i'm starting to appreciate it more. back is still too lexus-y. but you can definitely see some more subtle stying cues from the CS. Plus I think some of these angles don't let you truly appreciate the car. now let me go look at the pics 1 more time and talk myself into thinking this is the sexiest flagship i've ever seen

gone is Amber glow, and gauges glow blue now?? Lexus-Jaguar-Passat mix?... WHY?
Anyway, I like the Lexus style rear and I like this car much more then older 7. I think in short wheelbase and with big wheels, in jet black this will be one sleek luxo barge, and I'm sure dictators all over the world will be happy to get this.

DAMN MAN , this is got to be one of the ugliest bimmers EVER. wtf , were they smoking crack when they designed the exterior ???? i mean seriously , THE kidneys are WAY too large , the rear head lights look like they were STRAIGHT rip from some kind of japanese auto maker and the Front looks like it got into an accident. VERY bad design for 7 series, not liking it AT ALL , except the interior, interior is nice.

I AM SURE!! ITS GONNA GET AN LCI AFTER 2YEARS... smh.. this shit is not so great man... the LS450 looks better. and the Elegant S550 looks better... smh... BMW... disappointment... I BELEIVE this is all for the set up of increasing CS worth & sales..
The new I-drive looks fricking cool! Finally! Hard drive based... I HATE DVD BASED WITH A PASSION! Then again, the car looks like CEO / Executive type... (as it always has!).. its to the point in looks, though not so prestige. These are the only pics that work for me: I like how the side windows are finally a bit shorter... closer to CLS and 300c like windows. I had always wished the e90's side windows were a bit shorter :-/. the rear, here looks like CS direction: |

The front looks a little better, the back still needs work, but the interior! It looks much cleaner and better finished.

I don`t know what to say!!! Maybe in time i will like it, not now. Interior looks very good, probably the best current bmw interior. I was having so high hopes for this one to look good.

Quick Pchop someone did on Germancarzone.com
They seem to love the new 7. I personally didn't like it at first but it has grown on me over the past few hours. I still dislike the rear taillight arrangement it screams Lex LS. But I cant wait to see one on the streets esp. w/sport pkg. and large rims.

Just hideous. What a backwards step in desing. Very disappointing.
What are those AWFUL side grills on the front fenders/door area? Only nice things are the headlights and the interior. |
