M-pack is a must together with a crazy individual color. Otherwise it just looks like a mess..

Those are some hella buck teeth. I'm not sure if I like it or if I'm subconsciously scared of it.

I do like that color.

Very classy.

The grill comes off as being real big,
but I'm sure once we start seeing them
on the road, they will be received real well.

Hum, I'm afraid you guess it wrong. In China, limo buyers make their choice by the size of space between chairs, not of the grills

You know what is sad... That All other markets, particularly Dubai, get these striking colors and all we get is run o the mill colors. I follow BMW UAE on social media and not just the 7 but X and 5, 6 have unique and gorgeous colors. Case in point...

Yes definitely an acquired taste! Someone custom ordered the car like this. Bit shocking to see a new B7 in what amounts to be a 1970s color.

I do not like this one bit. I think it is hideous and also stands out in traffic so law enforcement can get a really good read, even when in traffic.

Don't you just love it when there is a pack of cars all traveling at the same over the limit speed and one gets pulled over -- and the one is you? Happened to me with a red E39. I prefer stealthier colors, and in any event a B7 is the ultimate stealth cruiser, exceeded only by the 760.
