Anybody with taste and history with BMW design will look at this abomination and puke their guts out. What has happened to BMW. Tsk tsk. This is what a beautiful 7 series used to look like:

Sorry, but it's not even close. Merc's S Class outsells the 7er 3-to-1.

Is it by alienating your current fanbase that your sales grows? Is it because you target another customer base that could be offended by the old design cues, that the sales grows? There are so many reasons why BMW might prosper, but I don't believe it's caused by their new landmark design. The link you make between your net disposable cash and the appreciation of the qualities/looks of a car remain a mystery te me. I see it popping up as an argument in the fora now and then. Would be a nice Phd project for a master in psychology though. |

Two tone looks nice, but I don't imagine many US buyers will be opting for the expensive paint. Only cars I really ever see two tone on is mainly Maybachs. Even most Rolls I've seen are a single shade.
That front end though still doesn't match the rest of the understated design from the sides and rear though. |

Anyway, I just try to ignore or laugh at their petty attempts to curry favour with their like-minded internet pals… sad really… but there you go, it takes all types in this pseudo-connected internet world. |

No. Mercedes and Maybach were following Rolls Royce, which is owned by BMW.

BMW's latest design moves have been a success by every available metric, but the toxic haters will never be satisfied.

No, it's a very old and boxy car. Anything BMW makes today is more beautiful for this day and age.

Losing four out of five years and winning by 7% in one year could hardly be considered "knocking the socks off their lux competition" (by any available metric, as you'd say). You guys do know that facts matter, right?
