The two-tone thing can work, I'm just not a fan of that combo. Paint hues aside the new 7 is boss, especially in sport trim.

Something about the last picture with 5 official guys standing with the car. I think the car can sell and look better with women by it. It's just my bias.

Looks clean imo

A few questions tho:
1. I wonder if they will give the black grille the LED treatment going forward?
2. Will they keep the black/dark grayish cashmere color an option for all 7 models?
3. Why is there a charge port on the driver side front panel? I thought the EV 7s had their charge port on the other side where the gas filler would be

I like the M760e over this overall tho, cant wait till we get reviews of that

The China model has two charging ports. The front is AC and the back is DC. I‘ve been told…

RE:IMAGINE TOMORROW

The best analogy of BMW today.

Beast in Mediocre Wear

Can you see the new "body language"?

PS. Now I also understand why the new leather seats are not wrinkle free.

I’ve never been that fond of any 7 series, but I think this one looks pretty amazing. It’s hard making a big sedan look great.

It works well in market like China, Russia or the Middle East. Ppl in these market are the showy and shouty type. Esp in China where you have a bunch of money you are the king regardless your mentality or education background.

While in South East Asian market like mine, we would prefer low key single tone color.

Well its basically designed for the China market. Ich chinese dont really care about elegance, style or subtle luxury. They wanted bold, explosive and shouty design.

well... i'd want a two-tone - but i'm not spending 15k on paint!
(merc is at 20k)

but as said: the rich chinese guy will probably prefer two tone instead of B&W speakers

It’s not just the Chinese, it’s the Americans too. And the Middle East. People just like having “others” to blame for something they don’t like so they can deride the “others” as tacky and tasteless. I’m not going to call outright racism, but it doesn’t hurt that the “others” are usually the Chinese in this situation.

Let’s be honest, if you spend $130K+ on a car, you want it to look like you did. Some exceptions here and there, sure; but generally speaking people don’t want their car looking like it costs less than it does. You think the big Rolls Royce and Bentley grills are on accident?
