Love it! Some design elements really hark back to 7's of yesteryear.

I can't get behind the M760e lettering. The numbers should all be the same height as it now looks like it's the 60e version of the M7.

Did BMW forget to take off the cladding before the photoshoot? Because yikes… that's really bad.

Man this looks much better than I thought it would be! That interior is absolutely insane. I'm actually excited to see how this trickles down to other models.

One shouldn't have to resort to picking black in order to hide that mess of a front end. The front bumper looks abysmal in lighter colors and then adding the silly split headlights along with that nutty grille. Good grief.

What is the M760e? There's a gallery full of photos of it, but no mention of that model in the press release.

Damn, the M Sport is so menacing!
Love it and love these new bold designs from BMW.
It was time to break the mold and carve new paths.
Interior is just stunning.
The designers at BMW are having fun, that's how it should be.

Those things look like luxurious freight train engines……literally. I'm sure my eyes will adjust to the boldness. Surprisingly I like the M760(i)(e) front ends.

Well I absolutely love the interior.

Though I really don't see how this design fits their demographic.

No bad. In your face design like all new cars. Tech is nuts but the rear toutch screen controllers are weird.

How important is this car in terms of sales numbers? I rarely see 7er/A8s...mostly S class.

I have hated BMW design for the past few years, but I love this one. It has a really cool vibe to it. I'd take it over any other luxury saloon.

Interior is fine, front end not so much. The new X7 looks way better

Really? You don't think BMW considered this? C'mon man.

In the video posted above, the head of design said that the screen does not impair visibility thru the rear window because - according to him - a driver looks down thru the window, not up. I don't know how valid that is, but BMW certainly considered the issue.
