If you don't want to compare the 7 to the Merc, how about the Tesla? Now there's a beautiful new, modern approach to interior design.

If the TESLA was not so wide I would be keen on one , it's just too wide for UK A/B roads IMO.

Well that's embarrassing. The car looks terribly like a cheap auto manufacturer I will not mention. Have to imagine this brand will pay a pretty penny to BMW designers to pass them design ideas for unreleased BMWs under the table. Now we went from this brand copying vehicles after they're released to having the design before the car is released

Artour · 05-12-2015, 07:39 AM

So much hate here. i personally think Tesla looks like crap inside and out and it shouldn't be compared to 7 series. It's just electric vehicle no refinement no luxury everybody jumped on this save the planet green garbage but they forget that to produce batteries makes much more pollution than gas

M sport will look similar to this

This looks GOOD...Will it look like this at all?

This is a disappointing change. The new 7 series is simply, unattractive.

The 7 series seems to aim at looking more Japanese and less German each time.

This is evidently driven by the Asian market. Probably BMW sees more 7 series will go to the Asian market than everywhere else combined, for the future generation.

The M-Sport looks 95% like this, and it really looks good. Even the subtle Details are in this render. The official car in m sport basically looks like this.

Not one BMW can out accelerate it to 60MPH though.

In fact not many cars.

I pretty much know what the new 7-Series looks like, and it looks very good, but you are right. BMW needs some new design revolution. I wish they would turn to the italians for exterior design. Imagine a BMW-Pininfarina partnership, look at the Gran Lusso concept, BMW would have cars which look a lot more exotic.

Many people work hard and aspire to own such nice cars. While some people on here may not be able to afford the car today, that doesn't mean they won't be able to in the near future. Their opinions matter just as much as anyone else's.

It's fair for them to say what they want. And it's fair for you to disagree. Just show a little respect and don't respond like an imbecile. Thanks.

pathetic?

er no I can respond how I want. it's an opinon they can also say what they want. You just called me a "very insecure and sad little boy" do I care? no (you could be a peadophile which can be worrying though) but Im just saying dont judge it untill BMW have officially revealed it.

I wish they made the 8 series look like that its stunning

hinckley · 05-12-2015, 11:32 AM

What ever happened to the sleek, svelte 7 Series? The last one was the E38 MSport, 15 years ago! The Gran Lusso would be that car's perfect new-gen update. Who decided 7s needed to be . . . chunky???

I believe that. But I'm also sure that the render shows the new 7 at an optimal angle - down low, front quarter. It's the front-on and stubby profile that are most objectionable. As I asked above, when did 7s become so chunky?

BMWRL · 05-12-2015, 02:38 PM

Some of the comments on this site are absurd, for one, this looks nothing like that hideous Lexus GS...

That aside, I do feel a bit underwhelmed with the exterior of this new 7, there is a little too much chrome going on, I do think the reflection from all the lights in this spy shot, is also making seem very bling-blingy. This new 7 still looks like a big heavy car, regardless of the weight savings it will usher in. I think BMW needs to add more simplicity, sleekness and elegance in their big cars. I'll leave final judgement for when I see it in the flesh, but so far, it seems a bit safe.

335ifanatic · 05-12-2015, 04:11 PM

I'll wait until I see proper pictures of the new 7 or see it in person before I comment. And the 7 that is been showed at the VIP events is still a pre-production 7 so bits and pieces might be changed up on the full production car.

After 60mph, it is so slow. 0-30mph is indeed very fast but the fun soon ends once you accelerate to 60.

It boggles my mind how people can declare Car A the winner over Car B without anyone having seen or even driven Car B.
It must be a new level of crazy I have yet to experience.
I'll reserve judgement until I see the new 7 in the metal.

You are a child. Grow up. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't give you the right to make up shit about them.

While the not owning a BMW part of his comment is taking it a bit too far, he is not wrong about the people trolling. I've seen it on other websites too. People unanimously declaring the S Class the winner over the new 7 without having seen or driven it. I mean the 7 has not even been officialy unveiled yet. Heck, people are claiming S Class is great and the new 7 is rubbish even before the recent 7 series test drives by various publications (which by the way has stated that the new 7 is a serious contender to the S).
This constant dismissal of the new 7 is mind boggling. One would think people would reserve final judgement till its on the market but it seems to have be universally panned by enthusiasts...on a BMW board.
People do have opinions, right enough, but like I said its a whole new level of crazy forming an opinion on something you have yet to experience. Just my 2c
