After going back and worth, I find myself in full agreement. This car needs a more conservative color scheme. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Someone will be a fan.

My M70 is coming home from the shop tomorrow in a much more subdued color of satin blue. I’ll post pics when it’s home. I thought about going brighter, but it just didn’t seem to fit the body and size when we put up a test patch on it.

Somebody ordered this. I hope they like it and are prepared to drive it for many years because when the time comes to sell it, there will probably be few takers.

Not for me but I’m still amazed after 2 years of the 7 being out, people still feel the need to say how much they hate the style and how ugly it is. If I hated a car so much, I wouldn’t be on that specific forum ever. Let alone still bashing a car that the majority of the readers of this particular G70 forum own. Weird.

I’m only here because I happened to click on the leading article when I launched the app. I guess this article is posted on the homepage to get clicks and views, and comments.

To each their own, to me the paint job looks like one you’d see on an old Impala that’s on its fourth or fifth owner, and that owner wanted to ‘dress’ the car up a bit. Again, just my perspective, I’m not seeing any real elegance with this paint combination.

Not a great color combo IMO, but to each his own. I love the G70, it's the E65 all over again. It's a great car but it is VERY trim and color sensitive.

Dark burgundy with black two tone looked amazing in real life.

In my opinion, the 7 Series looks much better with chrome and without the M Package

Color is definitely unique & stands out if that’s what one wants..
Current BMW front ends… just don’t look nice to me, overstyled/overdesigned..

I agree. It’s atrocious!

I guess 2 tones is common for these types of car. Getting Maybach vibes

Like two tone cars but I am not sure this colour combination elevates it.

Unless this car is ALL BLACK, it looks worse than the Cybertruck. What a shame.

Beautiful color…for a SPORTS car, NOT for a luxury sedan, but, to each his own!
I wouldn’t buy a 7 Series in that color.
