Eh, had an S6, and really dislike how nose heavy Audi's are. Most people with expensive vehicles, outside of super cars, don't really want flashy. I don't consider a RR flashy, more of a classic look. I am sure they will sell, as said I am reserving final judgement for full reveal, but I am not a fan of this split headlight/huge grill look BMW is putting on the flagships.

that was my thought as well. I personally don't think the glow on the MB looks good at all in person, it seems a little too fast and furious for me. Maybe this thin outline will look good, ill save thoughts till I see it in person.

What does “locally emission-free” mean?
The car doesn't produce any emissions, but the production of it does. It's lawyer speak: if they say zero-emission vehicle, people could claim that to be false as the production process is not zero-emissions.

Agree. I am excited to see the electric variant and the interior which looks to be nice, but I just can't do the front end of the 7er. I prefer the stately and understated looks of my S-Class.

I love what I see!

I own an actual 7 hybrid. So I'm a potential buyer…

I tested the new S-Class and its not as good as my 7!

The i7 could be my next one!

What's up with the trend of squinty headlights? They're like three thinner than they should be

I don't think it's bad, but would've looked more futuristic and modern if the shape of the grill (not the size) was more geometric like the XM concept.

Glad to finally see the design coming out. Just wait when you see the profile view, it looks great. Makes current model look really dated though.

Distinctive, well that's putting it mildly!

Time will tell if this new design that they are adopting across the bulk of their fleet continues to sell or not.

The 7 is not the car for me anyway but this is not for me based upon styling alone. I know many will like it, fair enough , no one is making you buy the car.

Looks like the new g60 5 series is looking like it will remain conservative ( more to my liking)

Why does an electric car need any grills, let alone these things. I get something small to hide camera and sensors in but this?

Russians can't even buy it anymore

Good grief! Why can't they make a great looking vehicle like the current S class. They try wayyyy to hard and it doesn't come together cohesively.

X5 has proportionally correct grill IMO.
This is way too big and made worse by the slit headlights.
I never understood the trend to slit headlights. Doesn't make the car meaner and with the humongous grill, it's just not proportional.

Of course. Fangirls hate to admit it, but BMW has followed in Mercedes' footsteps year after year
There are countless examples, not just an illuminating grille

I'd buy this. In a world where everything is getting smaller, I for one am glad BMWs are getting larger. The 4 series coupe has gotten so big it feels like my old M6 inside, and my X5 looks huge compared to the older X5. With the 7 I'd prefer having more space in the front than the enormous backseat though, as I don't have a chauffeur. Somehow my 4 has more driver legroom than my last 7 did.
