I owned a B7 RS4 for like 6 years and 100k miles. Loved it, and barely could bring myself to selling it.
It was also the car with the most issues I every had with any of my vehicles. As much as I loved it, I swore it was my last Audi ever. I traded it in for a 2012 750. And I'm on my 3rd 7 series, M760Li now. And I think I will get another one some time again.

The V12 is really cool, but I'd likely just get an S63. Just not a fan of the current 7er and A8.

Why don't they know that 7 grill is way too big? Looks like Clifford. The previous model looked awesome and I frequently mistake it for a 5 series, looks sleek and smaller than it is, which is what you want for a large, sporty sedan. This big nose does the opposite.

I have the new X5, biggest one yet, but somehow doesn't look nor feel that way to me (until you park next to an F15 or E70..). Seems the same, has the same presence on the road, even though it's bigger. So again, a good thing as far as I'm concerned. Sorry, this is all off-topic. Just my reaction to the image of that big nose on the red 7..... |

These vehicles have gotten so bloated...they look like river barges driving down the road. To each their own...I'm shocked at the price of that M760...I can't justify it...especially with the way it looks. For once in my life I think I actually like the S class more than the two of these.

S-class looks the best still. The F01 looked nice but the last 7er that really caught my eye was the LCI E65. That was was low, wide, and sleek.

BMW just played it too safe with the G11 and then overcorrected their mistakes with the LCI without putting in more effort outside of the grill. Audi is just bland to me, and the black plastic and touchscreen interior is an OCD person's nightmare, which is why I could never live with a modern Audi interior.

For exactly those reasons I got an Alpina B7. One of the best cars I have ever owned and it is so much better than the M760i. Lighter, more dynamic, more comfortable ride yet incredibly fast and nimble when you want it to be. The Audi has become better looking over the generations and is a nice car but still has other issues like resale, terrible lease rates, mediocre service to name a few.

Also, the Audi grill is completely different. Don't think the comparison is all that valid, it's not about the size of the grill in a vacuum, just the overall look. Now, if BMW took your suggestion and at the same time sloped the whole hood down more like (I think) the previous model was, then that could definitely make a difference, perhaps. But I think I'd still prefer the previous one. |

S-Class still looks the best of the bunch.

BMW's G chassis vehicles are very strong products and among the top in their respective segments, but they played it way too safe with the 7-series, inside and out.

I checked out a S8 at the dealer and I was surprised to find the build quality of the interior wasn't that great. Lots of hard plastics. I'd take the 7 over the Audi any day.

This is happening all over Audi- thanks to Dieselgate. VW has cut costs everywhere they could- interior finish has taken a hit. I wasn't too impressed with the new Q7/A6/A8s either.

F*** all that! I'm a diehard Car Guy and I've owned and appreciate many cars! The current LCI 2020 7 SERIES is fantastic and finally has the presence that the F01 ushered in.
