It's a 740. Why would someone in MD purchase a RWD? They'll probably have a hard time selling it or will just trade it with a Southern dealer.

Sales tactic. Get a "rare" spec early to sell to early adopters/enthusiasts. There's always a handful BMW owners that jump on new generations.

God is a sucker. The guy from BMW that deigned this would've done a far better job with the universe. +1 Love the "slab" look from the side. Out of curiosity, would anybody actually buy this, or are these just leased as tax-write machines? Genuinely curios. Not too knowledgeable on write-offs. |

Demented looking face. Bland side. Rear looks like some SUV
But lovely interior

All bmw enthusiasts were talking crap about the LCI 2023 X7 as well. Yet, when the car actually came out, all of a sudden everyone is in love with the split headlights and say how great it looks in person. I personally like the new design and can't wait for my ordered car to get here.

The front will grow on everyone. The back is fine. The interior is great. But it has the side profile of something American, I think. Almost like a muscle car or something. That's not what I want when I think German luxury sedan.
I'm sure it will sell like hotcakes and I know it will grow on everyone. It just doesn't have any exterior elegance. I think a 6 figure, full size luxury sedan should have some elegance to how it flows.

I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree on the F01. The F01 was a great looking 7er, especially the LCI. The E65 even in its improved LCI form still has some design quirks, and will always look chunkier to me due to its lack of harder creases and body-lines (similar to the new cars). The F01 7er and F10 5er may not be the best driving Bimmers, but they were very good looking cars in my opinion sans the hood-line. Just very elegant and stately, something the new cars just lack. In my opinion, I don't think flagship cars should be incredibly shouty and in your face. While I get that there's the idea that you want to be seen, I think the full-size class should be all about opulence and elegance. I want a timeless design over something that is very here and now and in your face. ![]() ![]() One thing that has really bugged me in person about the new 7er was the grill over and underbite. These bits that stick out remind me of teeth, like when a horse opens up its mouth.

![]() Good lord what has BMW come to. That front end is hideous. BMW needs to fire the entire design team (or at least the front end division) and start over. |

I think the G11 is a really good looking 7. Versatile between sport and luxury trims. Great ride. I think it's the boxy element that I don't like about this new 7. The G11 and G30 are "long and flat" looking in a way that I really like. The boxy part is the turn off for me. But I know a lot will like it and I'm not in the market for one right now, so I'm not the target anyway!

The rear has always looked like shit in all colors. Looks like a Ford Taurus.
