THE NEW (2009) BMW 7 SERIES UNVEILED. - a set on Flickr

Leaked photos?

Damn, damn, damn!

Man, all my doubts have gone, this looks abso-f'n-lutely beautiful!!!

More and high res pics please, especially of the front, but this looks sick!!!

good lord, evolution my ass, this is a true successor of the current 7 series that will rock the segment once again

It looks great.

They have really toned it down .....it even has shades of Audi.

Well what can I say it's spot on!! It looks awesome. It looks great, it looks sleek it looks sporty again. What a great job thay did with this car... Please BMW if any of you read this you are heading the right way

Now, show it in black with some nice 20", black leather and alu trim inside and voila!

The profile is particularly elegant -- it is definately the most beautiful in its class. The A8 is no longer the best looking.

Correct! And now we have to see it next to S class...

Goooooooooooorgeous!Really want to have this engineering masterpiece!!!The new 7er would fit very well along my S-Klasse!

Got to get my name written on the ordering list!

And what do you guys say about tail lights? I was suspicious, but now - it's a bingo!

it's gonna look great at night

They have completely abandoned the clamshell boot lid. The lines run horizontally which gives this car a very sleek and sophisticated appearance ....god I wish Mercedes would do the same.

The rear lights and the way the bumper is formed is following similar ideas to what is seen on the Mercedes C.

It's bingo indeed , it look sgreat perfectly integrated into the car's rear end. Look at it, just look how nice it is, also with the LED's:

I'm just seeing it now, but look at the pic above, it seems like the red 'bars' in the rear light are flowing down from that side line that goes from teh back to the front, just

I must say:

True, and what's also great andmakes the car look soooo sporty yet elegant is the very short front overhang...

I have to be honest and say the rear lights are not doing it for me ...they seem slightly out of character with the rest of the vehicle -- they are not ugly though.

OMG

ok, stop right there, first audi influences, now this with a hint of C class. It has not completely been abandoned. From the side profile, the clamshell looks still there. It"s just more integrated in the rear.

The high belt line and relatively small greenhouse is more reminiscent of Audi than BMW.

^^ the clam shell has gone RFB

no, a high beltline and small greenhouse is more reminescent of a coupé, period.

Looks better than the E65 and the tail lights are pleasing to look at. The back row looks impressively comfortable and I love the built in handle in the wood panel on the door. Overall shape is gorgeous as well.

On the down side the front end doesn't look at new as the rear and neither does it look as gracious, it's a bit weak in character and flair compared with cars like the X6. The same applies to the center console in the interior which is a tad to similar to the the rest of the line up. So far the car is alright but I expected it to be more striking. It's not an ugly car but neither is it a full home run, and that's mostly because of the front end.

EVERYTHING on thing car looks fantastic

The interior is particularly stunning

I CAN'T wait for more!!!!

I say let's wait for more pics, especially bigger ones...
