It's looking so much better externally. But I really can't get over that interior. It's a glamorized 3-series and SO fussy!

Funny, I don't like the light coloured car at all but the dark one is actually quite good looking thing. It's like a leopard. A lady leopard. And mysterious.

This car definitely looks way better in dark colours!! Black, dark grey - maybe a dark green!!

Oh,man..Seeing the pictures of new 7er have left confused feeling about design on me..but after I saw video Just_me posted..Well,I´m in love..

[M.Toni]

Finally BMW went with some other color of the dials than that 80's orange it has in all other models.

The interior quality certainly appears to be exemplary ...I wonder if it tops the S class?

[EMpower]

Like what I see.

Thank God they have done away with that dreadful loose-fitting leather on the doors etc.

[Giannis]

It grey it looks absolutely fantastic!
The rear lights are really growing on me, and i see the point of the whole design. BMW has done a great job. At first glimpse you say WT-F is this, but if you look it again, a few more times, then you see the whole beauty. I am completely sold out now..

[vedjo01]

Dark interior trim rocks..nuff said
..and engine bay looks like it could house 16 cylinder engine with no problem at all..

[Sunny]

Love how sporty the interior looks - more long the A8 lines than the E65. Hopefully the driver oriented dash is here to stay.

[The Artist]

^black wood is the shit now days..
love it in any car..

[Merc1]

Gotta see this one in person. Those close up shots make it look goofy and ill-proportioned as hell. The rear looks pretty good, but the big nostrils up from look at mess at this point.

Seeing the video just makes me more angry at what a backpedaling mess they've made of this car's hinduqarters. It demonstrates why the original Bangle butt of the E65 was a great idea - from the rear 3/4 the car has hints of the Toyota Avalon and, more directly, the Lexus LS.

From the direct rear, the car looks somewhat busy, but very good. However, it doesn't connect with the rest of the car, which has a very Quattroporte-like "quiet agression" about it. But the rear just look barge-like.

Hooydonk was right all along, and it's a shame the F01 looks so damn heavy in the back.

Interior is well-detailed but is fully infused with Audi DNA. Wasn't this car's interior directed by an Ex-Audi designer? In any case, the spacioius atmosphere has been traded-in for something that, while admittedly attractive, isn't very distinctive.

Again I agree with all your points Osna.

The rear is a mess and the interior looks run of the mill in terms of design.

I think I can say now from looking at the pics long enough, especially the high res ones that I'm really really feel'n the looks of the F01/2.

ahh, I think they might have changed that when the 7er got its facelift.


If you look at the leather on the pre-facelift models, it is loose -- like on the old S class ...and the Maybach 57/62. I have never liked this look, I much prefer a very 'tailored' look in a car interior,
