^That grille doesn't do it for me.

That looks like a S-class on steroids - not my cup of tea

 

[Centurion]

Naah. Not feeling it in silver. Needs to be grey or black with some bits dechromed.

Back lights remain the worst part of this car. Sad and droopy looking things. The rest is 10/10

 

[Serpens]

I must have one. I love the S63's look in its entirety.

Dunno - that's what I thought when it first came out, but now it works for my eyes. Gives it a sleeker appearance from 3/4 view on the road.

Look better than seen on press release pics.. but still not acceptable, they should have retained regular grille on S-Class

It's not horrible, but it looks like someone pinched the top of it nose. The S needs a strong upright grill for good stature.

When does the press get to drive it?

The 7 series number doesn't tally with the numbers you posted from Jato in the sales thread.

Most probably here the i7 is not counted, while in the Jato list it must be for all versions of the 7er.

Jato list them separately, 229 & 173. The only way the above figure makes sense is if they ignore the i7 here, and BMW is still selling off some of the G1x 7-Series which are counted in the Jato 7-er numbers (hence the 'new' wording above). Or, if the two sets of numbers are not including the same territories. (i.e. EU27 + UK vs EU27)

This kind of stuff is why I'm critical of the "car industry analysis" account.

Am also waiting to get a call

I got the photo from jato's instagram account. yes, the numbers do not match, a mistake was made.

Wow that baby blue looks absolutely perfect with the blackened trim pieces. Stunning S-class

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Vintage Blue Manufaktur paint. Great colour which we used to see quite often on the W116 and W126 series.

Horrible aftermarket looking front.

Critical would be an understatement, this man is a complete fraud.

Call me crazy, but this is my favourite modern S-Class. I like it more than the W222. To me it is everything a big saloon should be. It has the same athletic stance as the W126, W220 and even the best 7ers (E32 and E38).
