***Spotted The New BMW 7-Series!!!***

[Sunny]

F01's strongest attribute is its proportions. It is the sleekest barge around.

 

[Merc1]

IMO proportions and sleek are not the same thing. A car can have goofy proportions or a goofy shape and still be sleek to some degree. This 7-Series is sleek for sure especially compared with the previous car, but there is something wrong with the front end in that picture foward of the A-pillar. Too long, like they've tried to put engine entirely behind the front axle line. The blocky upright front end couldn't be helped I guess with the new pedestrian regs.

The front wheels being so far forward -- it does give it an unusual (elongated) appearance -- but I have to say I think it looks superb -- I love it.

Front end and side profile from the A-pillar foward are a mess. Car looks unbalanced and ill-proportioned.

I think it's the raking lights and the vertical grill. It pulls the car in too many directions.

Thanks Christian!! Great photos and stunning spotting.

Went to our BMW dealer here, today and get one of the brochures of the new 7-series!! Awesome car.

Could be, not sure. As always I won't have a definite opinion until the dealer down the street has them on his lot or I see it up close at Detroit in January.

You must be the first person (and I guess the only one) in the world who has issues with the proportions of F01 / F02.

If anything really works absolutely perfectly on this car (and any other forthcoming new generation BMW designs), are the proportions.



Btw, as you said: it looks strange IN THAT PIC! I can take a pic of any car - making it looking goofy & unattractive.

black has never been a color which is suiting (flame surface) bmws, some lines just get lost if there are too many dark reflections. the tape probably makes those lines even harder to read.

Chris did you take a look inside?

I never left the car.

And on the way back I took the same route and the car was long gone.

 

[cawimmer430]

Thanks for the photographs Wimmer. What was your impression on the rear end.

Anytime.

The rear looks great to me. The lamp design is sporty and perfectly fitting for any BMW IMO.

Although I like the shape of the tail lights there is too much red? Did the absence of white graphics make the rear end look anonymous?

Trust me, these things look good on the car. See the car in real life and you'll be amazed, for sure.

Although I only got a quick glimpse at it, it looked very nice. Conservative, but at the same time very elegant and the low, sleek posture makes it look sporty too.

Attention Attention!

I don't like the attitudes here. Calm down and don't ruin Cawimmers thread with bullshit. And no personal attacks please.
Get back on-topic. Thanks!

Was the shape and proportions as good as the Lexus LS?

 

[Zafiro]

Thread cleaned from garbage. I said leave it alone and it continues?

Lets continue discussing Caw photos and try to avoid the word fanboy here.

^you wanna go ahead and clean the W212 thread aswell?

^you wanna go ahead and clean the W212 thread aswell?

Me? I rarely visit MB section. Sure there must be MB moderators around there to clean the threads. But the thread you speaking about, it cant be worse than this was. This thread was getting personal and rude.

 

[Sunny]

Why clean threads? I have no idea what expired here between yesterday and today or who said what but you should let the posts stand, it exposes people for what they are. If people resort to personal insults, suspend or ban people, not posts. Just my 2 cents.

I hear you but done is done! the alternative was to lock the thread.
But finally we can get back on topic again.

Ps I prefer highquality posts and I know the members are good at that. Hopefully this was just an exception.
