7 Series (F01) [Spy shots] F01 / F02 BMW 7er - Spy Pics & Info Part IV (first FEP pics incl.!!!)

Old story all over again.

Remember FEP prototypes of X6? Or even X5? Or even 3er coupe & cabrio (incl M3)? Do you?

A lot of people complained about the design ... but when the camo was removed, and people saw the cars in person a vast majority was blown away.

It's the same case with F01. Yet I'm bit sick & tired to advocate for this all over again. It's not pure propaganda but real facts.

Wait till the camo is removed.

Roof line? Yes, it's a typical BMW roof line- so are the door cutlines. Yet this time roof line (F01) is much more coupeish than on E65!


PS: check the pics from the shooting in Melbourne - where the side lines can be clearly seen (without tape), and you can see how sharp they are. The car is evolutionary but not as much as you think. Wait till the camo is completely gone. I promised you you won't be disappointed. The car is really instantly recognized as E65 successor yet featuring some very fresh design solutions. It's not just a "FL like redesign". And it was said this new generation would be all about refining the design, not bringing a new revolution. You can't revolutionized the design in every generation. BMW bets on every secend generation as revolutionary one - design wise.

^the way your talking it sounds like you allready seen the new 7er--
otherwise your talk would seem very stupid..
so given that you ( and probably only you on this forum) have seen it..
who are we to argue.. we must trust you until further..

Just for the record. I didn't really drool all over the 3er coupe and the X5. They are nice yet could've been much better. Still I hear allot of people complaining about the X5 being not much different that its predecessor. Thanks anyways. I ll be waiting for this car, just to see what it brings, but not anxiously as i used to be.

One more thing here, am not talking as a fan boy or something, but am talking as a potential buyer.
Regards.

Dissing or liking this car at this point is stupid. I wait for the uncovered product before I judge it.

The shark is back in BMW design if the side profile picture is any clue. I'm not going to get pumped or deflated until July when we're suppose to the new 7 for the first time. In hindsight I like the E38 better than the marketing tool referred to as the E65/66, so if this is suppose to be a contemporary follow-up to the E38 I'm elated.

I am with EnI, the car seems to be much more coupeish than the actual one. But EnI, there are some things quite strange in this FEP, compared with the shots toke in Melbourne. firts of all is the grille. The grille seems smaller and less wide, it´s more like the current model than CS. And then are the headlamps, how they will be?, cause i thought i knew how they would look like, but seeing this FEP iám a bit confused.

The grille looks smaller since chromed frame is missing! Also head-on shot will reveal the grille size much better than these pics. Wait for a few more days.

Headlights: an evolution of FL E65 headlights - yet more angular, narrower & aggressive. But the general shape is kind a similar - with a touch of X6.

Tail lights will remain typical L-shape.


CS design influence: mind that CS was a concept. A bit exaggerated features. But ... "new 8er" is coming ... With strong CS influence, and more dynamic & daring styling than 7er. Luxury sedan vs luxury GT / coupe. There has to be difference. And it will be.

i think it will look great. i am more worried about the interior, it seems like i am not too fond of bmw interiors of late except for the x5/x6.

Yeah but i think the final 8er will be a 2 dr coupe, if doesný i think it will be a mistake to create a car over the 7er, less prestige on 7er.

Respect the tail lights, thay seem to be an L like the X5, and X6, and the E 46, not an L like the current E65 FL or the 3er coupe, isn´t it?.

Look at this forum, go down to the "Pace car", the front seems very similar to FEP:

"New 8er" will be a 4-door GT, and will be BMW's new flagship. But it will be very different car than the 7er. Much more sporty-performance oriented. 7er = sporty luxury, 8er = luxurious sportiness. Different purpose, different buyers. Will it make the 7er inferior? Sure it will. That's all the point of introducing the new flagship. The new 8er will be the missing link between BMW & RR after all .

I said "L-shape".



"Pace-car" ... proportions are somewhat not right yet some cues are very good ... Yet the whole impression (appearence) looks much more like F10 5er - the sportiness. But let's finally admit it's close.

I think i understand now waht it will be the 8er, ultra expensive 4 door GT much more expensiva than the 7er and closer to RR than 7er.

YoUhimhER, i think the interior will be like the X5/X6 one, with the new iDrive, and the steering wheel close to the 6er/M5.

I would wait for the media presentation. It will part your fears once you see it in it's full elegance and at it's most dynamic.

Actually , I guarantee it...

 

[Sunny]

I like the sleek roof line, but not so sure about the front - but will reserve my judgment till the camo comes off.

 

[Ultimate Car Guy]

I'm concerned the car sits too high off the ground. Look at the wheel arches and notice the big gap between the edge of the tyre and the edge of the wheel arch- it's too big. E65 didn't have this problem.

 

[siko]

The car looks a little bulky... I don't know why but I was expecting something a litlle more sleek, coupe-ish perharps!

Then again, it's still very early.

 

[fortuner]

hi i no its not easy to judge the car from the camo and i wont give a final judgement from the pics we have seen till the official


ok eni is the real car near to hucks pics on page 2

if it is then i will be dissapointed.if its more cs then great

i own a s class and remember the 7 is going to be launched like 4years after the s so it has to be much better in terms off looks and technologies and stuff in my opinion


to me from the spy it looks very close to hucks pics

i hope its not

lets see .............

regarding the 8er u say it will be between a 7 and the rolls but arent rolls taking out a smaller car .or will their be a smaller rolls and a 8er thast going to be a lot off cars for the rich........
