get back in your hole matt!

side on it looks tough...and sounds tough....

from the rear tho

[Owgasm]

6 series is the best look

Love the rear and front

The new 7 Series looks better than the old one.

Its not beautiful, or even particularly purposeful, but its relative blandness is far better than the taxi ad of the old car.

Yep the FTO definately looks like Mal Meninga took took one angry kick at the Ass end of it...shocking looking things they are

the 750i is perhaps the nicest interior and ride quality ive been in - its nicer to be in than a roller Phantom, Maybach or any other limos. sure it doesnt look the best, but who cares - these cars arent meant for you to drive, ur meant to be driven in them. and yes i agree it looks better than the old one.

That actually looks ok from the back, but the front looks fking weird IMO. I reckon the grille area is way too big.

Now this is a fked up rear end

[flyingfridge]

i'll bet it looks awesome in the metal, photos never do recent BMWs justice.

[sh@un]

that's a BIG improvement on the previous 7-series rear with it's 'taxi advertising space' bootlid

i'll still never buy one though...o.k- maybe in about 20 years at auction when it's worth $1700

But that's just it. If your reason for buying the car is for how it feels when you're behind the wheel carving up your favourite road, then who cares if it looks like a smashed crab?

However, if the point is that you want a car to make an entrance as a status symbol, then the car should look good.

Its one reason why I much prefer the Rolls Royce Phantom to the Maybach. The former looks like a Roller, and has presence and heritage. The latter looks like the cross-eyed designer from Morgan designed the front end of an S Class.

Ignoring the cost of petrol needed to run a 2 ton V8/V12 in 20 years, the cost of servicing this car with all its electronic gizmos is going to make servicing it more expensive than buying it

^^^ add to the list the 7 series has the worst re-sale value of any comparable car.

Wait 10yrs you'll get one for 12k
