Good lord, first the beaver 4-series and now a walrus 7?

I never thought my first two BMWs would be my last two, but that’s where things are heading.

No no no. this isn’t right. Can an admin block BMW from doing this ?

Noticed later it’s an illustration and not the official reveal. Still, I’m expecting the worst.

How do you delete someone else’s post? LMAO, for real though. Wow, BMW 850 CSI vibes?

My guess based on the current 4… this image is flattering.

Wow. I find it harder and harder to believe that this is the same company that once created the E38. That era seems more and more like a lucky fluke, in retrospect.

The safest place to be is inside the new BMW 7 series. That way you are spared from the horror of how ugly it looks from the outside.

Not nearly as macho-aggressive as the flared snouts on the 4 and M3.

They’re sparking a conversation about BMW with those grills, they will change them back within a year or 2. The grills are worse than audi and the q8 has the worst grill in the auto industry

I saw this posted on another website, and I thought I’d share it here. Does anyone find this trim attractive??? I think it looks absolutely horrific…

I haven’t seen a new one in person, but they are hideous in photos (especially on the build tool, and it doesn’t matter what color[s] you choose).

I still love my 2019. Temptation to replace it with one of those from the Storm Trooper fleet is nonexistent.

It’s hideous in every trim.

People old enough to remember the introduction of the E39 and then the E60, just to cite two examples, will chuckle at all the hand-wringing over those changes.

drove this for 3 months last year courtesy of fellow LHs… lovely car. Picked it up in TX and drove it back to Miami after a night out at E11. Car basically drove itself. Have an i7 on order, we’ll see whether I take delivery or not.

Yup. We have another thread here somewhere on the 7 series. I found that exact configuration and posted it with the same disbelief.

Nah, I thought the transition for those 2 cars was pretty… jarring.

I thought the E39 was one of the most elegant sedan designs, like, ever. The E60 was not as shocking as the 7-Series from that generation, but the weird headlight “eyebrows” were pretty offensive to me. And the whole iDrive screen “bump” (also very inelegant).

While the new 7-Series is pretty wild (and not in a good way), nothing will ever be as shocking (in terms of relatively recent automotive design) as that first Bangle’d 7-Series. And not just b/c of the butt. The whole thing was… bad. Although Bangle (or was it van Hooydonk?) was correct when he said that the BMW design language really had nowhere to evolve to (which is why I think we’re seeing these shocking design shifts)…

It is better in black, but still ugly, the rear quarter looks like a Buick and it could really use some much bigger rims.

You drove one of the new ones for 3 months?
