Is it just me or does it now look like a streatched out 3 series. Looks much better though. I have to see the back, I think that was the worst part on the current 7 series.

When is this face lifts supposed to kick in?

I don't know, it still looks ugly. Very much like a stretched out 3 series, coyotefreek.

The kidneys shouldn't trail off like they do, that's just as bad as the trailing lights on the new 5. And what about yellow turn signals? With them being white, it just looks like the front lights trail (and thats ugly!)

I also want to see a picture of the back.

That pic is definatly not of a 5 series. Here is a pic comparison of the 3.

In this 7 refresh you can see that they changed the grills, now there more shaply. The lower grill is also different. In the side by side comparison the new design just seems more adgile and not as chunky as the current 7.

From Left to Right: Current BMW 7, New 7, Current 5

Ahhh I see, the kidney grill on the new 7 looks similar to the new 5, that's what threw me. Yah as someone commented earlier, it looks a little more aggressive, just don't look at it's butt.. [;)]

honestly, i like the old design (of the new design) alot better. this facelift makes it look alot like an Infiniti I35 (not a bad car to look like, but it just looks bland)

The back of the new one looks better

i might be digging myself into a hole of craziness, but it seems like the old (new) 7 series was sad looking. the vents on the bottom seem to be kind of frowning, and the headlights are big and angled down. the new 7 series seems alot more upbeat, with a smile shaped intake and more cheerful headlights....


haha, im a wackjob

You see...they can't do a "midlife refeshening." The freakin' thing is butt uggggly. How do you 'evolve' from there?!?! [bash]

My heart goes out to Hooeydonk...if he can save us from there, he's a GOD. [hatchet]
