Far, that's a complete copy. Has anyone seen pics of the new 7 series coming out? Unofficial pics of the 2008 model were in my latest motoring mag...
"While instantly identifiable as a BMW, it lacks the current model's visual distractions."
It's going to have DAM (Dynamic Air Suspension), HUD, Lane Departure Warning and Eye-Movement Monitor. Looks interesting, a lot slicker, the rear end doesn't look as good as the current facelifted version though.
Let Lexus take BMW's old style. Ahem.

BWW has always been the Benchmark that I have always been proud of. Those Japanese car designers are running out of ideas & they cannot afford the risk. People, who truely know cars, know only BMW can provide us with the feeling we need. Other than that, it is just the same as replacing HONDA's logo with a Roundel Badge --- Lying to him/herself that he/she is driving a "ultimate Similiar Looking Machine" or stick with the reality, which is they cannot afford a 7er.

Keep in mind the people that actually want big expensive Luxury cars, never take the Japanese into consideration--hell I dont think anybody should take them serious.

Sorry, but that's just wrong. Why do I see so many Lexuses on the road? Just because YOU don't look to the Japanese for a high end luxury car doesn't mean others don't. I probably see (from most common to least common): S-Class, Lexus LS, BMW 7, Jaguar XJ, Audi A8, Infiniti Q, VW Phaeton.
A true sport sedan or racing car is rear wheel drive, due to the weight distribution, which varies the stabilities, plus height of center of gravity of the whole car varies the potential risk of rolling over, whenever accidents happen. Look at how many years Toyota spent on searching rear wheel drive, reflects why resume is essential for job interviews.
Not much people out there know why engine located in certain part of a car and the height of engine placed; strength & weight of material used; how the car will behave and what will happen if all variables are different. This category of knowledge is called automobile engineering.
