Check on WorldCarFans.com and saw the new 7 series featured there. I honestly have to say that I think I prefer the looks of the first one to this one. Maybe it's just because I got used to the other, but this one looks weird to me for some reason. It has some new stuff, here's a quick list:

- All-new V8 engine
- Improved performance
- Refinement of the outstanding chassis and suspension
- Refinement in design
- New equipment and features

Anyways, here are some pics of it as well as the link to the article:

Its an improvement, but still ugly.

Yes indeed , the uglyness was toned down a little , but I would still get a S-Class anyday . And wtf is up with those rims ?

WTF is up with those rims and back?!

i think it has regained its subtleness back to a large extent. I like it

The ass is still horrible though. It looks like you're seeing it through a magnifying glass.

It looks like they've gone a step backward towards the last designs. This is what I would have expected to lead on from the previous wave of BMW designs.

It looks chop-esque.

And what's with this "new V8" stuff? BMW just developed the 4.4 Valvetronic a few years ago, it's not like it's really READY to be replaced.

As far as I know the new V8 is for the 750i(iL). If you read the article at the very beginning they say that's it's a 4.8l V8 putting out 360hp and 360lb-ft. And it does the 0-60 in 5.8s...

EWWW! it's fucking worse!

and they made it look cheap! looks like a stretched 3 Series!

i agree with renesis. I actually didnt have much against the late model 7, i kind of liked how distinctly it was among its other numbered brethren. This looks more economy than a 7 should. I especially dont like what theyve done to the back, at a quick glance it almost looks like someone left the trunk popped.

MY GOD ITS SOOOOO MUCH WORSE!!!!!!!

it looks so tame and tame = lame.......cuz it rhymes

i liked the previous styling

I'm not liking it at all

I've been looking through some pictures of it, and although I don't care for this newer one as much, I think that it looks alright in this picture actually. And I also hate those rims on the 750i in the pics above.

they didn't fix the one thing that desperately needed fixing: that damned trunk still looks like a fucking tumor

100% better, but still crap

now it just looks like a Volvo

THEY SPIED IT GOOD.

This was released weeks ago Paulie

These pics are two weeks old to boot.

Regardless, I don't think the topic / pics were posted on DS before.

I think the rear-end looks so much better now. It no longer looks awkward.
Love those rims too.

i think it looks wayy better than the current model. I think BMW is getting back on the right track or atleast trying to

I noticed that one of the images shows some brightwork running horizontally on the trunklid area. Then there is another pic where it is blacked out. Personally, I think it looks better with the bright trim.

Here's the back end of the previous model (for comparison purposes):

I don't think it's improved at all...instead of removing the ugly, or adding beauty, they resculpted the ugly...if that makes sense.

They just took something ugly and made it different, but ugly.

I still think it is a rolling abortion of style...

looks better than the old one. the black one looks better than the blue one.

I think its just a different ugly apart from an older ugly

Yeah I posted on this back in january:

Incredible, 10 posts in a repost thread and no one have used teh emoticon. That gotta be some kinda record..


!!


Anyways, the restyled 7 looks better, not good, but better.

I will merge the 2 threads. Seems to look better in these new pics for some reason.

My friends dad has a new 740i, i like it, you get used to the looks of it.

the previous one is hideous in real life

Bangle'ed BMWs can't get any uglier... someone kill Bangle....

The only one I like is the 5-series and the M5. I hate the rest of his work. They're just ugly. So ugly. Oh, and the Z car. I like that.

the m5 is ok but the old m5 looks way better

too bad the 5 series and the 6 series look divine in person

The front of the new 7 doesn't look to bad, but I didn't hate the old one, either. The new back looks really bad, really really really bad.
