2008 BMW 7-Series

MPowered · February 1st, 2007, 9:12 PM

Looks like it'll keep the Bangle butt. I've spent a good amount of time behind the wheel of a new MB S550. Goodness, what a car. This new 7-Series better be something special.

Hmm.... the looks finally growing into their skin?

|ntegr4L · February 1st, 2007, 10:01 PM

Much prettier the blue one than before! Are there any photos from the back?

Cheers. Still very bulky but much better looking I reckon.

Ianspeed · February 2nd, 2007, 1:40 AM

Wow, again I don't like the way they are going. It looks like a plus sized 3.

Bangle design was a good thing. I have come to love the looks of the 5. Half bangle cars are just nasty. Be bold BMW. Move the game along and watch the rest of the industry follow.

The last real 7-series, may it RIP

the 7 series from then on went from ugly to conservative but still unattractive and now to vague but decent looking

SoxXpupPeT · February 2nd, 2007, 5:41 AM

atleast from those shots it looks laot better then the current 7 series. the current ones just look so obesely fat. its horrible. but that looks much more like how it should of looked.

SL65 · February 2nd, 2007, 9:07 AM

Once they conquer the styling woes, I hope BMW designs an interior with some design flair and not have it so clinical and functional. Give it some style!!

un-dee · February 2nd, 2007, 4:25 PM

The photoshops look very nice. Bring it on.

Blayde · February 2nd, 2007, 4:30 PM

The rear looks Inifiniti-ish

Janus · February 2nd, 2007, 5:18 PM

I think at this stage I would definitely be heading to the MB showroom for a nice new S Class.

It looks like they have taken the old 7 series, which was never a stunner, and just tried to smooth it out a bit with some lines from the new 3 series coupe. A bit of a smoother ass and a couple of ridges in the bonnet.

un-dee · February 2nd, 2007, 6:48 PM

No thats what the photoshop guy did. What BMW did is pure speculation.

remember those guys who converted a 6series into some classic looking car? I wonder how much would it cost to get a new 7 series under this skin .

SoxXpupPeT · February 3rd, 2007, 9:16 AM

yeah i remember that. that was awhile ago tho. one could only hope they do that with the new 7 series. the one they came up with from the 6 series i thought looked amazing. just put suicide doors in the back and it would be cool.

Shawn · February 3rd, 2007, 9:39 AM

I agree with the E38... great design, so sleek.

This new one looks much better than the bloated piece of shit they have now. It's still not pretty and it has the anime-like rear lights like the new X5 but it's decent.

The newst BMW designs are too Japanese though. The new X5 looks totally Japanese, like a Mazda SUV.

The abyss walker · February 4th, 2007, 9:12 AM

hey, you have something against anime?!?

I think that the back slightly resembles AM..
I find the photochopped back strangely attractive..

Shawn · February 4th, 2007, 9:35 AM

Nah.
