2023 BMW 7-Series: Bold Looks, EV Power & Everything Else We Know About The G70

WTF? This makes the Bangle E65/E66 7-Series look halfways decent.

"thunderbirds are go" however, this car is not

I think you guys are glossing over how bad the E65 was.

Agreed - But as bad as it was, we are kinda used to it.
This version - we are not used to, so that makes it that much worse (as such).

Both are just ugly... and .... ugh...

Looks like the mutant child of a RR and a BMW. BMW seems to be in a competition with themselves to see how ugly they can make their cars. Just when you think they can't outdo themselves....

It probably says something that when I first read the headline I thought it said "flaws" and not "flags".

I can't even remember the last time I saw an E65. It's been years.

Apparently only the v12 ones survived cause the V8s were so bad.
