Not a fan… but I am not a 7-Series buyer and I never will be UNLESS it is a sporty shorty E38.

Edit: In typical BMW fashion the designers got lazy and/or gave up once they got to the rear end.

Designed to get four golf bags in the trunk?

It's a big improvement over the G11/12 7er.

Oh yay. Another styling disaster of oversized kidney grilles, squinty eyes and angry robo face.

Makes me regret selling my 1995 740i.... except it had about as many miles on then as I do on my 2001 740iL now.

I will probably replace the iL with another E38 or E39. Not sure.
But I am sure is will not be any 7-series post E38.

I am so glad that I have zero interest in BMW's since it saves me money


....Actually the m2 does hold a bit of interest

WTF? Seriously...

Anyone that thinks this looks good needs to see an ophthalmologist ASAP! FYI, this is the identical front end styling on the LCI X7.

The front end actually looks unfinished. Like there are body pieces missing.
