It will be sportier and prettier than the current model!
Well done BMW! It will sell more than the S-class too!

April fools day came late this year! Even without the camo it won't be much prettier than the current 7 series. Didn't you learn a lesson, BMW?!

ROFLMAO!!!!! LOOK at the size of those grills! ffs!!!!!
Pathetic!!!soon enough they will be bigger than audi grills, which I ask myself if they can get any bigger.
But seriously, they are unproporcional with the rest of the front end.And what the hell is this front bumper?Looks like they only had a ruler to desing it.Im the biggest BMW fan on earth, but this is horrible.

LOL, the bumper does look very geometric, almost like a floppy drive! Those grills are just way too big as you said. Lets see what happens when they undisguise it.

Ok you guys, Ive figured out BMWs plan, to desgin the ugliest cars on the face of the earth *cough* E65/E66 and E63/E64*cough* with one feature on these ugly cars (the trunk lid) that other auto makers will copy (mercedes w221 Lexus LS460, ect...)then, bmw's new desgins will look better when compared to the previous models and compared to everyone else. Anyway, from what I can tell this looks better than the current 7 series, of course, its not tht hard to make it look better.

The high trunk-lid gives you cleaner airstream separation from the body at speed. This helps stabilize the turbulence behind the car which increases fuel economy. Thats why it's spread like hotfire through vehicle design departments.

Yeah. At last! As expected it's going to be a top winner in its class. True, that disguised front end looks like some kitchen appliance (fries slicer?), but these folks know what they're doing, and I know the final result won't disappoint me. Ideally, they should lower it a cpl of cms., but this very well could be a 4WD version aimed at the competition (S 4Matic, A8 Quattro, LS600...)

the side view is a little blunt looking. no sculpting just like the front where it seems that all attention is drawn to the grill. I like that it is almost a negative sloping grill. the onluy other car would be the awesome mean looking front of the new mitsu lancer evo.
I am sure that painted in the right colour its stunningly elegant compared to the actual s class with its aftermarket stuck on fender looks..

I like big 7, good cars (I prefer 750), but it will never be so good as S class. And this one too, nothing special in terms of design.

looks much much much better than the current 7 series ? but not as good as a maserati quattroporte which is already a few years on the market. i know, the quattroporte isn't really comparable with the bmw, but it's also a luxury car.

I see no innovation in design; at least the Japanese know how to make cars look interesting. This looks very similar to the current seven except for a higher greenhouse line and a more poised stance. Sure it will be a pretty car with new lights, etc.. but there is nothing really to distinguish this car drastically from many of the other cars you see on the road today

I see good things... A better boot-lid, nice shoulder crease, more sinister-looking headlights, sporting exhause detail...all nice. I, too, belive the twin-kidneys are a bit too large, perhaps to try to disguise the height of the bonnet required by Euro pedestrian safety standards. Perhpas it won't look too bad if they do something better with the very large lower opening. Gad - it looks like a mouth-breather.

this one is gonna be great. the renders that arose a while ago looked awesome n hope it sticks to tat. the large grille and the cs theme are the new direction for bmw. bring em on

If this current 7 is so ugly and iDrive hideous, why is it the most successful one to date??? They got something right.

dissappointed with bmw, i thought they would have made something a bit more special after all the critiscm of the flame surfacing design direction, the current s class is very sporty while being commanding and powerfull this new 7 looks fat like the current gen.
boring

The 7 series has always been a beautiful car but currently it has NO chance against the S-Class in terms of design. There is no way that a BMW 7 can stand out more than a S-Class!
