OK, a bit disappointing. The front bumper with that fold and it's got this "really wide mouth" looks so old fashioned... and the headlights are so bland.

Overall design from the front doesnt look very differnent from the last. The huge grills does not enhance the style at all, if anything, it makes the car look retarded. From what we've seen from merc with the S-Class, I was really expecting something else from BMW, I guess thats the reason Im so dissapointed with this design. From far the back does look abit like the Lexus LS, but apon close inspection it does look Korean. The over all body of the car still looks boxy & boring, wanted it to be abit more sleek, its like they took the old version & just modified the front & the back. The interior is quite stunning, but not a fan of the black steering wheel, I hope its leather coverd & not that crappy plastic we get in all the other models. They should understand that this is the flag ship model & they should try & do more with the design.

The headlights have not really changed from the current revised version. Nothing really contreversial here, just clean design.

the front is more 5-series look-a-like, rather than the CS, I need to get used to the rear, because the lights appear to be a bit too big. The side profile reminds me of Quattroporte, and looks very nice. Interior is as seen on the spypics before, so no any suprise, a huge improvement over the E66, but not very shocking. The car is rather toned down, not very different from the outgoing model at the first sight, yet less bloated. If think people expected something more exciting for a 2009 top-of-the-range BMW, more CS looking, but I guess BMW didn't wanted to get the same story as with the E65 in 2001. Personally I like it more and more as I see those pictures, I can't wait to see it in person.

the 7 series is so important, I just can't understand why they can not design a very good looking one, like the E38 and E32. It really is a bit disappointing. Only from the side does it look good. its a shame that they didn't manage to amaze. this was very important, in my opinion, and it is not what I expected.
Design isn't everything, and I am sure that in every other aspect the car is great, but I believe design really is very important.

looks much better than the current (facelifted) one. i agree with all they admit, that this car is not a giant leap forward. but it looks solid and that matters in this class. and it looks good in reality.

it looks exactly the same as lexus LS460 from the back ,how didn't they notice this.

That's exactly what sprang into my mind as soon as I looked at the back of the vehicle, which isn't to say it's ugly. It's just solid and classic.

that looks lika a old one after facelifting.. i dont like it, these lights on back, what it is?? Who create that ugly car?? Maybe this is just a chinese copy??

Take the backlights from the c5 turn it around and you will get the backlights of new 7. No revolution or evolution, excepting interior design - very nice and no camel back (navigation screen) anymore. But exterior loks too plump, fat, no real bmw style That's not a new era, bmw what bmw told the public.

Solid as always, maybe a bit too shy of changing, as some already remarked.
I do think though that the rear lights have stuff in common with those on the good old Lexus SC...

Wanna correct. Only with the signals on. And only because of the signals. lol

The back is Lexus carbon copy bar the lights. The front 5 series which makesit the oldest front design of the lot. The cabin Lexus copy (back seat area. In conclusion 'i pray' that the real thing doesn't look like this toad they have shown. I feel like changing camp.

Who most deserves to be fired - Chris Bangle or Max Mosley? They both must go, but Bangle needs to fired and put into solitary designer confinement. He is a one trick pony with an really worn out trick that the majority of people never liked.

Agree. Do you know how much was Bangle involved to design this car? His trace is palpable as much as the sliding back to the previous, PreBangle, design.

Hideous! Absolutely hideous! The back looks like Lexus LS460, especially the exhausts. Disappointing!
Anyway, I believe this is the source:

i really wanted it to be a hit in terms of stle and design. but we knew from the spyshots of heavyily disguised versions showing a tame looking car. this confirms it and seals the deal. jag, merc and lexus will be happy. it aint gonna be a big seller i dont think. the rear lights are strange citroen creations, the front looks weak and not a thing of beauty and the interior will date like yesterday's news. it may be a technical tour de force, but style wise? it plays catch up.....with itself.

In the end it's a good looking car, but i would liked more if the front ligth's would look more similar to the concept CS! But with time, we will like more and more...
