The car definitely looks much better without that God-aweful "Bangle Butt" design. Loads of new technology, possibly borrowed from Volvo (lane changer warning, collision warning), but definitely a nicer car. I am starting to save up my shillings!

I trully think that Bangle is a great designer . Look at the X6 . Very beautiful and sexy car . Bangle gives BMW that sporty looks , and gives you the feeling of a young car . To put it in another way . If Mercedes would have a Chris Bangle they would sell more cars

I actually think it is a good looking car... a definite improvement over the previous version. The new technology is amazing but at the same time, the idea of maintenance and repairs on this stuff after 5-10 years is frightening. This technology is great but it's making cars so complex. I'd still buy one though.

Oh come on Joe, I know you can't turn down an AMG. I am not too big a fan of MB, but the AMG is a force even I bow down to.

Oh your plenty right, I would never turn down a AMG, I would just sell it and get something sporty.

@ Joe: like an M3? You know, the one criticised for not being sporty enough...

I like the looks of the M3, in my opinion I think it looks quite sporty, kind of like a pitbull kind of sporty.

I'm a long time die-hard BMW fan and all I have to say about this one is what were they thinking? I mean..it has some great features but the styling lacks the BMW quality that made the company what it is today.

You can thank Chris Bangle-Butt for that, and that Japanese (Takeguchi or whatever) guy that designed the horrid 3 series saloons. The 3 series coupes look beautiful, but the saloons are completely horrible. If BMW gets rid of those two and brings back the German blood into their design team, watch BMW take off again. I am just waiting and hoping for the day that happens. At least the 1 series are a start in the right direction.

I replied too quickly. This 7 series definitely looks a lot better than the one with the bangle-butt design.

personally I like the 3 series better than this. Even without all these technologies.

Saw a lightly disguised 7 the other day and it looked very nice.

Thank goodness the Bangle butt has gone from the new 7 ... that feature looked equally butt ugly on the 7-6-5 series ... that said, IMHO this new 7 suffers from an overtly "heavy" appearance and particularly the front with the over sized double kidney openings ... the high tech "toys" are great until they require maintenance.

Bangle's BMW designs are inspirational... As I rightly pointed out in 2002 when inspecting a new E65 7-Series sitting forlornly (orphan-like)on the showroom floor amongst a sea of older generation BMW models at the dealership, all this car needed was similarly "Bangle-inspired" 3,5,6 & Z models to make "design sense". Since then it has happened! The new 7-Series is an evolution of that E65 7. In other words, it is still "Bangle". God Bless him!! Isaacu

"Flame design" is Bangle. Be inspired! Isaacu

nice to know the critics have all nicked off. =) if they make an M version of this car (even if its labelled 760LiS or something) it'll be insane..
