Next gen. 7-series?



http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/r...-bmw-7-series/

"We don't know if the shot you see above is an official picture of the new F01 BMW 7 Series or not, but it looks to be a pretty accurate rendition of what we've seen so far in spy shots."

Not exactly groundbreaking. I guess the board has tamed Mr. Bangle quite a bit.

Re: BMW 7series photo leaked?

Yuck I hope not. I'm not a fan of the current 7 series design, but the car in that pic is just nasty.

I love the current 7 but that pic is pretty bad. It's also obviously a PS job.

I think it's photoshopped as well, and I tell ya, this is ugly.

Re: Next gen. 7-series?

It's most likely a fake, photoshopped image. I don't like it either. It's disgusting.

Re: Next gen. 7-series?

That's got to be a Photochop. I don't think it looks too bad, though. A calmed-down version of the current 7-Series. I like the current version as well..

Re: Next gen. 7-series?

I think that this is a rather poor photoshop, if you compare this to the current 7-series, you can see very few changes, they even use the same headlights.

Re: Next gen. 7-series?



Here, Autoblog just posted this Pre Production Interior shot, The gaps are acceptable we decided because its still being tested, it looks very similar just the new BMW shifter from the 5 and X5 is back where it belongs, not like the previous Gen or the Merc S Class

Re: Next gen. 7-series?

I wonder if any magazines will rag on this car for having outdated styling like they did on the CTS. Kinda funny how the Caddy gets titled 'dated' when BMWs rarely change from one year to the next. Nice car nonetheless tho.
