I looked at the pics of the new 7 today and my first impressions is that it's a nice car but very very classical and "more of the same".
No doubt it's a wonderful car, but I would have liked BMW to make the design a bit more special and innovative...

Then again, I'm not the typical buyer they're aiming at (age 31).

What do you think?

looks like something audi would do. BMW tried bold and edgy with the current one, and it flopped big time. Looks like they had to go conservative like they with the E90's

I cant says I am a fan of the looks.... :nono:, however I do remember when the Escalade first came out, or even the E60 and most people didnt like the styling, but like an ugly duckling they grow on ya! :lol:

anyway, id have to see one in real life before I could be sure, but in the pics it looks kinda 4x4ish! :lol:

You are right: E60 520d in Paris.
And my best wish would be a 2008 E60 520d 177hp... Probably far from the S63 !!! I'm sure you are right ... But the speed camera and the 1.50 Euros/liter for unleaded fuel :cool: will make me stick to a "simple" E60.... :P
