So I was driving home this morning and on the way back, I see a the all new 750Li. Two lanes over, there is a older 750Li. Both black.
When I saw the new 7 at the dealer, I though that it looks a lot like the older one, but when you see them right next to each other, they are COMPLETELY different.
They are both awesome looking cars but the new 7 really is something else! The car is gorgeous and it looks SOOO much better driving than sitting in the lot, and it was already looking damn good just sitting on the lot. I also really like that the new 7 has amber LED's for the turn signals versus the red LED turn signals seen on the LCI 5er.

Any way just though I'd share cool coincidence :)

I have seen a couple on the streets. Don't like it at all.

The chrome sidemarkers look like sh*t.


But, the powerplant is amazing.

I like the looks of the new 7 better than the old 7. And as for engines, there's no comparison. Can't wait till they put that bad boy in the F10's successor car to the 550. We are talking 0-60 times equal to or better than the E39 M5.

I love the old 7's rear end.

New 7 has too many curves. I so want the new 550 when it comes out.

I love them both. At first I thought the design was too radical... same as when I first saw the E60.
I like it though :)

When the new 7er first came out, i dont like it at all, think the old one has better shape.
But the more i look at it on the street, the more i like it.

But still not feeling the big "nike" tail lights though. :(
