New sketches of the 7-series successor

Mark · 11-13-2007, 02:05 PM

These brand new sketches seem to be inline with the media rumors that the next 7-series, which has been spied in heavy body clad form driving around germany, to follow many of the design themes of the recent BMW Concept CS. The car will share a similar face to that car, the body does remain more inline with the current 7-series, in order to maintain the optimum passenger comfort and visibility.

thats not gunna happen... but the wheels are nice

omg516 · 11-13-2007, 02:15 PM

That looks like a mangled mix of the e90, e92, CS concept and current 7 series through the pencil of a 17 yr old

I hope they keep to the "exhaust pipes hidden" theme that they have always had and not follow MB's show the exhaust pipes theme. I think the 7 is supposed ot be a classy, clean understated car. Would hate to see them turn it into some racer like our 3-series.

MI6 · 11-13-2007, 04:25 PM

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

Munich has already separately confirmed the CS for production so the 7 doesn't need a "CS" look. Also, the latest images from renowned Hans Lehmann images show a car with a more conservative look-basically a toned down version of the current car...........

agreed

Imagine what the rappers would do to those grills

ksfrogman · 11-13-2007, 07:07 PM

The large grills concept goes contrary to the traditional understated design themes of past. Might look good on a ram tough Dodge though.

ase2dais · 11-13-2007, 09:42 PM

Dodge Ram +1

... you hit the nail right in the head

BMWE90 · 11-13-2007, 09:49 PM

looks agressive. I like it.

THE JEDI · 11-13-2007, 10:07 PM

Sorry..but damn thats hot..makes 30 yr old want to buy it

Biz · 11-13-2007, 10:55 PM

Here's hoping that they don't do another round of headlights with eyelids ...

Kiemyster · 11-13-2007, 11:51 PM

it looks good, but this wont happen. its just too sport oriented for a 7er. it wouldnt be true to its heritage.

albeit, i would love to see somehting like this, but it would be too contradictive to the CS. i cant see this happening.

however, id o have a high hope that BMW will still create a beautiful car that will wow -- or at least meet our standards. i just pray the the 7er SHITS all over the S class.

c0nstant · 11-14-2007, 12:51 AM

looks Expensive

ksfrogman · 11-14-2007, 02:37 AM

All I can say is that this concept needs the same plastic surgeon Michael Jackson had. Gotta pinch them nostrils; make them smaller.

a burrito · 11-16-2007, 01:27 AM

it looks cheap. the shape is too curvy and not enough testosterone. the other model, yet smooth and curvy, had strong lines that represented the bmw blood line.

remmib · 11-16-2007, 07:57 AM

I kinda like it, but that grill look huge

11-16-2007, 08:06 AM

Aggressive, but I like the current 7ers.

My mom got one (750li) and that thing is balllerrrrrrrrr on the road
