All new 7 Series

[BretCols]

Came across these. Interesting look

[prompt]

I wonder who approves this ugly and bad executed designs

I'm waiting for the comments: "is going to grow on you and is going to look better in black"

Congrats BMW another ugly masterpiece

LOL

[M8Bimmer]

No actual gauge cluster area.....NO SALE to me anyway. I want a traditional dash or bye by-o to me-o.
Makes the car look like a big toy or exa-sketch. If this is BMW's trend then I'm out.

[Burrcold]

That's even worse than the X7 refresh.

[TTM0TION]

So they had the genius to just lift the MB dash. Lol. Car design, like so much in design in general, is so uninspired these days.

[happyjack]

unmitigated disaster.

[BMWCCA1]

Not really aimed at me, but then very little from BMW is these days. Gives me even more reason to retire. That plus the lack of inventory makes going to work sort of pointless. I spend most of the day ordering electric cars people won't see for a year.

[Cos270]

I like the profile, I like the rear, then we get to the front....wow. It's like they had a team of designers and everyone wanted a different design element and ALL of them got to include it in the final product. Shockingly incohesive.

Agree with this. New 7 Series should have debuted at a boat show because that is what it is, a big boat. Plus with the new clunky iDrive 8. Probably a massive depreciation vehicle 1-2 years after release.

[KennyFSU]

Oh man, that looks horrendous.

[nerdogray]

You ever see someone whose face was just beautiful, but they had that one flaw that just completely ruined it? Like being cross-eyed? That's this car.

[RM7]

Is that a Lincoln?

Yeah it does look like a Lincoln. Haha.

[snareman]

That front is hideous as are all of Dukec's recent fronts. That extra grille area under the kidneys looks like it's just a precursor to eventually making the entire area one large grille, perhaps on the LCI.

[MmmmmM2]

No thanks!

[Germanauto]

Such a strange looking car. Interior is not my taste but objectively impressive for the segment. But the exterior lacks any of the elegance that say the S-class possesses.

[kyriian]

Another Dukec and his band of misfit masterpiece... to be fair, the 7 already has fallen out of favour in the west anyway so its clear this was designed for the new clients to BMW.

I am more looking forward to the paid interviews with Dukec on telling people how they are focusing on the grille, comparing to a chef's masterpiece then hear there is too much salt.

[Tyga11]

I guess it's the cool thing to hate on every new design we see but I like it. It has road presence for sure. Better than what Mercedes is doing

[ParhamP1]

no

[stevenopoly]

looks like a terrible rolls royce / hyundai mash up.

[auburnf30x]

I'm trying, but I just can't. I haven't really minded most of the new controversial designs from BMW but this looks to me like every facet of the car had a different designer and they all had widely differing views of what this car should be.

A shotgun blast in the general direction of a cohesive car design.

[chris82]

The side/rear/interior are fine by me, front though, what is that?

Hyundai does come to mind...
