terrible. the back looks like a lexus/toyota. the side profile is very un-european. the front kidney grille looks MASSIVE and garish.

there hasn't been a good 7 since the e38.

then again i've just grown tired of bmw's in general so maybe my distaste for them is showing. they all look terrible from the outside and have become softer to drive.

if i were to buy a sedan in its class, i'd either get s550.

a little bit more money and maserati quattroporte is a gem.

Y'all mind if I ask, "What BMW is being driven in the Transporter movies?" Is it the BMW7 like the one in the first post of this thread or a custom-made BMW? It sure could move! Thanks.

Horrendous.

The front/grille area is just ugly. The side profile is bland and the rear looks Japanese. I like the interior although.

But, why would anybody buy this over a Mercedes-Benz S550? Sure, the S550 is about $10,000 more but it is simply a much better car.
