BMW F01 7 series

[Kitdy]

I just realized that BMW has finally gone form model designations in the E's to the F's.

Madness!

Does anyone know why they started with E in the first place?

post 1 pic 3, the nose lookes chopped off. the rear lights are from the Z4

in the first pic it lookes just like the 5 series. I love the interior though.

From some angles its growing on me. I just wish they could've kept the grille in proportion with the rest of the car! Why can't they just let it look normal!

All these big exec cars are getting too fat and full looking too. The original Audi A8 and the mid late 90's 7 Series look much better than anything since in my opinion.

sadly true

All it needs is a smaller grill and last years tail-lights and it would be perfect IMO.

I, for once, am going to be positive. I prefer this to the previous one.

"E" stands for Entwicklung, German for development or evolution.

I'm not sure about the side vent-thing. I think I need to see it in person before I pass judgement.

I disagree, there's a few hints of the CS Concept, but over all it doesn't really look much like the CS Concept. The CS Concept might be the best looking four-door I've ever seen, this I'm still on the fence on.

Ugly, to ugly to even be given the aprovall from drawing, it's really ugly, like the old one this POS will never grow on me, i'd take an A8 over this ny time, it's hideous period. i'm amazed that they pay ppl to draw and develop such things.

The front profile is Volvo, the back profile is Lexus, the back is Citroën... really, what's there to like in this? any other of the luxury barges looks better than this. Talk about stiking a bmw badge into a dead cat!

How unusual of you.

How interesting.
