CLEAR PICTURES: 2009 BMW 7 Series!

CG image.

But, if the front looks like this, then it's an improvement. The rear is still hideous IMO.

It's a good step, but one can still see some missing links, like the back bumper. And for a high price luxury car, these tail pipes (mufflers' tips) look very cheap.

Isn't the rear a blown winner [335i], now just the engine to let that wanna be 550 by MB know who is the ultimate

The next non-Bangle BMW 7 series looks good. It looks more sleek than the current 7 series. I really hope BMW turbo charges this beauty.

I think rear is ugly, and front is quite German, like the current version. There's something very über about the 7 Series headlights! However, it would be unrealistic to expect the standard 7 Series to have 500-700hp. The current 4.8L V8 is a fantastic engine; it would be good if they upgraded it to the 380s to compete more closely with the S550.

Rear lights actually remind me of a stretched last-gen Infiniti M light, and the character line along the side is reminescent of the S-Class's, where the current one is straight-lined.

Better looking compared to the current horrible 7 series but the rear still looks terrible. Best looking in this segament by ranking are
1. Audi A8
2. Lexus LS (new design)
3. BMW 7 Series (the above redesign)
4. Mercedes S Class (design inspired by Hyundai)

I feel scammed. The headline reads "CLEAR PICTURES: 2009 BMW 7 Series!" while the first line of text tells me it's an artist's deception. Sad.

I still can't believe there are ppl out there dumb enough to think Bangle's designs were his own.

Look at the Plymouth Breeze trunk lid and Lexus' SC430 if you want to see his inspiration.
