This week, I had the opportunity to drive some of the 2010 product from BMW, one being the 2010 7-Series equipped with the M-Sport package. We tested it at the headquarters in Woodcliff Lake, NJ and I have to admit I was feeling very Tony Soprano like during my cruise through the surrounding neighborhoods in New Jersey.It is one sweet package and the in our opinion the most beautiful 7 yet.And the drive?Like a DREAM.Best large sedan on the planet right now.Enjoy these fine shots we took of the car.2010 BMW 7-Series M-Sport Photo Gallery 2010 BMW 7-Series M-Sport Photo GalleryRolls-Royce Ghost Photo Gallery2010 BMW X6 Active Hybrid Photo Gallery2010 BMW 5-Series GT First Drive Photo Gallery2009 SEMA AUTO SHOW Photo Gallery Now LIVE!AutoSpies.com Photo GalleriesIf you want to see your photos running on our homepage photo ticker, be sure to upload your photos on the go by sending them to Mobile@AutoSpies.com Share on FacebookThere are photos and then there are AutoSpies.com photos!AutoSpies.com is ranked number one on Google search for auto showsThe 2009 SEMA Auto Show gallery is sponsored by Lexus.

There's something not right about the hood cut lines. I've noticed this on several of the new 7 Series. The side-to-side cut line is off at the outward edges. — 204E60 (View Profile)

I agree with the cut lines on the new 7. But I personally think that the front end is a bit off. I personally think that the grills are too large and that they should have been included in the hood. Also the lower half of the front end is kinda odd with the chrome brows.T— TauronB2G (View Profile)

That line gap you're talking about is an optical illusion - if you measured the spacing it's the same all the way across the bottom of the hood, but the different angle on the side versus the front makes them look different. I thought the same thing when I first saw the car, so I actually took a ruler to it.— JRobUSC (View Profile)

This car is ok its not nothing to be all cracked up about. its NOT an official M7(which what should have been done)The interior looks exactly like a regular 7, has an M logo on the door sill (CORNY), The grille is chrome and it has the X5-M wheels on it. Im not impressed at all BMW needs to give the public an officail M7 and stop having us do aftermarket upgrades to create an M7. Its going to sell so people can have a sport look NOT sport performance.......I think since they are doing away with the V10 in the M5 and the M6 they should throw it in the 7 and make an M7. I see alot of you people are impressed by this but its not impressive at all IMO.....— B7FAN (View Profile)

M53R,I have to disagree. The current 3-series coupe looks amazing. The 7 has really weird rear-end light shapes and the front grill is too big. Also, the front headlights look like they belong in a much smaller car - not elegant at all.— synx (View Profile)

I95SPEEDINGTICKETS,I'm not saying it is a bad looking car, it just could look better. Personally, I prefer the look of the S-class or the new XJ. As for presence, almost all big cars have presence. But I do know what you mean, this car does make you turn and stare at it.The rear lights have a cool design but the actual shape makes them look like they belong on a strange Korean car (no offence), not on a top of the line luxury BMW.Just my opinion.— synx (View Profile)

synxI actually bought a brand new 750Li like 2 months ago :) It's parked everyday next to the S63 AMG. I'll try taking pictures whenever I can. The 7 actually makes the S class look inferior imo, especially when they are put side by side. Might be a first for BMW, but the elegance of the 7 totally blows the S class away. BMW have really upped their game in the large sedan market... too bad the pricing is too high and it happened to come out during the recession. — M53R (View Profile)

The side profile of the rear is quite generic. Couldn't they have thought up of a better C-pillar? Also, the lower grille isnt working for me...however, the interior is nice.— lexusrox123 (View Profile)

There is a reason the front end has to be big! Has anyone realized that all of the vehicles have to be a flat front because of the european regulations for pedestrian safety? duh!You are going to see all of the vehicles have a flat front end because of the regulations. if you have a problem with this, write the european union, dont blame BMW, MB, Audi, Jaguar.— 2ndbimmer (View Profile)

I love how the wood on the doors have a discreet function - as door handles. It also give the wood trim an even greater solid feel - as if they were cut out of thick wooden blokes rather than simply glued on sheets of wood.— WorldofLuxury (View Profile)
