Spies Land Exclusive First Real Life Photos Of The New BMW 7-Series
While Agent 001 was on location in Moscow, Russia today getting ready to cover a special event for Porsche and just happened to be at the right place at the right time when he crashed the worldwide premier of the new BMW 7-Series in Red Square.
The new car looks a lot different in person than it does in the photos.
It has more presence and is more muscular than the photos show but I can tell you to my eye this ne 7 shows A LOT of queues of the successful Lexus LS460.
Enjoy our exclusive of the new car and the spectacular event and be sure to comment with your opinion if you see a lot of Lexus in this car.

The event looked like a lot of fun. I can't what to see the video of the lead designer explaining the concept. Now everyone else will start coming out big jutting forward grills and detail pieces overlapping the doors and fenders. Let the copying begin.

^ psst, Kraut_God... I don't know what you thought it meant or how you were trying to use it, but "cantankerous" means "ill tempered", which obviously doesn't fit with a car. Maybe you thought it meant "tank-like" because "tank" was in it?
Anyway, we'll just keep this between us, but from now on don't use the big words to make yourself look smart unless you actually know what they mean.

I must admit this new 7 series is pretty ugly. It might have to grow on me before i even attempt to look at it again. The old 7 series was actually pretty decent looking. I dont understand why they would make the 7 series look like a sports car when they have several other lines for that.

No, what you meant is that toyota copied styling cues from BMW, whereas BMW evolved the look of the previous 7. Just goes to show how closely toyota imitated BMW when they redesigned their ls thing.

That's actually true. The BMW is a typical evolution of the current model, and if you say the LS didn't steal design queus from BMW, you are blind.

The rear looks an awful lot like the LS...and, as bulldogz pointed out, the similarities are unique to the new LS (swooping LED lines, square tail pipes)

I actually think that the darker color looks so much better than that champagne color that was used in the press release photos. I am actually not minding it as much now in these darker colors like the blue shown here. And I like the grill. In case you all forgot, BMW of its beginning years had huge kidney grills.... maybe this is BMW doing "retro".

the rear bears a lot of resemblance to the current 5 series, in the trunk lid area.

Was not a big fan of it, but I think that it will definitely look better in real life (just like every other car), and the car does look better in dark color than the champaigne. I still am not a very big fan of the side profile, but as XJ13 mentioned, it will still be a hit...

Front end looks better in these photos, evolution of current 7 series design can be cleary seen. but the rear still not improved and grown on me. Looks like a fat and ugly copy of LS.

The LS took it's side profile and rear-end from the current 5-series. BMW just stole it back. Do you Lexus idiots forget that quick? Or are you just blind? Those Japanese sensory deprivation chambers you call cars have dulled your sight as well as your driving ability.

that's called the hoffmeister kink, they stole it from BMW, dumbass.
Also, chrome door handles have been an optional feature on luxury cars (Rolls, Benz, Cadillac) for decades.
I like Lexus. I have an SC430. I can personally testify that the strength of the Lexus brand is smoothness, reliability, interior comfort, and customer service. (My Lexus dealer said 'we don't want you to ever drive anything else but a Lexus from now on.' - they are committed to pleasing the customer)
For anyone to contend that BMW (or anyone else) borrows designs from Lexus is just outrageously stupid.
Lexus styling is amorphous and unoriginal. I didn't say ugly, just unoriginal. They incorporate other makers' succesful design features into inoffensive, mildly attractive, ambiguous shapes.

Really trying hard to like this car, really hard..Just cant seem to do it..I mean the 3 series was excellent in my opinion..Wat happened with this?Just hope the coming 5 series is not ruined the same way..For the next years I guess the S class will be the leader in this segment..

Whole design is not cohesive and looks to be heavily borowed styling cues from Lexus.
S Class has better street presence and is overall a higher prestige brand than BMW.

ARE YOU RETARDED? How can a car borrow design from Lexus? Lexus has no definitive design, it is a mishmash of cues borrowed from BMW and MB. Lexus is the unoriginal design thief, not BMW. BMW is just taking their own back.

Wow pushrod, settle down little one.
Square tailpipes + swooping LED tailamps = LS
Looks good on the LS and good here although nothing really groundbreaking on this thing. What's your deal?

I honestly don't find a Lexus LS in this car. I don't care how huge are the kidney grills as long as they are present. It looks classy and stylish, and whether you like it or not it's gonna be a hit.
