The car must be seen live, with your own eyes.

Those who have seen it, say that it looks way better than in the pics.

I have a "thing" with the big grill, but otherwise it looks great.

The car looks better in the pictures you posted. I could care less about the color but the lines appear more fluid ... do you have any front and read pics of the car?

Rear bumper, lights and exhaust reminds me of the Lexus LS460

This market segment is very competitive, and I would pick two or three different cars before I even look at new 7er, no matter what color. It is just too japanese for $85K+ car.

Those profile shots look great. Can't wait to see it in person. Thanks for posting Ric!

I used to see the same thing. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I may replace my M5 in 2010 with this for 2 years until the new M5's are out. It really depends on what you can do with the TTV8 and what the sport pack looks like on these things.

Also, it will depend on whether or not you can get an anthracite or alcantara (black) headliner with a full leather interior. I know that seems petty, but after having it in my M5 I will never get another one without it.
