I looked at the pics of the new 7 today and my first impressions is that it's a nice car but very very classical and "more of the same".
No doubt it's a wonderful car, but I would have liked BMW to make the design a bit more special and innovative...

Then again, I'm not the typical buyer they're aiming at (age 31).

What do you think?

looks like something audi would do. BMW tried bold and edgy with the current one, and it flopped big time. Looks like they had to go conservative like they with the E90's
