I just saw the new 7 series in person. I gotta say I absolutley hated it seeing the pictures. But after seeing in 2 at the dealer I must say they are gorgeous. For those who have seen them in person, what do you think? Anyone driven one yet?

The first time I saw it in the dealer I was a bit let down. I thought the exhaust and tail were too much like a lexus. Then......I saw it on the road and actually liked it.

I'm with you; wasn't too impressed when I saw the pics, but really like it in real life. Haven't had the chance to drive one yet, but have seen plenty of them whilst over in Germany, especially when visiting Munich last.

I wanna see one of these
Seriously, I think that the new 7 is very good looking.
Truth be told, I did not like the looks of the E60 when it came out. I thought that it was homely compared to my E39. Now I love the way the E60 looks. Nothing on the road looks remotely like it.

Just saw one today driving to a friends house took some pics
I understand that there an APB and BOLO out for Krozi for stalking. The complainant is a petrified owner of a new 7.
