BMW 7 Series refresh......You gotta see this!
I don’t know about anyone else, but this sure looks bad to me.

The only car on the planet that has an uglier grill (for this price point/category) is the 2020 Genesis G90.
WTF were these designers thinking? Were they DRUNK?!

Yeah, surely BMW could have done a better job with this LCI. I do not want my 760 looking like an X7. If you think the front looks bad, well, the side looks worse. They bent the hockey stick into a right angle.
Just totally ruins the lines of the car. Hopefully they figure this out in 3 years when I am back in the marketplace.

Sad, they should talk to us instead! We'd help them design this. When I went to the Welt for the first time ever last month to see everything, I asked where is the new 7 series? The guy looked at the floor then looked up "uh, well, we're redesigning the showroom a bit and don't have one out now". What? Yeah, so... that is not cool. Maybe they were embarrassed that they don't look that great anymore? The Roll's looked SO COOL to me, not "cool like I must have one" but "cool and they're for super rich f'ers". It was such a blast checking them out. Poor 7 series. After the E38 (2001 7 series), to my eye, they haven't designed so many great 7's since then.

Look at this interior’s stitching pattern that carries over to the armrests-god this is awful and way overdone. This is not luxurious to me. Certainly not sporty which is what I want in my BMW. I hope this is not part of the individual full merino package on the M760!

Considered and test drove a new 7 Series before I bought my S. Complete junk and awful interior. Salesman admitted the S interior is nicer but kept calling me back and begging for a sale.

LOL!Would not expect any praise from S-Class owners on MB site anyway for a competitive car, even when it has some really nice upgrades, like 70 hp more power then the Benz.
Diamond stitch in a BMW is bad, in S-Class?
Fabulous of course, even if it looks idiotic on the dashboard.
Funny bunch.......

The 7 is certainly not “complete junk and awful interior.” I would put my 760 with individual full merino leather, alcantara headliner, Bowers & Wilkins stereo, LED pano moonroof, et al against EVERY Mercedes S Class interior.

I did consider the 760M. I drove it on the BMW performance track in South Carolina in May 2018 when I completed a two day BMW performance school class--put that big 12 cylinder through the paces. I am an MB fan but for those who have not driven a 760M you really don't know what you are missing--it is a sweet car. Just an opinion from an MB fanatic. Rockland has an awesome car.

760 is an awesome car--I still think my '19 S63 is nicer But when you come up for a Penguins game like you said I think I can convince you the S63 is a better car

Need to drive up next time. I will drive up for the Stanley Cup playoffs in May and June!
I am sure your S63 is great Mark, but I just can’t buy a car with a stalk lever gear shift on the column; not yet anyway; and I need my internal hard drive to store my CDs

I came in just for the day 2 weeks ago. The President of OneAmerica Financial is from Winnipeg originally so I bought tickets for us to the Pens and Jets game and we both flew in.
