The good:

I think it is great that BMW implores their designers to push boundaries of design and to be creative. I love that about the company. I like that they are doing some really interesting things with surfaces, and textures and materials. I appreciated some of the behind-the-scenes look at how the concept was created. That is really cool. I like the suicide doors, the embedded carbon fiber with the seats and the B pillar. The headlights are neat too.

The bad:

There is just too much going on here. The proportions the front kidney is TERRIBLE. On the current 7-er I think the kidneys are too big to start with, this is just too much of a good thing. I am not a fan of the design elements below the rear door and the treatments above the exhaust ports.

4G LTE? Google Street View / Maps / Navigation, over the air software updates?

As well as utilising Carbon body panels like the rest of the 7er models . eDrive 7er will also feature Carbon wheels in an aerodynamic design. The crowning piece with be a six cylinder combined with an electric motor developing around 400 hp and the fuel consumption of a entry model 3er with the weight of an entry 5er.

So this is simply a concept that showcases features that will be shown in next generation 7 series and the X7? This isn't the 9 series?

Beautiful.
If it was me I would name it the FL-Series
(Future Luxury)
Or just L-Series

[hellrotm]

Ummm...that thing is butt ugly.

[psuibmw]

Looks good ... May be this is a new 7 series in couple of years or so!

The design is amazing, can't wait to see it on the road, but there is something wrong about the grills...

[W12x]

Way too many people here

[W12x]

So crowded here

[bunker]

Interior is positively stunning.

Exterior is absolutely god-awful.

[fgalanda]

If this was the next gen 7er they would kill all competition , I have no words on this; simply amazing!
I actually like huge grills, its different!

[BC87]

N-credible!!!

[gds52]

Everything except kidney grills look nice.
If Mazda is for smiley face, this would be angry face with big teeth.

[SCOTT26]

Pretty busy here.

More later...

[Str8m3]

Looks worse than a Buick. Styled like that ugly Jag I see at the country club.

[fbm3cab]

WOW!!! The words amazing and stunning come to mind.

If I ever had to work for some one then I would want to work with them.

[bimmerjph]

Looks like a stylized brick to me.

[Z8chP]

Make the kidneys smaller and then it'll work. The car screams presence.

[lasovan]

I love it! Welcome to the future!

[Lups]

Head lamps are wrong, if the bigger par was in the middle, that would work with a little sharper nose. As an over all, It's just too much work. There is much to see, but nothing to focus on entirely. This would be a beauty with no comparison, if someone would just take the pen off the designers hand a few minutes before the shading is done. The crucial lines are correct, but then there should be a pause in there somewhere. You just can not draw and draw and draw and still hold the attention.

As a disclaimer I offer this yet again: I own a Jack Russell.
