F01 BMW 7-Series: 1 hour long USA webcast
BMW USA held a 1-hour long Webcast on the 2009 BMW 7-Series (F01 and F02) on the 17th of February 2009 from San Diego, California, where BMW held a media drive for the American press. The webcast videos are now available to view as an archive.
They’re split into 8 chapters, with the first 7 chapters ranging between 2 minutes to 6 minutes long that feature various BMW personnel explaining the new 7-Series product features and design language choices, and the final chapter being a Q&A session that’s 24 minutes long.

Beast-like headlamps which is really cool and the rear-end resembles the 2002 Malaysian Camry. Maybe H&T could revise their protruding Bangle-ish boot lid to follow the trend, lol. Some notes: 4 wheel steering system which BMW named it as integral active steering and black panel LCD in place of EL meter.

rear end too japanese methinks. might look better if the car is dark color. where’s that BMW flavour…

The rear lamps material and color look so different from what we have seen currently, look like a paint work to me. Well many other will copy this type of technology in next few coming years for sure.

The design stage looks interesting.. vid 4, clay model, 3D model, focus groups etc. All car designers work like this though. Right si-fu?
