New 7-Series

Look after the jump for each video and a description of what’s in the video.

    The only problem i can foresee with this model is the fact that it’s looks are nearly unchanged compared to the older model.
    I have friends whom even prefer the older model’s Arse.
    The Tv’s at the back seats look bulky giving it an out dated look.
    The only reason i can see people buying this car over an s class would be because of it’s driving performance.

    I still don’t get the point of this car. Which part is NEW? Start - Stop switch? Driver HUD? Infra Red vision? Collision Prediction? Adaptive Damping? All of which have been done by VW, Merc, Volvo and even BMW themselves. What no 3G or Blackberry? Ok so its internet e-mail but w/o Microsoft Exchange that’s not going to go down well. 40G Hard Drive? Won’t flash memory be more robust and less power sensitive?

    Apparently none of the drivers know what a race line is. And no one cares about the environment, very apparently. Not when you are (chaufered) driving a 4 liter turboed engine car.

    ppl love to bash the 7 series…remember in 2001 ? but now so many manufacturers are copying them…esp the i-drive and rear styling. ( E65)
