    On following picture is new idrive , which will appear in new 7 series. It is similar to current one with added some shortcuts. Also user interface is improved and is easier to use.




    From what I read the new IDrive is essantially a copy of Audi's MMI: short-cut buttons for the major menus, a return button and an simplified selection mode for the "Joystick".

    P.S.: Based on the pictures I am rather disappointed by the design of the 7 series. I hoped that they would finally create a car with clean lines again... Maybe the final product will be more convincing than these pictures make me think...



    Looked better with the camo on .

    Are you implying I am affiliated to BMW? Lol. I wished. Some guy on a VW forum found it. Not sure what he was doing looking at German eBay when he doesn't speak a word of German.

    I hope it looks better than this. I'm not impressed at all . But again it's BMW, they used to be known for nice designs.

    People who have seen new 7 series in person, said it looks great. So I believe (and hope) that new 7 series will look better in person and on official photos...

    Re: BMW 7-series; new picture/rendering

    7.7.2008 is date when new 7-series will be presented... I know I will be positive suprised, because it can't look worse than on those photoshops

    So far we know it will have new V12 twin turbo engine, V8 twin turbo engine, new diesel, iDrive v2.0 with 40gb hard disc, Dynamic performance control, Connected drive, 4-wheel steering.

    And here is another picture with confirm that dashboard is rotated toward driver, like old Bimmers had.
