new??

looks more like a FL to me




Its evolution. E65 was revolution. In time when face lifted E65 camed out , design for F01 was already finnished. So face lifted E65 is in the middle between E65 and F01. But F01 is much more elegant and again, pictures doesn't do justice. In promo video new 7er looks much better than on pictures. Promo video is already online, but is hidden, you will be able to see it this weekend.

Concept CS is too aggressive for car in this range and most people would not like it. BMW 8 will be very similar to CS concept, will be built on same platform as BMW 7 and new RR, and will be in higher range than MB CL.



Wrong about higher range than CL, the production CS will not cost more than CL. Its engines will be from M3's V8 to M6's V-Ten, whereas CL has twelve cylinders. Besides, BMW cannot sell their cars that costly. It's BMW, not aston martin or Porsche.

Proof? Does the 7 cost more than a comparable S-class?



BMW 7 will not be flagship anymore, there will be two cars above - new 8 series and large luxury roadster, Z8. And its too early to talk about the engines, because BMW don't only have M3's / M5's engine, but also works on new engines too True, its not Porsche or Aston Martin, but also Mercedes isn't Porsche or Aston Martin. Friend who is engineer in BMW told me that new 8 series will be based on CS concept, will be in higher range than CL and that will be new BMW's flagship.
