looks great!
thats how it should have looked from the start!

Yeah, im with you guys too...looks nice, elegant...but i have to admit, that rear mmm still hasnt grown on me... :|

Overall, i like it but those tail lights... :?

more diesle option

Hmmm... does the diesel V8 sport the same twin turbo setup as the 535d?

Nice looking car now... looks like a big E46, but with more modern lines. Very clean.

I do hope the 760 retains the "wide grille" option. I thought that gave the whole car a very aggressive look to it.

Yeah they dumped the 40d and introduced the 45d. GREAT!

:love:

I already loved the previous E65 and I still dig the face lifted one :)

I kind of feel sorry for the people who bough the car before...I mean they spend a lot of money getting it and few years latter the car shape changes..

I still hate the looks though.. Looks fat from behind and the front is acceptable now..

Awesome!!!

damn i wish these diesel cars would be available in Canada! Theres only 3 models available here.... 745i 745Li and 760Li. Some diesel bimmers would definitely be welcomed with praise. I love these cars!

same feelings here. I do think it looks much more elegant overall, but those tail lights look narsty - much prefer the sleek, futuristic looking ones on the current 7 series.

when is this facelift supposed to roll out onto the market? next yr?

Looks better overall. Especially the tailights suit the car better than before. Very nice interiour quality aswell.

We share the same opinion. The old ones gave it a very high tech look, these look like they came off a cheap sedan. The front looks nicer, more elegant and the whole seems to give it a better image as a limo. Me likes :D
