I've always loved the 7 ever since they launched it...IMO the old one was better looking than the current one. It's a cool car...no matter what people say about it's looks...

Seriously uncool!

Since it's a BMW, average drivers will always be looking at the back of it... and the 7 series has a "bangled" back.

not as good as the quattroporte, but this is cool IMO. It is better then the S class and XJ I think, as well as the LS430... so youve gotta give it some credit!

I voted uncool as well since it was expected to be a tough rival for the Mercedes S class and the statistics mean the contrary....in addition, for me the cars design in general has been a big failure and IMO its back has ruined clearly the cars reputation and sales

Which statistics. When the 7 was released it outsold the S-class. Still uncool, since it looks shitty and over the top. PLus it's a car typically driven by 50+

The earlier model was cool...but this one... hmm..well, I like the way it dares to be different and is has presence, it really stands out when lined up against the equivalent Merc or Audi... but it's just a boring saloon. It has no soul. Uncool.

i voted cool, despite the stupid badge (sry zfrk ) i like this car, its a very good car, and looking different (although not particularly good imo) can be cool... btw the facelifted model looks pretty much like a normal BMW again, go for that if u dont like the controversial looks but still want the great car

[edit] just realised this might be a pretty big bump ops: but hey the reason of existence of this topic is for ppl to give their opinion about htis car, and i hadnt yet, so i think im exhonerated
