Spotted: New 7-series

I saw this a week ago, but I haven't gotten around to really posting about it.

In Edgewater on River Road I spotted a new 7-series. Certainly interesting as it was still predominantly taped-up and sporting a swirly, black and white design.

Proportionally it is essentially the same as the current 7-series. And the looks of it are identical to the recent press shots which were released, so, I do not understand the need for taping and all that.

ahh yes, the 7 series...one of the fastest (depreciating) cars on earth...

 

Looks nice (for a change)

 

as well as pioneer of the technological marvel we've come to love(hate), I-Drive...

 

the car is pretty (boring)...

 

It certainly inspires me (to look elsewhere for buying a family sedan)




I actually like the new looks. It's even lost 100 lbs I heard.

 

Go to the BMW import and export building at the ports.. there are a few sitting there.

 

It seems every time BMW is about to roll out a new product I wind up seeing it.

I have seen:

- Pre-production M6
- 335
- Pre-production E92 M3 convertible
- Pre-production X6

It's cool to see test vehicles floatin' around.

ps. IMHO I am not a huge fan of this redesign

 

Their N.A. Headquarters is in Woodcliff Lake, so it's expected the new models would be floating around those parts.

 

My office is over there sandwiched between the Mercedes and BMW corporate offices. God help me.

 

Haha

This I know.

It's good being a Bergen County resident.

 

It looks alright I guess.

 

which is why i love it so. i had a 98 740iL and it was the best car I've ever owned.

 

I saw a ML320 Bluetec yesterday with Michigan manufacturer plates. First test car I've ever seen.

I'm still not a fan of the new 7 looks (let alone the last gen, E38 is great still). The interiors are very nice, though.

 

The E38 is such an epic car. The 2001's with the sport package were fantastic.

 

I saw an alpine white '01 E38 740iL the other day with the sport package and couldn't stop looking at it. It had a moonroof (color matched to the body) so it took me off guard at first and I thought it was the Protection package since they don't come with a moon/sunroof at all. I will get an '01 750iL at some point in my life. Right now I can't afford to maintain one, LOL!

 

I recently spotted a "mint" E38 740i in Imola Red; it looked fantastic.
