OT -- New 7-series pics
Kicks ***!

Got new pics of shooting in South Africa!

Can't place it in here, cause most of you only like the M5. Than I would create too much data-traffic...
So.. interested? http://www.powerwheelz.net

I think, 5-series will get the same rear in future...

Robert.

Except for that hump on the boot.

Very interesting-

take a careful look at both pictures- the rear tail lights really wrap around in the one Max shows but the other, which shows a side view of the car doesnt show nearly as much "wrap around". I suspect these cars arent the final style but perhaps they are close.

these pictures are better than the others Ive seen- but I suspect whatever the final design is, at first my reaction will be luke warm, but then Ill warm up to it.

As with the prior pics, the wrap-around tailights indicate that these pictures are trash. Notice how thin and long the front turn signal lenses are? If this car were facing you at an intersection with its headlights on, would you see the turn signals blinking? If this treatment is real, then we are probably looking at neon lights in this puppy, a la Z8. That's cool.

Ever notice how the automotive press never seems to have a digital camera handy? I'm no expert, but if I did this auto spy photo thing for a living, I'd probably remember to pack one in my bag. What's up with that?

I think the rear end looks interesthing. It's sleek & sporty from the side but the front looks wierd. Why are the headlamps set lower than the grille?
