Default BMW 7-series to be re-designed ALREADY!

"We have this on the highest authority: Your excuses for wanting to dangle BMW design chief Chris Bangle from a tree for what he did to your beloved 7 Series will be all but eliminated by year

Screw the 7 series (it wasn't that bad) at least compared to the z4. That thing and i mean thinggg is the ugliest automobile next to the pontiac aztec. Hate to say it but it just doesn't have one good angle... at least to me.

Great, they're gonna let the same guy who screwed it up in the first place redesign it. I guess BMW likes to learn the hard way.

Two Words : Thank God !!! Let's hope Bangle knows he is on thin ice and is ready to redesign it towards something more sporty, yet conservative (see S Class sport or previous 7 series).

I hope they update the engine output, which is left behind from Mercedes S Class.

I am actually starting to like the 7 series. The Z4 is really beyond ugly though.

I love the current 7 series... if you've ever driven or ridden in one I think you'd have an appreciation for them as well. If I hit the Lotto... I'd have to have one just because they're so damn comfortable.
