The current BMW 7-Series has been on the market since 2002 with a facelift in 2005. Here now is the first prototype mule of the next generation 7-Series, the company’s top of the line model.

The test car – although using major components from the current model – is already featuring a completely new front end similar to the 6-Series styling. The position of the headlights and turn signals show that the next 7-Series will have low mounted wrap-around headlights and a wide grille.

Apparently the car is for testing the cooling system and function of the air intakes.

The new 7-Series is not expected to be released before the end of 2007.

Me no like. Think I'm gonna hurl.

you get that out of the roundel?

**Dudesky** · 05-05-2006, 07:10 PM

No, I just read it in Bimmer Mag, but you can also Google it online.

I only ask cause i got my latest roundel earlier this week and its in there, at least thats where i think i have seen this.

It might look good once it's done

**TJsBimm** · 05-05-2006, 09:02 PM

They always make it look like shit at first but it has to hold some integrity.

witeshark · 05-06-2006, 05:04 PM

That can't be the final look

nick_318is · 05-06-2006, 05:07 PM

I beleive its the new front end of the next gen 7 grafted to the body of a current 7 from what i read in the roundel. They were testing the cooling system or something like that

see page 34 of the may 2006 roundel.

It really is the headlights that fark it up. those are nasty. actually, there aren't many contour lines in this model, it would appear. seems too round. hai, hai.

**BMWLotAttendant** · 05-06-2006, 07:25 PM

Yup

Ugly.

I like the 745s body style and the new 750s, but NOT that.

where's the puke bag?

**Negrodamus** · 05-23-2006, 05:07 PM

man the 7 series is pretty much the best looking luxury sedan on the market Im shure that they will make some changes on the headlights for gods sake
