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.

Looks like the current gen, but with a integra front end.

LOL, if by Integra you mean those lights, well I think they're just disguise on this 7 test car.

Lets see if they can make it even more ugly this time

Maybe its testing of the new 760? With the W-12 A8, S 600s and AMG V-12s, the 760 is lost in the shuffle.

I was thinking the same thing when i saw that pic,,, A integra front end..( lights)... Why would you do that to a 80k car

Probably just covers for the time being... I personally believe that the current 7 looks just fine, imo

I understand car designs are subjective and everyone should formulate their own opinions but like you said the 7 is georgeous (a close second to the outgoing S-class). The current A8 is in a league of its own. I don't understand why so many of us at CL despise the 7 series. To me, I loved the Bangle7 since day one and love the facelift even more. I'm curious to see what the succesor will look like tho.
