"Showing almost everything" ... except the front and rear ends .

The side profile looks very similar to the current 7. It seems that the new 7's exterior will be very evolutionary compared to the current 7.

Seems like they kept the current big-body shape.
Probably a mule but I thought they were going to go with the CSL design?

Semi-integrated bumper exhaust

Oh dear, the exhaust tips looks VERY Japanesey don't they?

By the looks of things If that's the next 7 series, i'd be VERY concern if i were BMW...as if they aren't falling way behing Merc and Lexus is it is already?
