Why the personal jab?

Anyway...not digging these wheels. Might look better on a black car but as is I'm definitely not feeling it.

Very nice car, though it looks like it was lowered too much.

Looks good. 7s are never exciting (per sey) but they can be very well put together, which I think this is.

However, I think the 7 should be a little more luxury and less attempted bad-a$$

The black wheels ruins the car for me. Its trying to give a two and a half ton luxury sedan some kind of "track" look

don't like the front lip and trunk spoiler, don't flow with the car, front lip fits better for a civic.
Like the drop and deep dish wheels though.

The side profile looks like a 3 series and a 5 series had a baby then put it on steroids.


I'd still rather have an LS.

^ That looks great dj! Much better!

I've always liked these tail lights though. They really stand out at night.



Perhaps it's the black colored wheels that are throwing people off. But I think the wheels are sweet: twin 5 spokes, reminiscent of Advan Model 5's, and one piece forged to boot.

Tailor Made 1-piece fitments and finishes in:
19 inch Full Face | 20 inch Full Face | 23 inch Full Face | Widths from 9”–13”


The V-102's are nice too, with similar specs:



The Vorsteiner BMW 750i is almost like a Tom's Lexus LS; understated upgrades that should really work. I can get behind it.

I REALLY LOVE the new 7. Its a big car but the new front face and redesign make it look a bit smaller and thus more aggressive and sportier. Its a 7 series in actual size but looks sportier and more performance oriented like a 5 does. Particularly if your drop the suspension, go with 22 inc hwhells, and do some minor paint work on the front grill and the side markers. The rear Vorsteiner lip looks great as well and adds to the perfromance / aggressive styling.

I am seriously thinking of gettign one of these in 2-3 years when I can find a lightly used one at a good price. BMW is very poerfromance oriented, the car has loads of features as TXSTYLE indicated and you know its rock-solid build quality with durability.

IMO, they did a GREAT JOB on an EVOLUTIONARY RATHER THAN REVOLUTIONARY RE-DESIGN. Kudos BMW!

Why's everyone going "Yawn" I think the mods make this really BIG lofty looking sedan a little more taut and sporty! I give it a thumbs up!
