I will never unsee that image when I see one! I suppose that there are only so many ways that you can reinvent and distort the same old BMW “face”.

Dear God. Now I know what happened to the bloke who designed the Ford Scorpio! Shocked

Probably designed by the same person that designed the X6. That's a very ugly car too.

It's because in China, the U.S. and the Middle East, big chrome grills are a sign of wealth. The bigger and shinier the better.

BMW design chief Adrian van Hooydonk on the 7 series.

Quote:
The 7 has always been the hardest to bring the expectations of the entire world into one shape. The customers are very, very different in China, the U.S., the Middle East and in Europe.

In Europe, people don't want to get noticed. They don't like being asked what they paid for a car and they like things in black like a stealth mode. ... The rest of the world is the opposite. We tried to give the Europeans what they want as well, but the strongest market for the 7 is not Europe.


Seems this look is progressing across the range. Ghastly.

It doesn’t seem to know what it’s supposed to be... SUV? hatchback? Something else....

I wonder if the more of these appear, the more they become “normal” and possibly cool/aesthetically pleasing? Y’know, like the first Sierra and Mondeos.

Personally, as of today! I think it’s fugly!
