That was confirmed by BMW engineers at the prototype drives... I doubt they were lying...

I can confirm that there is no hockey stick: that was pointed out to me by insiders when I did the render, which is pretty close to the real thing...

It looks too similar to the f10.

With that said the f10 is the best looking bmw in the last 10 years so this is just awesome !

Don't get me wrong, really like the M3 and M2, but wouldn't say they were good looking cars by any means.
anyone who doesn't think the F80 looks good should have their eyes examined

Yes you did. You reign as the most accurate impression so far even over the main publications.
Why? Because you used the source material to distinguish how the rear lamps wrap around the rear, the floating air breather with no hockey stick
And of course the main body of design work.
So well done.
A Touring update would be nice

Yep, BMW are going the same way as Audi!

It's good to hear about the 200 lb weight savings, but didn't the F10 gain like 400 lbs over the E60? Can't believe BMW allowed that, clearly their priority wasn't to produce the "ultimate driving machine."

looks like the evolution of the 5 not very surprising to me, it is a handsome car though. My hopes are that the Interior is largely improved because the new E-class is killing it, nothing looks remotely as opulent in my opinion. The & series is very techie which I love but the interior looks like a gussied up 3 series which was disappointing especially when compared to the s class.

Hahaha! Thanks SCOTT26! I'd rather do the render of the future M5, so looking forward to the official pics of the G30 to base myself on!

Cheers!

What I really dislike about the new 7 is that the front piece where the front camera sits...that little piece is black. Why BMW? On the X5, the piece that the front camera is in is body colored. It looks so cheap and it's a huge oversight on the 7.

Its a design element that harks back to traditional BMW. When the front grille incased the headlights before legislation made headlights covered.
The feature incorporating the camera aligns with the bottom and top line of the headlights.

True, a tread exist with reference to this by journalists testing the car! The tread had links to all reviews by different car mags.

Here are scans from Autocar and Auto Express. About Auto Express, the side rendering of the car is not accurate because the car won't have the 7 series Hockey Stick air curtain...
