By accident, I've been one of the lucky few who have seen the new BMW 7-Series in person.
When I was in Moscow covering the 2008 TransSyberia Rally for Porsche BMW was across the street from the hotel in Red Square unveiling it to the Russian Glitterati.
The car definitely looks better in person than in photos but I HATE it when BMW unveils a car in non-sport version guise (body kit/wheels) because the regular version looks so ordinary and mundane, with normal all-season tires.
So I was reserving my final opinion of the design until I saw it as a sport version car.
Well, BMW may have accidentally slipped the first shot of it out themselves.
As I looked closely to the photo with Bangle and Von Hooydonk (see photo in gallery below), I noticed the car they were standing next to had bigger tires/wheels and a more aggressive looking front bumper.
So my guess is it's the new 7-Series with sport package.
And it DEFINITELY looks better and the part.
You have to look close, but you will agree with me.
And, the color combo is really hot as well.
Do you agree?
