PARIS MOTOR SHOW: Spies Scoop The Competition With First Show Car Photos in Paris
Agent 001 was headed for the 2008 Paris Motor Show (just got off the plane just a few hours ago) when he got an early glimpse of the cars that will be at the show, DRIVING on the streets of Paris!

BMW has a few of the new 750's cruising through town and the X6 35d (I want one REALLY bad) as you can see from the photos 001 caught for the Auto Spies faithful.

We have a lot in store for you over the next few days, including our best of breed Paris Motor Show Photo Gallery.

So stay tuned for some out of this world coverage of these hot new BMW's, ALL the new rides that will debut and be shown in Paris this week and the gorgeous sights (including the ladies)!

Enjoy the teasers!

I've never seen an X6 without tinted windows. They should be a mandatory "option".

I know, I know...I'm beating a dead horse (sorry PETA!)but I just can't get over who much the 7 looks like an LS from the rear.

BUT...once again the interior looks great (loved the last one too, with that unfinished wood dash, reminded me of those Ticonderoga #2 pencils in grade school! haha!)

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to beat this dead horse as well. These photos confirm that the 7 looks too much like the LS. Ok, I'm done hitting the poor horse.

Some may say the Lexus copy the 7, I forget the actual model number but the rear pays hommage to the 1990 7 series

Jaybrn, I think it's only because of the swooped up LEDs in the rears just like the LS's, although for quite some time the 3 and 5 series had ones that went straight across. Now add in the exhaust (which I'm not sure if BMW ever implemented either in shape or INTO the bumper)and the similiarities can't be ignored.

I only see the exhaust being a similarity. The lights are different enough that you shouldn't confuse them, at least by these pictures

the 7 series looks so much better in these pictures than the unveiling pictures

very impressed the 7 is looking hotter and hotter since its debut in Moscow. I cant wait to see what Alpina Does with this one.

Take a look at that 7-Series Instrument Panel. It would seem to be a bit disconcerting to sit in the passenger seat.

It would seem to feel like sitting in front of a retaining wall. Perhaps there should be a 'bulls-eye' on the passenger side airbag cover.

Can't wait to hear the actual impressions of sitting in the car and driving the car - I'm not sold on the package yet.

You're pretty critical of BMWs, aren't you?

Not really - I have a 328i hardtop/cabriolet that I like very much (aside from the meager trunk room when the top is down) and an S550.

I sadly miss the days of the older BMW's - the E30 3-series was I think the high point of the marque, followed by the design leadership of the late 80's early 90's 5/7 series. I think the current x5 is pretty great - though I think the x6 is pretty pointless.

I also think the addition of run-flat tires across the board has diminished the driving experience - though on paper, the cars may deliver better performance numbers they just clomp over bumps now, shaking the car's structure.

I've never before seen the new 750's IP from the passenger side, and I have to say, it seems, in my opinion to loom across the dashboard with all the grace of a brick wall. Perhaps it was the camera angle.

I love it. The press pictures were terrible as expected but I think this car will be stunning in black or a metallic gray.

I think I started to like the new 7 Series.

Looks really cool.

Yeah possibly in black, maybe white, but overall the new 7 is just a quirky looking machine. Sure it's very sleek but overall it's just ruined by the taillight design & dated front end.

Seriously the front end of the 7 looks so bland in that sand beige color, it reminds me of an E39 5-series (Last gen 5er) just with a bigger grill...Dated to say the least.
