No, this image was literally leaked today. You probably saw an unofficial render.
He's talking about the lightened-BMW teaser that I posted earlier in this thread. That was also a BMW official photo.

Totally, it's no different than the i4. Hopefully the next-gen Neue Klasse platform is better in that regard. I will say the i7 is going to have an immediate advantage over the EQS because it'll have a proper executive rear seat.
I don't hate it either, but it's too tall. Shame they had to use a platform that needs accommodations for EV and ICE. The interior lighting is interesting:
This is... exactly everything I expected lol. That interior is straight out of the iX, with some tacked-on pieces of glass added to it that look like a poor man's version of the LS500's. It also looks rather plasticky-y from these photos, though I assume that's because they're mainly of the i7 which is supposed to be more "eco-friendly." The almost complete lack of stitching in the interior is a huge question mark.
It's funny how the grille was what everyone was worried about and it ends up being the least offensive part of the front end. Those deep cuts in the bumper... yikes lol. It's amazing how a mostly bland car with such a basic 3-box profile and almost no character lines can have a front end that rivals the audacity of the current Hyundai Elantra.
Here's another pic of the non M-Sport version, with the "normal" bumper. This isn't too bad, the tall body and the vertical bumper do give it Rolls Royce sedan vibes. Not beautiful, but it is a different than the "lower wider and curvier" style that all the other flagships are going after, and that is respectable.

Anyone see Rolls Royce in this design? Looks are subjective but I never like how Rolls Royce look. Somehow the S always looks more flagship sedan to me, even with the new design. It doesn't look as bad as Es.

I do. The tall body is typically a Rolls-only design element. BMW's desire to have one platform be flexible enough for ICE and EV gave this car a similar look. The very large and tall grille just adds to the effect.

That's what I said lol.
More videos are coming out, and nope, I'm still not warming up to it. The worst part is that seemingly the only way to get the non-overbite bumper is the EV version, you can't get it with the ICE.
What's also odd is that the car is the same length as the Rolls Royce Ghost at 213 inches which makes it the longest in this segment, but the wheelbase is only 0.2 inches longer than the outgoing model. That means most of that extra length is from that silly overhang.
