Work at a bmw store it is 12k. There is like some special process to make the paint as well, if you get in accident and need to get something painted slim chance it matches well from what the bmw trainer said

Lot of BMW 7 series commercials have been popping up on my TV. Doesn't look good in silver.

I don’t think it looks that bad. The silver ones on the TV commercial do not look great. I would like to see it in my favourite colour dark blue. I still wanna see it in person, though before I make a final opinion. I used to think the Mercedes electric car looked great in the photos, then I saw it in person. It looked like a big blob.

by the way, saw an eqs parked the other day. yup, i still like it. had a wow factor to me. was in a dark color which helped. friend said he'd been in one and was amazed.

Yeah the i7 is 100 times better looking than the EQS. The what the i7 loses in it's face, it makes up it in its imposing, upright presence. With the traditional 3-box proportions especially (trunk does need to be longer tho). The EQS just.. my god, it looks so cheap and dated on the road. The round jellybean styling just screams 90s to me in the worst way possible.

A two tone black over silver is tolerable.

I will have to agree the 7 looks better than eqs too. I have seen an all black and a two tone black/red model already. But they are both ugly as hell compared to literally everything else in this class, so it honestly doesn't matter.

I would say they're two of the ugliest sedans on the road currently, period. Rivaled only by their own siblings like the EQE and i4.
