Is that called "BMW-Finesse" or "CopyCat-Finesse"?

What are those red lights just above the exhausts? They can't be brake lights or turn signals because I believe they are too low to meet regs. Are they just reflectors? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, they are reflectors..the 5 series has them as well.

Where did you get the original picture of this 7 series? I can't seem to find it...I'd like to see other pics of it like the front end to see what they have done.

Munich must have felt the breeze, so they're responding.

Still, it's a nice change away from the Bangle butts they've been stamping out lately...



Conforms to earlier spyshots...

I like it when they cover it like that; it's like, "Hey guys, take a spyshot of me"...

I just realized that the third brake light is near the roof. Just like the LS.

I also was shocked by how much they copied the LS. They can make it look like the LS but it will never be one!!!
