coolraoul, if you get the chance , try a facelifted 7er.

Yep, I'll try to try one... But it mainly is my father that looks for these cars, not me.
However, I sat in the W221 S-Class... Those metal buttons are just so beautiful, that is a car that is brilliantly made! The finition is, from what I've seen, flawless and the better I've ever seen. Metallic buttons, that is something astonishing...

This car MUST HAVE th rear smoked glass!whit normal glass is less attractive...And I have to say that the rims are very ugly and this can easily compromise the global design of the car,specially the Li series..

The 7er feels infinitely spacious. More so than any other big German sedan I've ever sat in. It's a great feeling, similar to the W140 experience I had a few years ago.

Anyway, 7ers are a dime a dozen here because its 3L I6 and its low price are a lethal combination.

Good review BMW-Owner and I absolutely agree that there is nothing "wrong" per se with the car. The interior is definitely amazing and even the exterior doesn't look ugly or japanese in any sense (though this aspect is subjective). I do find the iDrive argument true though. I'm used to the 5 iDrive and I must say that it is just infinitely better to use than the one in the 7. I think I had mentioned this somewhere else and I still stand by it. The one in the 7 is just really horrendous and though I learnt how to use the seat controls really quickly, it is absolutely unnecessarily complicated and I know how people would complain so.

Nice review man. While I admit, it's not an ugly car, it's definitely not the prettiest either. I actually like the rear of the pre-facelift version more. But overall, it's a great car and you can't go wrong with one.

It might be ugly in someone's eyes and people can bitch about iDrive as much as they want, but competitors followed the trend.

Precisely. IMO, the interior of the new S Class & even elements of the exterior have been copied...this car set the pace in 2002 when it first arrived (U.S.)...now Benz & Audi are trying to keep up I believe. I'm excited to see what BMW will put out next with the upcoming model!!!
