now you play ball your way and i play it my way.. im just saying that i wont say to those who vote or buy other cars than the 7er that they dont understand the philosphy..
i personally dont understand it..the car is wierd from the start.. and the facelift to me is a desparate attempt to tone down the wierd factor..

the only good thing the 7er has done for BMW imo is the start of a new era wich has given bmw an image of being a very avantgarde brand.. other than that the car in it self is a wierdo..
....
now the new S also has some design features that are somewhat wierd at the start..but things have set in realativly fast and ppl like it alot.. but the 7er is a diffrent animal.. imo design wise they got it wrong with this car..
but by no means is it a bad car.. this is the highest class of sedans.. and these 3 are the best of what 3 of world best brands have to offer..
in other words a 7er allthough the wierdest and not the best car in this group is still better in everyway than 90% of all cars on sale today..

How about/repost:

Quote:

1. This is, by far, the best selling 7er of all times.(=bigest revenues and profits)

2. It was to only 7er/competitor to surpass the S klasse as far as sales go.

3. It is also the most influential car BMW has made since the 2002/3er
in several ways (such as interior and exterior design, IDrive system etcetera).

4. Whereas the 7er would follow behind the S klasse (think ABS and such), now for a while it lead the pack.

5. No matter how much the biased/blinded Merc fans try to spin it about the W221 interior DNA/design theme, the simple fact is that IT'S A COPY of the E65 7 series, and it is the greatest proof of the (temporary) Leadership of the E65.

I also think Golf is just as good and fun as a A3. I rather take a R32 over a A3 3.2

Well a golf is near enough a A3. Same chassis.

What year was the passat and audi as the new ones drive very differently, especially if the audi had quattro. FWD audi's are a bit lacking though. Id never buy one unless it was a A3 or TT.

the passat is a 2006 and A4 was the facelifted version and the 1.8 the old version.
