Couldn't agree more. When the new 7 was unveiled with its "new interior" I was left was disappointment. Sure it looks more elegant than the F65 but it was lifted directly from the X5! In the current lineup all the interiors were unique to each car, but had similarities (same goes for the cars in the 80's and 90's). However, with the 7 and now 5GT its all the same pity.
As for exterior, I am going to say it. I miss Bangle's designs. Sure they were controversial but IMHO I think they worked and they only got better with each model. These new models, the jury is still out. I still can't get over how similar the F01 front end and headlights look to the E60 5er headlights and front end. Just my 2 cents...
