2017 G30 5-Series parked outside my apartment

Esquire4689 · 08-07-2015, 07:21 PM

Correction: This is the new 7-series.

Pulled into Hoboken, NJ today and found this sitting right down the street from my apartment - 2017 7-Series. The updated sedan seems much larger than the outgoing model. As you can see in the pictures, the new 7 is also vastly differently in the electronics and comfort department. Updates come in the form of: additional front end cameras, more luxurious leather with contrast stitching, reclining rear seats with center console control, advanced LED headlights, Bowers and Wilkins audio, and panoramic sunroof. Enjoy the photos. I'm definitely excited to pick one of these up once they're released!

Nice! Thx for the pics. But I think that may be the new 7 series

You think so? It's possible.

It's possibly the new 7 from the quality of the seats alone.

It just sucks the new series lost the flare and curves on the sides.

That's a G11 (new 7 series) not the new 5 series.

Beautiful seats. Hideous aluminum/chrome dash accents.

Ehhhh... I think it's gonna have to grow on me? The interior doesn't look sporty but more like luxury for people who don't care for the sporty look. Like this is what I would want if I was looking into a 7 series....this kinda makes me feel like I'm driving an old mans car and I'm referring to the interior. As far as the body I can't tell because of all the graphics that's going on so I'll wait to give my opinion on that later.

It IS a 7 series, not the new 5 series.

Other than a stock with which to play hockey, what is a "hockey stick"?

It's that detail design that extends from the rear of the front wheel well towards the rear; at the rocker panel level. It's the camouflaged part in picture #2. Looks a bit like a hockey stick; or a modified NIKE swoosh.

I hate the way BMW is taking the "sporty" look away from their cars
