Visually, it's better than the 7 series to me in facelift form with AMG body treatment. I think BMW should produce a nice M kit for the 7. Especially since Audi have also created the S8.

BMW do have the best interior though over it's rivals. I cant wait to see the AMG against the 760Li.

Much better. But for me, it's hard to justify the price gap between the S63 and S65 when the exterior looks just about the same except for the wheels, diffuser, and exhaust tips despite it being a lot more powerful

Really??? Better then Audi?

I haven't sat inside of a 7 series, maybe it's a lot better than the 3'er and 5'er.

Hot! And yes, the interiors of these do look better than Audi's. You guys hype up Audi interiors so much on here. I love the stance on these beasts as well.

Garduna · 04-13-2009, 01:52 PM

Looks really promising!!! Exterior wise, I'm not digging the audi-ish led lights./ Everything else is great tho. The interior looks fantastic as well. Seriously tho, S63 all the way, for the extra cash for a S65....u could easily do more with it.

I prefer most Audi interiors but on this occasion the new 7 looks more fresh/modern than the A8 interior.

But the Audi hasnt been updated since 2003, so once the new model comes out this is of course subject to change!

True...and if the new interiors are anything to go by it should be great.

It's nice, but I'm not sure if I like it more than the F01. To me, Mercedes only did one thing when it came to a facelift: add more bling.

It's just pumped up too much for an S Class. In my opinion, there's too much useless stuff going on, like the diffuser, rockers and corners of the front bumper. How much chrome and how many lights can you jam in a headlight? Seriously.

It does look aggressive, I'm just not sure if they executed it as tastefully as they could have. Maybe I'll change my opinion like how I did with the SL.

It's definitely much better than the 3/5er. Provided you get the right options, I found that the interior is a smidge better than the outgoing A8's and S550's, but that's only by the smallest of margins. I'm positive that the new gen MB and Audi will outclass the F01 when they roll around. I don't think BMW did their best with this new interior.

My main problem centered around the front passenger part of the dash. It doesn't look all that luxurious, nor did it look very clean. I was impressed with everything else though, especially the flow found in the door panels.

1cleanm6 · 04-13-2009, 03:13 PM

disgustingly sick!!!

sickest luxury sedan around

7 series a8 whatever has no game next to it...

If i was ever in market for a sedan like this, the S would be my choice anyday

The interior of the benz is the nicest also.

Props to mercedes, there top end models shit on bmws.

DrunkOnJ20 · 04-13-2009, 03:23 PM

Absolutley awesome. Love it.

so the bling does work after all.

The headlights look like pieces of jewelry or something, way too much going on inside there. Otherwise they look pretty nice. I don't think the rims on the S63 (the multi-spoke ones, I assume that's the S63) look meaty enough though, they look dainty.

I dont like the fact that Merc use the same body treatment on all AMG models. I think most AMG models look brilliant when they first come out but over time they start to age really quickly. That said I think a lot of the new AMGs wont age so quick.

I still prefer the way BMW create unique designs for every model. M models tend not to age in my opinion. I'm still a huge fan of the E46 M3!

Deda · 04-13-2009, 04:56 PM

looks very powerful!

Spec 1 · 04-13-2009, 05:21 PM

Wow.

<--Impressed.

That S63 is siiiiiiiick with the spokes!!! If the new Alpina B7 wern't coming I'd agree this is the sickest luxury sedan available. Well, perhaps it will be for the moment.
