Facelifted 7 Series

I heard a whisper that details of the facelifted 7 series have been given to
BMW dealers today. Anyone got any details?

Cheers

I keep seeing a V12 7-Series in my neighbourhood. Looks pretty impressive
to me. The Merc CLS might give it a run for its money, though... :-)

I saw 2 CLSs in Stuttgart last Fall. One was in classic Merc Brilliant
Silver and was quite stunning...and then there's the AMG model, really
nice.

However, I thought the CLS interior is derived from the the current
E-Klasse. If that's true then the 7er should be more roomy, especially
in "iL" format - which is really the model to have a 7er in.

You are probably right - I was thinking more about the appearance,
especially from the side.

What took you to Stuttgart? Collecting a car...?...

Well, I wish. I was actually in Germany on business and it was a good
location for me to pick up my rental and I had always wanted to see the
town. it's a really nice place nestled in a gentle valley. I think
the word "gem=FCtlich" would be an apt description, very livable.

Yes, the whole south is very pleasant. Also the home of sunrise industries
like electronics. Not to mention that troika: Merc, BMW and Porsche.

In 1986 I took delivery of a W124 230E there. On arrival at the airport the
taxi driver knew to where to take me even before I had finished the
sentence...the majority of taxi clients wanted Merc or IBM... (Stuttgart is
the HQ of IBM Deutschland.)

Maybe you're in electronics (even if you didn't actually do your business in
Stuttgart)?

the word "gemütlich" would be an apt description, very livable.

Yes, although I did not see a preponderance of local Mercedes vehicles
I did get the impression Merc and IBM were very much central to the
local economy... and no, I was not there on high-tech business. :#)
