2009 BMW 750Li – The Subtle Seven

2009 BMW 750Li - The Subtle Seven
2009 BMW 750Li - BMW Luxury 7 Series Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
BMW remedies the 7's deadly sins-styling and ergonomics-and returns its 750Li to understated automotive greatness.

What a hard act to follow. The last all-new 7-series, the 2002 745Li, was welcomed into the automotive world with about as much warmth and adoration as a 41-pound newborn baby girl with sixteen middle fingers and a full beard. And it merited about as much media coverage. Incensed enthusiasts on Internet forums called for BMW design director Chris Bangle's head. The BMW faithful stumbled around dealerships breathing into paper bags to allay attacks of hyperventilation. Somewhere, someone passed out at the mere sight of the bulbous trunk lid. OK, perhaps not. But even we shockproof editors at Automobile Magazine were perturbed by the styling.
