The pictures are warped, blame it on the iphone

Looks more like a 7 to me...

Deda · 03-06-2009, 04:08 AM

nice catch!

Year's_End · 03-06-2009, 04:23 AM

yo that looks like an F01 for sure.

to_riffic · 03-06-2009, 11:24 AM

look at that bangled ass. i'm sure its a 7 series too

methodtim · 03-06-2009, 11:35 AM

Why would they be testing a 7? Those are already out on the market. That said, I do agree it looks like a 7, judging by the shape of the tailpipes.

It's either a 7 or the 5 just got huge.

Robert · 03-06-2009, 01:59 PM

Btw the horizontal reflector or the strip of light on the trunk similar to the old 7 is screwed on to the facade. I thought they did this purposely to give that impression. The size is about the size of a 5.

Looks like a 7 series, or the 5 series on steroids.

It looks like a 7 Series to me.

Been seeing a caravan off BMW's testing all over Malibu/Calabasas the past week. Couple covered up new Z4's as well.

They were probably testing the stop-and-go at 5 mph on the 405.
