    The latest version of the BMW 7 Series luxury saloon is arguably the most identifiable, thanks to a bold new nose featuring a kidney grille that's around 40% bigger than the one on the previous model. The comfortable and elegant Mercedes S-Class has been considered the class-leader in this part of the market for a few years - Ginny finds out whether the 7 Series now has what it takes to change that.

    The size of the grille is not the issue, other manufactures do it as well. It's the fact that the grille goes upwards from the headlamps line, not downwards as it should. Ends up climbing on the bonnet

    Well, the 7 series always was the luxury drivers car, while the S-Class always focussed on maximum passenger comfort. It's the same with the current models. If you want to drive by yourself, go for the 7. If you want to be driven by a chauffeur, go for the S-Class. I hope that it will stay that way, I like it when manufacturers have different approaches to get things done.

      The previous cars had 0 character, totally bland and front ends looked like lizards (Mercedes no better really). This 7 is prime luxury

    I owned a BMW 520d and loved it: but I feel BMW are in a rut with their dashboard design. To me, the middle screen looks as if an iPad has been glued onto the facia as an afterthought. I just don't feel there is a wow factor. The infotainment system is brilliant; and I prefer the rotary dial to the Audi's touchscreen, but I feel that Audi dashboards are far more stylish. I would like to see BMW keep the rotary dial but follow Audi/Mercedes dashboard design cues.

    from the very beginning of this video I could sense your hatred towards BMW, and your favouritism towards Merc. And for the rest of the video we had to listen to you go on and on about how Merc is better than BMW, thats disappointing bcz we came here to learn about this new BMW. Its not uncommon for reviewere to compare rival cars, but they normally use statistics and facts, you were using personal bias in my view, saying things like: the Merc is just nicer, or the Merc has always been better, or such. Such continuous comparison of immeasurable preferences really ruins car reviews
