                  I am in Laos and the car is in Chesterfield, UK. I am receiving limited info via email and Instagram (scoobyclinic). I received the image today, which I posted, but none of the Dyno data. The car is now to be driven on local roads at engine rpm < 3000 for 1000 miles. I am due to collect the car mid Feb.

                    The one on my old Impreza was shocking. Sounded like Road Runner with a lung full of helium. Think it’s a Japanese thing.

                        New 7 series: meh. I like its silhouette but not its front. I feel like the grill is disproportionately huge for a BMW.

                            Maybe this belongs in unpop ops but I really dig the new BMW design language. While it’s missing the sleek designs of years past, it brings back a gritty allure than originally drew me to the brand on comparison to merc and Audi

                              That 7 Series looks more like a Lincoln than a Bimmer.

                              BMW periodically have design misses. For instance, the angular styling the introduced around the 2003 timeframe wasn't terribly attractive. Usually the marquis marques make slow, understated changes, so when they don't, it is jarring. Even Rolls-Royce is guilty of this with cars that share that Chrysler-esque grill (understanding that the mimicry goes both ways).

                              I think Mercedes have been pretty good about iterating on designs and retaining a balance between familiarity of design language and making the prior model years look dated. Not an easy thing to do, but one expects it of BMW. Disappointing miss.

                              Think it, be it.

                                Good point buddy. I hadn't really noticed it until now. I will either move it or do as LB suggested and install a better horn.

                                  We are so looking forward to collecting the car. We elected to let the garage do the 1000 mile run-in so they can address any issues. Also, it works out that when we get back home to UK the car should be dialed in [emoji106]

                                    Good thinking.

                                    You’ve also given yourself something to take the sting out of heading back to wintery England after sunny adventures.

                                    Double good thinking.

                                      i agree. i can't say on that i hate the bmw design language as a whole. their new 3 series is looking bloody good. can't wait to have a look at the m3 this/next year. on the other hand. the 7 series kidney grill is a let down. the first couple of iterations of the Gseries 7 was really strong then came the X7 and i feel they're going down a slippery slope.

                                      Merc's design have been alright lately. it's their interior design that i hate the most. to nit pick, the two silver slabs of controls on the steering wheel and the double 12in screen is something that i hate. it almost feels like no thought went into it and someone just went "well, why not put two TVs there"

                                        That new 7 series snout is over the top to me.  The nostalgic portion of me misses the "selling the same sausage in three different lengths" simplicity of earlier generations.  Most Bangle era BMW designs were met with hatred when they were introduced but have actually aged surprisingly well in my eyes.
