As for my comments on the render it looks more GT-ish than Gran Coupe like.

This is spot on, the current cars are sold on there Idrive, phone apps , black flat displays and variations of wood interiors, I have yet to hear a sales man talk about the DRIVE!
I have an opinion (IMHO) The 7 drives like the 5 and the 6, they are centres of excellent for all areas but not driving.
Here in the UK the Co2 figures are everything, so 90% of UK BMs are underpowered diesel examples, great cars, fuel efficent,BUT SHIT.
Ultimate driving machine, NO!
I have owned 7,6,5,X3,X6,X6M,X5 and M3 all current designs. Only last week took out a 6Grand Coupe 640d Msport, gave the keys back thinking its a sleeker 7, with a compromised comfort for a 6,4 guy.
Lets have the next generation, drivers cars and have the sales guys talking about the' drive ' not the apps you get on the i drive.
I want to change my M3 for 4 door car, love the X5 and X6s but we have one already, so thats leaves ??????????
Come on BMW lets please the accountants and the older BMW drivers with a passion for that drivers edge.
