When I was in BMW Auckland yesterday looking at the new M850i and happened to see the same car parked outside. You could see the big black edges around the windows and the windows did look like they were very thick.

The tyres were these which have a huge load rating and Michelin's runflat system.

Does the F01 7-Series really look that "old" to these people? I guess compared to the newer one, sure. But come on, it still looks very modern. I am a staunch Capitalist, but this consumerist mindset really bothers me sometimes. They are calling a 5 year old BMW an "old BMW"....
