In the rarified atmosphere of high-end luxury cars, the rule is simple: don't rock the boat. When it comes to design, the vague sort of "Euro" look of the Lexus LS430 is far more the norm than the exception. So how to explain the new 7-Series from BMW?

Though it's been two decades since Bayerische Motoren Werke rolled out its first top-line sedan, the Teutonic marque has struggled to fully fit into the same league as the sophisticated Mercedes-Benz S-Class. To many, the 7er, as the Germans call it, was always a bit of a poseur, without the right stance and dimensions. The new 7-Series is designed to break down any remaining barriers. It is intended to be the ultimate luxury sedan from the company that boasts of building "the ultimate driving machine."
