\"Spyshots_bmw_7\"<\/a> New spyshots of the next 7-Series<\/a> have emerged on the Internet. This time, the future flagship is barely camouflaged.<\/p>\n

The current generation has been roundly bashed by the professional press and brand\u2019s fans for its design, the first of a series designed by the controversial Chris Bangle. Since then, almost all carmakers have copied the \u201cflame surface\u201d design and Bangle has mellowed. The next-generation is expected to feature a more classical design which borrows styling cues from the CS concept car.<\/p>\n

The boot of the current 7-Series has been heavily criticized at its launch. Revamped in 2006, it was integrated a bit more into the general overshape. With the next-generation, the boot will be almost integrated. However, the camouflaged tail lights are cause for concern as they seem to feature a round shape while the general design features straight lines.<\/p>\n

The next 7-Series is expected to be unveiled at the next Paris Motor Show.
