I believe it sold, because it did have more presence and technology vs the previous.

BMW does somewhat care about critics, or they would not have so returned more to traditional evolution and style the new 7, Z4 and new 5 the way they did.

I would have never bough a car the size of the 7 series (just looked too big). But the new 7, looks sweet and drives like a smaller car. I would buy it. Same for the new 5.
I did'nt like the design of the E65 either, although as you say, BMW seems at least be somewhat receptive to the "feedback", which is good.

And for those guys here saying they now missed Bangle, well I don't know, maybe this was some kind of unintended karma?! You want Bangle gone? Fine, but you know what they say, be careful what you wished for because it just might be true...
