BMW fired the guy who designed the 7 series due to a LARGE drop in sales and complaints from consumers, and they are already talking about redesigning the 7 series. Oh, that same idiot designed the new 5 series
You're right, they are going to dial back the design of the 7 series. However, the new guy in charge of design, Chris Bangle, isn't going anywhere. They haven't fired him and the new 7 is actually selling MUCH better than the old 7 ever did. I agree with you, it's ugly as sin, but the car itself drives amazingly well and the sales are reflecting that.
