The arrival of this model heralded a new look-and-feel era for BMW, the work of chief designer Chris Bangle, with bold visual cues that did not premier on the scene without noted controversy from E38 community. The E65/E66 seems to be gaining favor after its colorful arrival, and it appears to be the gatekeeper for look-and-feel cues of future BMW models yet to come. The "bangle-butt" back look-and-feel has been especially controversial, and was toned down in a 2005 restyling.
The most hight-priority innovation contained in the 7 is also the most controversial one: the Idrive system. While able to manage a lot of functions -- on-board telematics, including GPS navigation, Internet access and the new BMW Assist system (for emergencies), as well as climate and audio functions -- Idrive has a steep learning curve. General adjustments can be made rather easily.
