You Say You Want a Revolution? Too Bad, Here's Your 2009 7-Series Instead

Thanks to the miracle of Flickr and free email accounts, we can now present to you the first tiny pictures of the all-new BMW 7-series, sent across the vast expanse of the Internet well in advance of its offical reveal this Saturday morning.

Riding atop BMW's new F01/F02 (SWB/LWB) architecture — the first of many new Bimmers to drop the Exx nomenclature — the new 7 has integrated cues first seen on the Concept CS, including its snub nose, larger kidney grilles, and reverse-raked front fascia. Its side profiles have more complicated, yet less overwrought, surface detailing, and the rear loses the controversial "overbite" trunk cutline in favor of a traditional opening. Check out more pictures in our forums, and look back for the high-res photos and full press release from BMW once we have to go-ahead to post everything.
