Although an Alpina B7 Coupé from 1982, it carries the relaxed impression of BMW from this time. Side windows are quite big vertically, when compared with recent cars. I wonder if this is one reason why it looks so classic?

For example, the recent S-Class Coupé has an completely different front and think it will only be designed with the specific character of a sports car in mind. What about a different car, you say? Well, the 2-door Coupé with the same front as the Sedan from that period is not the same, and think it may have a unique character all of it’s own.

That said, whether the design of both the 7 Series and S Class is as good as it once was, theres no doubt that they have subtlety.
