Lets not bring the rep mobiles into this or things will really get ugly.

Jeremy, the only comparison to the 7 Series here is one person thinking the interior looked, and I quote, “a bit like the one in the 7 Series”. And it does look “a bit like the one in the 7 Series”. Not very much, but a bit. You don’t need to go on a rant, he wasn’t even really talking about this car; he was just worried that Rolls Royces in the future run the risk of becoming more BMW like. And lets face it, they do.

So there isn’t “all this rubbish”, there is one comment and he seemed far more worried about the future than the current state of things. He didn’t even write that he thought they looked alike.

Oh and just so you know, “quiteseentialy” isn’t a word.

100% mate.

Next thing you’ll see posted on these blog is “I could purchase one Ford G6E Turbo and buy a house for the price of one of these”…

Compliments the Phantom perfectly. Back in the 60′s and 70′s, the Silver Clouds and Silver Shadows sat in a price niche below the top of the range Phantom V and IV which were intended for heads of state and the like. I do think that the Ghost will cannibalise some Phantom sales and that BMW ought to expect a shift from SWB to LWB Phantoms. A extended version with leather jump seats to the rear, leather to the front and a high quality west-of-england linen on the rear seats would be fantastic!

What’s all this rubbish about it “looking like a BMW 7-series”??? What kind of armchair motorist makes that kind of value judgement from photos and youtube videos? Have these people sat in a 7 series or a Rolls of ANY description (your wedding hire-car doesn’t count). This is a proper Rolls-Royce, through and through, regardless of who owns and engineered it. The classic Rolls-Royce proportions are kept, and the interior is absolutely spot on, being quiteseentialy old-school with modern conveniences. From the air vents to the door pockets and the dash-board mounted ignition-key slot it remains faithful to Rolls Royce tradition. If one were to nitpick, the electic seat switches show BMW influence and a veneer framed mirror on the D-pillar wouldn’t go astray, but top marks to BMW for allowing it’s designers and engineers to create such a magnificent car that does the Rolls-Royce marque proud.

Thats what i meant in my previous comment. if your going to pay this much for a car youd expect all this equipment to be standard. A Euro Accord has lane departure and blis assist as standard. C’mon just because RR are the most exclusive luxo brand in the world doesnt mean they can rip people off for their cars.
