I still hate the integration of the screen, but otherwise this car is an absolute home run inside and out. Beautifully done. The current 7-series was already behind the W222 the moment it hit showrooms, now it's no contest.

BMW needs to go back to the drawing board with the 7-series and attempt to design a truly beautiful car inside and out. In my opinion the last 7-series to do it right was the E65 LCI. It looked low, wide, and stately whereas the two generations since look like whales. The current 7-series interior design is lame as well, there's nothing distinctive or special about it. However this Merc interior screen is controversial, so BMW has an opportunity to integrate their tech better.
