Audi and BMW are in a unique situation/position. Mercedes almost had to come out with the new S-Class, they needed a standout flagship because they no longer have Maybach. With having Bentley and Rolls Royce, Audi and BMW aren't pressured to really come out with something that is close to what the S-Class is as long as it's appropriately updated to what they currently have and if you want that extra notch of luxury, step up to one of the lower Bentley's and Rolls Royce models.

As much as I want the 7-Series to become what the S-Class is to Mercedes, I don't think it's going to happen based on the earlier pictures we've seen. There's no doubt it will fit in as a next-generation model but I don't think it will have that extra sparkle, at the end of the day, BMW still wants the 7-Series to be a drivers car.
