X7 BMW X7: Spy Pics & Info

[klier]

It's only a minimal change but with a big effect.

My point exactly

A German SUV with a V12 instead of V8 quad turbo in 2017?

I don't believe it.

Start believing it. The chance we see the V12 in the X7 is around 99.99%
And a quad turbo V8 doesn't even exist (from BMW at least)

BMW is going to put the V12 in the X7, and MB will follow suit with their next gen GLS.

It'll be something like this in the end:

The left kidney is a bit better LOL

It's very American in size isn't it? It begs the question whether it will be sold in Europe at all.

Is the GLS sold in Europe?

It'll be something like this in the end:

Or maybe something like this:

Is the GLS sold in Europe?

Yes.

 

[chonkoa]

Then expect the X7 to be sold in Europe as well.
Just my worthless two cents.

Maybe like this...

edit: As per @tomazino suggestion...

 

[tomazino]

Maybe like this...

I think that upper side of kidneys is above headlights...try to move grille little up, as on my render...

Yes, I agree actually, I edited the above pic accordingly.

Believe it. X7 is to be the 7er of luxury SUVs. And that also includes a strict four seater and that also means the status of the 7er will be reflected with a V12.

Very nice @Matski and @tomazino. Pretty much exactly like I think it'll end up!

And your chop looks amazing Matski. I'd be happy with a similar result.

If you have time, one small correction...try to resize that VFL kidney, but only horizontally....they need to be not so wide....look where are the point of connection between kidneys and headlights:

this is markers on your img:

Done, I've adjusted the headlamps to reach the kidneys, and desaturated them, because the X2 blue X's were distracting. Edited the post above.

 

[klier]

Too round...

 

[tomazino]

one more idea

 

[Rainer271]

one more idea

The headlights are more VFL-like. My personal winner.

 

[klier]

I agree, but the ones of the X2 looks nice too! Grille is too round though!

 

[tomazino]

Later, I`ll make some adjustment to the grille....

 

[Matski]

Ah, one last tweak, then I'm giving up...

I don't see them doing the full VFL treatment on the headlamps.

 

[SCOTT27]

You seem to be getting somewhere here.
