It's a spec dependant facelift. This spec is good and so is the all black ones. All other look too busy at the front, lacking in clarity on where your eyes should focus.![]()

The first and only time I liked M performance goodies were on the F30s.
Good point. It's an extremely bold and ambitious LCI for what unlikely amongst their 5 top selling models.This is a massive LCI and must have cost BMW billions. This LCI looks almost like a completely new model. Its going to take me some time to get used to that front, the split lights has me scratching my head. I like the changes to the rear light graphics, they look terrific.
I didn't expect such a huge change in the interior, its almost a completely new dash, with new vents and infotainment screen as well as center console.
I like the interior changes, BMW seem to be improving the perceived quality of all items in detail. The speaker grills above the left and right vents are quite unusual. They look like they could be 3D printed.

Definitely won't be instantly identifiable as a BMW from a distance... unless maybe if the glowing grille is on as well.
The FL looks alright. But the pre-FL version was a good looking one, and the new face doesn't feel like an upgrade necessarily. The inside is much better, save for that piece of plastic over the glovebox with the glow lights.
These are the vents for the side windows. They look rather cheap and totally out of place. No other part there has the same pattern.

I think BMW is the first German brand to go the split light route, but other brands like Hyundai, Citroen, Chevrolet, Ford, Skoda and even MG have gone full in as well. It must be the new trend in car design.
Those air vent buttons made of actual aluminium are a work of art. The movement of them is well damped and solid. Real quality.The strange thing is - I can live with the new exterior design. But the interior... No buttons? I like buttons. Leave them alone! BMW has IX to make a "buttonless" car. And that cheap black plastic strip with backlight. I could expect such element in a Hyundai Creta. Not in an X7.
