7 Series (G70/G71/G73) [Rumors] BMW (G70) 7-Series Facelift (Spy pics & info)

[Matski]

I think it's being flattered by sitting unusually low on its suspension in most pictures, and I think the actual profile of the front will barely change.

I am not concluding anything whatsoever here. It is just an observation. Without a comparative photo of at least 90-95% for comparison, the differences will most likely come across as the same. The changes are subtle and will add a touch of sportiness to the rather stogy conservative look of the pre-LCI. If I am correct.

Of course I did. Big change in "persona" and down-the-road image but no fundamental change to proportions, silhouette etc. Body panels are body panels...

History has it BMW has made sheet metal changes and it appeared on the 2020 7-Series LCI.
The hood line on the 2020 LCI 7er is a bit taller and much flatter than the 2016 model giving it a more luxury car appearance.
The nose is also flatter on profile than the previous version. These were big changes IMO.
With the new LCI, the designers are going to play with the hood and front end like before.

THE 7 seems to be the anomaly. A Life Cycle Impulse usually requires no sheet metal changes. An example is the X7 amongst others. Yes it has a more dramatic facia than the original but the facelift is created using the same front wings from the original. Although you wouldn’t think it.

You and @klier are absolutely correct. I am happy to be wrong as this is the first BMW LCI I’ve heard of getting new body panels. Learn something new everyday. Now let’s see if the same happens for G70 LCI.

There has been some LCIs with metal body changes.

E53 LCI -> New hood and front fenders
E38 LCI -> New front fenders
E46 LCI -> New front fenders
E90 LCI -> New hood and trunk
E60 LCI -> New trunk
E65 LCI -> New hood and front fenders
E70 LCI -> New front fenders (okey, these are plastic at the E7x but still)
G11 LCI -> New hood and front fenders

I expect some NK styling cues on FL. Probably grille pattern simmilar to new X3

Auditioning for the reboot of “The Cars That Ate Paris”

The car in the spy shot had horizontal slats so I don’t think the grille pattern will look like this

And I doubt they will be connected. Will probably be totally divided like on the new X3.

Yes it was an M760e. Looks like THE 7 M Performance models will inherit the horizontal bars.

What will that model be called and will it sit above the M60?

What's with this premiere stuff? That thumbnail is from a video already on the web.

The model that sits above the M60 is the i7 M70

Looks as if the LED stripe had been removed and now the car only had the lower headlights.

Probably just a temporary thing.
