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

This is very good, but I liked the one you did a few months ago better; it was more of what I wanted it to be.

The one with the X3 style grille?

The one with the X3 style grille?

It was an imposing frontal rendering based on some drawings.

Absolutely superb work @Uygar.

Okay I remember that one. The grille was gargantuan though, was a bit exaggerated. These ones are closer to the real deal imo.

This CG is a good example of how split head-lights can be done right. The changes are subtle, but meaningful, fixing all that is wrong with the G70 front end.

If only the huge overhang could be fixed too…

Thanks mate. Do you also design, or sketch some stuff in that matter? Judging by your username, I assume you do, or at least interested in it.

We’ll have to wait for the next generation for that one.

Design has always been the aspect regarding automobiles that has interested me most. From the time a was a wee lad up until now as a male senior citizen. As an adolescent, I tried my hand at sketching. Unfortunately, chronic "Mind-to-Hand Gap Syndrome". My "translation software" appears dysfunctional. I cannot create multidimensional sketches worth s**t. Only one dimensional direct side profile views. But I've read an abundance of relevant literature, acquainted myself with a good selection of relevant trade vernacular and can verbally articulate what I like and what I do not like.. I do fart around with text prompt generated KI images-with mixed results.

Ynguldyn's update:

G70 LCI M760 xDrive is confirmed with SOP 3/27, US only for now.

 

[bmwblog]

Bimmerpost reported that the BMW 7 Series LCI production is set to start in July 2026.

Are we going to see the 7 Series LCI soon? If production is slated for July, a May debut would be the perfect timing.

Before. Will soon film it

 

[bmwblog]

Do you guys have any info about the LCI? Especially design wise?

All we knew, we published already.

 

[Esp5]

So March/April will be the months for the i3 and the 7 series, in that order it seems; the year begins for BMW.

My question is:

When will the first upper market segment cars designed under Maximillian Missoni's supervision be officially presented ? As "concepts" as well as production vehicles.

Concept has already been shown with the Concept C. The first production car would have been that in 2027 followed by the A4 EV in 2028. Although with the EV Cayman possibly getting scrapped, Concept C might not make it either.

I believe that you have mistaken Maximillian Missoni with Massimo Fraschetta, Audi's new head of design (and JLR veteran). The Audi Concept C is the first example of the Fraschetta supervised "New Radical" design paradigm. Maximillian Missoni is Polestar's former design chief who has moved to BMW AG as design director for future luxury executive/full luxury segment BMW and ALPINA vehicles.

You mean Massimo Frascella ex Jag land rover design director now Audi design director since June 2024....... Look forward to seeing the next BMW by Maximilian Missoni buy i think we must wait until 2027 IAA Munich

Probably at the earliest in the context of a brand new BMW or ALPINA "concept vehicle". A bit longer in terms of a brand new production vehicle, I suspect.

Missoni, Massimo, Mussolini, Meloni, one for each brand

Yeah my bad I misread

Wow...you've turned it into a last name Minestrone.
