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

[Design FIRST]

Clear the front end up via Gemini:

This looks very attractive IMHO. The silly, buck-toothed grimace has been wiped-off the face of the G70.
This shows a chisled and determined face.

If it turns out like this, I think it will look pretty darn good. I can`t wait to see the reveal.

This is a welcome update. Already looking more cohesive than the current front end.

And that looks like the non m-sport trim?

 

[MAJESTIC]

I love how blunt it is. She isn't pretty by far, but she has mega-presence and that is what maters in this class.

He was pretty much on the money.

Maybe the front end is a bit too edgy and sharp compared to the rest of the car (which will remain practically unchanged)… for now, I think I’ll prefer the current one (which has a slightly more rounded front end).

That said, I personally prefer the Pure Excellence version — I’m not a fan of the M Package. This leak shows the M Package again, so I’ll wait for the Pure Excellence before making a proper judgment.

Am I a fan of vertical headlights? Yes — I would be, if this were an S-Class (as Robert Lešnik told me during the W222 presentation, they actually wanted to introduce them, but the board rejected the idea due to the financial crisis, saying it would appear too aristocratic for the situation at the time).
With the 7 Series, however, I prefer horizontal headlights, as they make the car look sleeker and wider.

But yes, we’ll have to wait for more images — and especially to see the car in person.

I still stand by what I said before: the philosophy of the G70 is completely different (the car needs to be bold and aristocratic, in a Rolls-Royce style), compared to something like the E38 (which was elegant, low, wide, and genuinely sporty).

Much better looking than the current front end

Still has high standards for the GKL-Klasse. But the LCI will elevate it.
Interesting how the reboot of the Matrix has brought back the old rivalry of just Munich vs Stuttgart in Luxury Sedans. Now that Ingolstadt, Coventry and Modena have now all but withdrawn.
