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

[Centurion]

I really like it. They’ve fixed almost everything that felt off in the pre-facelift, except for the rear lights and the interior screen. The front looks much more aggressive now,it gives off a real “king of the jungle” presence.

Yupp. The front end is fixed and the slim headlights and illuminated kidneys give off RR vibes. I am glad that BMW haven't been lazy and simply copy and pasted design elements from the NK on to this car. It's not a Frankenstein facelift like the X7.

Bring on the Alpina version, it will be a stunner.

It's just the passenger screen that really irks. Thank goodness it's likely optional. It's even worse than Audi's.

The interior was as expected - ruined. The exterior design is an upgrade from the predecessor.

But what the hell is happens to the mirror design? I guess this is the new M-style direction. They need less drugs in Munich.

Hmmm, I wouldn't go too critical on the interior just yet - this looks really good.

Optional new style door handles on the wing mirrors?

That steering wheel is some sci-fi shit for real. Looks like if you try to execute a three-point turn you will draw back nubs.

At first blush I feel it's a massive improvement overall.

Front does look better, but the rest is just meh… the taillights are way too long, the original shape was fine they could have just played with the graphics. Overall the wheels still look tiny compared to the gigantic features on the front, unfortunately this facelift could not address this problem, looks like a Toyota or Lexus which are famous for always having small wheels/rims and oversized features elsewhere. Anyone seeing Rolls Royce in this car should stop taking drugs.

Interior would be fine if not the Audi style passenger screen, that could have been integrated much much better. Do we know whether its an option, and how does the alternative looks like?

I think the NK style steering wheel are the most over designed and anxiety inducing.

The sight of them is as anxiety inducing at going to someone house and trying to figure out how to reheat food for 2min using their feature-bloated microwave.

Gloss, capacitive and transparency = yuck

 

[azeez samara]

so the interior has lost the light bar in the interior which was the best part of the interior!!!

Yeah but let's not get ahead of ourselves - you've posted an iX3 / i3 steering wheel. Let's wait for the official press pack to pass judgement.

Furthermore, even outgoing BMW steering wheels have as many buttons - nothing too drastic here.

Front end is huge improvement.. taillights however give me 2011 Lincoln MKZ vibes...

Each to their own. For me it was the most gaudy element of that interior - like a discotheque in a car - and thank goodness that's been consigned to the back catalogue.
