I still don't get why they didn't do anything (almost) to the interior. As far as I know about customer data in that segment, there would have been a big opportunity there.

I'm shocked how many leaks there are. BMW's corporate security is not very effective.

More like @klier is very good at sneaking through security.

I was expecting BMW to put the new "diamond/laser cut" air flow, temp & radio buttons. And the new knob + start up removed from the dash. Sigh... The exterior had me so excited (so excited just for LCI lol) but the interior turned me off so much... They did so much on the exterior, but didn't really bother with the interior? Were my expectations too high/unrealistic or?

Never rely on CGI images look how good that bumper looks IRL.

I’m probably in the minority, but I’m glad BMW kept the interior as is ...it’s going to age quite well. I’m not a fan of the look of the new BMW live cockpit.

I am not very fond of the clean, "puristic" approaches to the front end (also seen on the new 3er as well). While elegant and understated, it is a rather minimal design exercise compared to the pre-LCI standard version. I would have rather preferred to see the X7 front end treatment applied to the 7er LCI.

I wonder if the Design Pure Excellence package (if it is retained as an option) will get a more powerful, beefier treatment, while also looking ultra luxurious. Anyway, I will also miss the LED fog lights, even though I know I might in a minority. For me, they were another signature element of the BMW 7 Series, like on mostly any other BMW model.

To me it looks like that is the design pure excellence with all the chrome bits.

The S is not a newer but an older model than the 7er. S was introduced in spring 2013 and the 7er in summer 2015.

Did't the S received a facelift in 2017?

This thing's just begging for some Fanta Grape decals.

Yes, it did in summer 2017. New model is expected in 2020.

Looks like @Centurion wins this round.
I was certain they'd update the interior, but it looks like they couldn't bother.

I understand that they didn't put more money into this. Its a sinking ship with a large nose..lol

That's the colour I saw at my preview.

Bmw 7 series is comming. I love.

At least it gets the new edge instrument cluster and iDrive 8. Overall, the interior is what is expected it to be: Virtually untouched to give the successor room to shine.

The new 7 series.

I am very glad they didn<t touch the interior. The current interior is great and having more than one interior theme is good.
