Already previewed by a handful of concepts, and set to soon premiere on the second-generation iX3, the long-awaited new design era for the brand should make its vehicles much easier on the eye. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/bmw-7-series\/\">7-Series<\/a> is among the models being refreshed and this is our best chance to see it up close.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you ask this writer, the 7-Series is perhaps the single ugliest car that BMW currently builds. The split headlights and gargantuan kidney grilles make it look a little like a knock-off. The upcoming mid-cycle facelift, however, seems to correct course, with a redesigned grille that&rsquo;s been scaled back for a more balanced and cohesive look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/08\/bmw-760i-suffers-massive-depreciation\/\">This Flagship BMW Lost Nearly $50K Before Most People Would Make The First Oil Change<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/03\/bmws-7-series-is-getting-a-neue-klasse-look\/\">Despite the camouflage<\/a>, we can see that the upper portion of the kidneys are now solid high-gloss black, with the panel on the right housing a small camera. Positioned beneath them are the grilles, now rocking horizontal ratherbslats rather than vertical slats.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>The Other Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most of BMW&rsquo;s Neue Klasse models will be characterized by slim headlights that join seamlessly with the grilles. It&rsquo;s hard to know if this will be the case with the 7-Series, but the camouflage appears to indicate the sedan will retain split headlights just like the car currently on sale. Whether this will look cohesive when combined with the new grille remains to be seen when Munich officially unveils its revamped executive sedan.<\/p>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baldauf<\/h4>\n<p>From the side, the facelifted sedan shows little change, and the overall rear silhouette looks familiar. Even so, fresh alloy wheel designs are expected, and the taillights have been revised with reshaped LED signatures that sharpen the car&rsquo;s appearance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interior Possibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/05\/bmw-expands-2024-lineup-with-new-i4-and-7-series-models\/\">the current 7-Series<\/a> lacks in exterior beauty, it makes up for it with a stunning interior. Updates will be made to the cabin of this new model. Though no cabin shots have surfaced, the sedan may adopt BMW&rsquo;s new Panoramic Vision system, which replaces the current twin-screen setup with a full-width display. This feature is set to debut first on the production Vision Neue Klasse X SUV. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Rear passengers will retain their luxuries, including the available 31-inch, 8K fold-down cinema screen and individual &nbsp;5.5-inch color touchscreen controls integrated int o passenger door handles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Powertrain Continuity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under the skin, changes are expected to be modest.
