Fresh spy shots from Carscoops have surfaced of the facelifted BMW
7-Series wearing very little camouflage and looking much more impressive than
the current model.
BMW designers have
been influenced by many of the brand’s recent concepts in creating the
refreshed 7-Series. With that in mind, we can see part of a larger-than-life
kidney front grille. The grille might not just enjoy aesthetic changes either.
In fact, it appears that the vertical slats are active and could potentially
close to improve aerodynamics.
The headlights and tailights
appear to be significantly slimmer than any current BMW models, perhaps similar
to those from recent 8-Series concept cars. Aggressive bumpers are also visible
at both ends. However, before you get too excited, it’s worth noting that this
prototype is the V12-powered M760i model.
Some changes are
also present in the cabin. For example, there’s a digital gauge cluster that
appears to be plucked directly from the BMW 8-Series Concept. That’s certainly
no bad thing as it is significantly more visually appealing than the digital
display of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class models, for example.
The car will probably arrive towards the end of this
year or in early 2019.
