What’s Changing?
BMW’s latest prototype for the upcoming mid-cycle facelift of the 7 Series shows changes that are more subtle than radical, but still noticeable. The newly spied model retains its signature split-headlight look, yet features a reshaped, slightly smaller kidney grille with horizontal slats and a sleek blacked-out finish in place of flashy chrome. The headlights, while still slim, are now smaller and more integrated into the fascia. The rear styling receives minor updates—slimmer LED taillights and a redesigned bumper for a sharper appearance.
While the exterior tweaks are mild, BMW is expected to focus much of its facelift attention on the cabin, possibly introducing its new Panoramic Vision widescreen infotainment setup—rumored to be the highlight of this update.
What Critics Are Saying
Less Dramatic—More Refined
Some automotive reviewers note that the changes may feel underwhelming compared to facelifts like the Mercedes S-Class or Audi A8. Yet others appreciate the restraint—calling the tweak a tasteful nod to elegance over flash.
Classic BMW Touch
Long-time BMW fans see this as staying true to the brand’s ethos. Instead of chasing bold design trends, the subtle updates respect the lineage while adding modern flair—highlighting functionality, timelessness, and understated luxury.
