The BMW online configurator from Germany and Switzerland has just leaked some more images of the upcoming BMW 7 Series Facelift. The unveil is scheduled for 5AM Eastern Time on Wednesday, but it’s likely that more photos will pop-up before that.

These new images show the M760Li model, along with the 745Le plug-in hybrid. In the set, there are also some real life images of an M760Li as well and surprisingly, a partial image of the interior design.
Just like in the previous leaks, the new kidney grilles stand out with their large size, as they are on the X7, yet bold and aggressive looking. Judging by these shots, the large grilles, new headlights and hood lines give the new 7er a very aggressive and muscular look.
Unfortunately, not much has changed on the inside. The only real changes inside the 7 Series are to its screens. Replacing its gauge cluster is the same new digital instrument panel as the X7 and its iDrive is upgraded to the new model from the X7 as well. Also, the rear passenger screens are now touch-sensitive. The one difference we can spot in these images is the updated iDrive system, and some extra buttons on the steering wheel.
Stay tuned for our 7 Series Facelift coverage, we will have lots of videos and photos to share with you.

Okay, I’ll admit it, these pictures do look appealing compared to the previous leaks.
Interior looked outdated from the very star of g11….
I think these wrap over the nose grilles will be so dated in 5 years they will be called flat out ugly.
You know what, I can imagine that in the future… it doesn’t look good at all.
I see they actually put some effort into these tail lights unlike the 3-series.
3er are simple & gorgeous.
Hmm… I don’t know where these pics have come from, but that interior isn’t accurate. Although the facelift interior looks similar, something isn’t quite right with this one…
How would you expect it to look?
Do you have some insider information?
Without all the brushed chrome and shiny bits. It looks more classy. I’m sure someone will spec theirs without it and you’ll see what I mean. It looks different and much better
It is accurate. We have all the official photos already
It’s the steering wheel. I’ve seen it without the shiny controls. It looks better and less bling.
So they spent all the money on the exterior then? left the interior boring as…
less boring and more useful than your comment..
Not my job to keep you amused
Individual, you haven’t seen the possibilities.
they cant change the interior its only LCI not a brand new model
It looks ok, but I’m not really liking the giant grill combined with the giant air intakes. The same goes for the new X5 with the M sport body kit.
I just discovered an exclusive picture of the G12 successor (2023) directly from the prototype studio

Again, I don’t mind big grills but two things are annoying. 1) US plates will most definitely cover up the grills, and can’t be located any lower due to the radar sensors, making things look even worse. 2) We can clearly see that the grill is way too tall vertically by the plastic pieces that intersect the hood lines, this just shows they could have made a better looking grill that isn’t as tall, while this doesn’t matter to me as I’m not buying a 7 series ever, I hope only this and the X7 will have that large of a grill, I think cars like the X3/5 and 3/5 series have a good size grill that doesn’t need to go any larger. On the positive side, love the new taillights and combined light bar and chrome strip
I will buy a 7. I generally like the new look.
A car of this size and magnitude needs to be imposing and have road presence.
The current 7 looks elegant and sporty, but not imperious and intimidating.
But you’re right, this look needs to be reserved for the top-end vehicles. They need to be meaningfully differentiated from the cars down the line.
Guys, look @ 3er, X7, the over the top (so to speak) of the hoodline grilles are the new corporate look. BMW have been doing tall kidneys since the ’30’s, why let the Johnny come lately wannabes steal their thunder? These still look better than Lexus or Audi.
