We've spied an advanced 7 Series LCI facelift prototype and it's looking like the reveal is coming in the very near future.

The refreshed 7 Series' biggest change will be to the front fascia. Full LED headlights will come to the 7 series for the first time, with the turn signal lights now integrated into the eyebrow. We can now also make out a more aggressive lower bumper, with more pronounced and longer splitter fins on the lower lip, in an overall look similar to the BMW Concept 7 Active Hybrid from 2008.

The Kidney grilles receive a thicker and more pronounced grille surround and the side mirrors now incorporate side indicator lights.

The interior does not show too many cosmetic changes. What we see is that the trim surrounding the navigation screen has been updated slightly. But the refreshed 7 series may be the first BMW model to receive the upcoming optional touchpad iDrive dial (not seen in this prototype), which we spotted not too long ago on the next generation X5 prototype.

The refreshed 7 series may very well debut soon at the 2012 Auto China show in Beijing in under two weeks.
