Not really feeling the front bumper, it reminds me of the previous 5 series and wtf is up with that ugly chrome strip on the rear bumper?? I guess it's a good marketing move because more people will fork out money for the m sport package.

Not feeling that chrome strip on the rear bumper either. I do like the "air curtain" front end and those LED headlights. First that I have seen on a 7er. Did the grills get a lot larger? Looks like it.

I like it. It's the right size for a luxury car.

I wish they would have done more with the interior and rear. The new headlights look fantastic, but I like drastic

Not feeling the headlights, why did BMW have to make it look droopy?

can anybody explain to me why all the models get such cool headlights, while the 3 series gets this shitty connected-to-grille style?!
i LOVED the m3 camo pics, where the grilles didn't connect...really do you guys think there will be any chance the 4 series could get different headlights? |

The best BMW headlamps right now are on the 6er, the new LED headlamps on the 7 are cool but they don't flow with the front end or the rest of the car imo. Looks like BMW just slapped on bits and pieces and called it a day. That been said, I do like the standard non-LED headlamps that now come with the 7 because you don't get the piss yellow angel eyes.

Also, it's not that much different from pre-lci. And that chrome bumper strip is auto body shops to make more money on fender bender jobs....

Not really liking the new headlights. Too busy and they look droopy with something like eye drops collected at the bottom. Plus too much chrome everywhere.

I think BMW adds more chrome in their design especially for Chinese market. Chinese loves chrome.

Not the Chinese market.... The Russian market!!!! They chrome wrap everything there... I was in Moscow a few weeks back and saw 4 chrome wrap BMWs... One being an E46 316i and an X5.... Nasty and so wrong.
