2020 BMW (G11/G12) 7 Series LCI Facelift LEAKED

KoenG · 01-08-2019, 07:20 PM

Now Adrian Van Hooydonck and his team are on drugs. What a monstrosity of a gril they are imposing on us and our children now! This is so NOT BMW at all!!

Why don't they fire the guy here and now!?

Also, it would have been ok, when they didn't pull the grill above the lights I guess, but apparently, they missed the obvious and they did. Adrian has to be a moron, I knew already back then but they still let him ruin the brand. Ouughhh...

Can't BMW designers turn the whole front in to just grill for super cooling? They wouldn't need intercooler!

Both manufacturer's new models will have full electric options. That being said, development of fully new platform must not be done either. Wireless charging is also coming with these electric/hybrid models. MB is beating BMW to it, as it appears at the moment.

Not entirely my taste, though still way better than when 5 series went from E39 to E60...

It seemed this just came out and already they are at LCI. Compare this to Toyota and Nissan that basically make the same car for over a decade.

What bothers me is that the top of the grille is too high above the headlight.
I did a Photoshop nip/tuck as to what it should be. But than again it's too similar to the current G11 minus the sharp angles.

I'm all for the large imposing grille as long as it's executed properly.

Great job! Looks a lot more balanced!

Remember the days when the grille was normal size

I like what I see so far.

rexus300 · 01-08-2019, 10:29 PM

Just plain hideous!!! They could of made the grill more smaller and wider instead! Heck the new D5 A8 looks much nicer than this....

usmabmass · 01-08-2019, 10:43 PM

The rest of this LCI is so gorgeous, and they just had to ruin it with the over-the-hood grill.

Seriously, if they woul dhave just had a normal basic hoodline, this would be out of the park:

I completely agree...

He is already responsible of the ugly E65 7-Series and he managed to do even worse...

This brand (which I was a fan of) has been screwing up for the past 15 years.

SDRX · 01-09-2019, 01:39 AM

How many models are going to be blighted by this hideous, disproportionate front grill design ? I'm relieved the current 5 and the new 3 have been spared from this rubbish. I went to see the new x5 in the UK a few weeks ago, literally the only thing preventing me from placing an order for a new m50d is that grill.

Sometimes BMW get things so wrong, like also the headlights of the pre LCI 1 series
