The actual 7 series facelift is quite great looking but the new 7 series design is quite weird (or at least until it is released and get used to it)
Let's hope it doesn't look like these leaks |

Recently came across these renderings online. And I quite like them. Don't even mind the split headlight that much. Of course, the final thing might be away off!

Beloved Bimmerposters,
There is no way under the sun that BMW does a split headlight design in the new X8 or the 7-Series refresh. These rendering nerds are mistaking the dummy headlights on the test mules as permanent. Anyone who is familiar with previous test mules would know that they have done this before with the fake headlights. Yes, the new headlights will be much thinner than what we're used to, but I promise there won't be four of them.

I am talking about the new 7 series that goes on sale mid next year.
For the X7 or the X8 I have no idea and I do not care at all, as those are cars I would not put in my garage, ever. But if I would have to speculate, my expectations would be indeed a minor updates to X7 and rather the X8 sharing the design elements with new 7. Time will tell (or the whistleblowers). X7 is an LCI, while new 7 series is completely new platform, so makes no sense to change all the hardware on X7 just to make it 'look like new 7'. I would be too expensive for BMW, IMO. |

Actually this is the render that comes very close when it comes to the headlights design of the new 7 series.
But from the photo I have the splitting part coming out from the bumper (its thinner than on the render btw) looks like its floating and I have no idea if the headlights is just the top, thin part or thats only daily lights and the bottom part acts as headlight as well. That is what I want to check tomorrow. Overall its very 'predator' look and design, looks very good on the 7. |

It has some of the design elements of the production model, but overall a lot of stuff goes bad on this render:
- The grilles will be bigger (yeah, and I am not joking), - The split headlights are almost right, but the vertical lines that define the upper part do line up with the real thing, - The front end will be higher and larger, it will be one big m$@&#@ ;-) - Everything thats below the grilles in the front (and around them) is completely off on the design, the real thing has "shark-like" design, which is something that extends current LCI 7 series (non-M Package models), - Like I already wrote, the licence plate goes under the grill, its not slapped on it, there is a minimal amount of space there so I expect US plate will be a direct fit, EU plates have only few centimeters between the plate and bottom grill part, - The back is wrong by a long shot, i.e. the real things has lights curved up on the sides and look very slick, back looks like tuned down version of 8 series, - License plate will be placed at the bumper, which is one thing done right. But its getting closer |

The shape of the top headlight is not symmetrical left to right. Bad photoshop.

Why would I even want to pretend anything? It's just a forum, not hall of fame, I am sharing what I know with the rest to give you some details. I know I would like to read it myself, if I would not see the real thing. You can ignore my comments if you're not interested.
All the details mentioned in my post will be seen soon, like the split headlights and license plated mounting spot being shown on latest mules. More will come. |

Actually, a 5 series LWB, that was the first error of the render, basing it off a smaller car, the proportions will be wrong. Quote:

Except that is a rather old render and from schulte who rarely makes accurate renders anyways. This render appeared in a car and driver article from wait for it, 2018, so no, newer renders are not dropping the extra headlights. Quote:
Really curious who are you asking btw? People on the streets? BMW dealership employees? BMW employees? BMW 3rd party suppliers? Anyone who has any working relationship with bmw and future projects, has to sign an NDA and they are breaking it by revealing information. They may not care, but if they get caught breaking the NDA, there will probably be consequences, perhaps not financial but could be. You will have to excuse my hesitancy, there have been a few "insiders" over the many years I have been on various forums, with almost all turning out to be bogus. Quote:
A. you have seen it, but you decided not to mention those other mistakes (but why?) B. you have NOT seen it. I'll go with B myself for now, since you failed to point out the errors in the avarvarii render that even a regular person could see. Like the A pillar design, the side surfacing design, C pillar design, especially the new C pillar trim that is visible on the new test cars. Likewise there is no kink in the rear lower trim, yet you didn't point that out? Sure some of the things you said could be seen as coming from an "insider" but then the same things could be interpreted from the spy photos, if they know what to look for and no the grill will not be bigger than what avarvarii made, the test cars refute this. sorry for the long post everyone. |

How are you people still falling for the split headlight design? It's not happening. Look at the test mules. Those are dummy halogen style headlamps. They will not make it to the production vehicle. Mark my words.
