To bring it more in line with the upcoming line for Bayerische Motoren Werke of which the 7er is now designated under. It will get the more chiselled and three dimensional looks of the X7 and the upcoming 8er which we will see in Spring 2018.
This LCI 7er won't debut until mid-2019. But it will have features similar to the Vision Future Luxury Concept Car which people through it portrayed the next 7er which was launched a year later even though the design freeze for the G11/G12 was already in place.

Another admission of failure and a way to piss buyers of the pre-LCI who will see the value of their vehicle drop more than expected (versus the only lightly updated S Class).

The M760 is your M7 for now.

G11/12 7 Series is already the best looking car in its class to me , however headlamp department really needs some touch ups as they're too imposing (that's may be a good thing ) but overall they look too raw and "Angy Birdesque"

I really want to stay with BMW but really feel they are dragging their feet. X7 and 8 series should have been out by now. The 7 series should have gotten this new tech in 2016, 2 years from now it is going to be behind the curve again. The technology that was supposedly a "game changer" in the current 7 was really all gimmicks. |

Same thing with the autonomous features, never thought I would care for it, but on longer drives and in traffic it is nice having the car do almost everything for you. With Idrive, there should be more and better built in apps. Also why do they hate google so much? Having the option for Android Auto would be nice. Aside from the technology, they are also far behind in form factor. Really surprised they are yet to have a real 7 seater suv, or a coupe that compares to the S class. Both of these should have been on the market by now. BMW seems to be getting back on track, and a year from now it seems like it will all be good again. But for someone like me that needs a new car right now, their line up is pretty disappointing. |

With newer IDrive, they removed desired features like pictures at destination and then hid others in submenus requiring additional clicks to reach. As far as Android Auto goes, I have used on a couple rentals and was not that impressed. For those that like to use apps, developers need to build support for ConnectedDrive. I will never need a 7 seater, but agreed they should have one for those interested. Though, I do think some of the other chassis are diluting the market. We do not need an X1 and X2, X3 and X4, etc. |

Rims are easier to change than body panels or electronics.
