Let’s hope than for the LCI they remove the ugly split headlights in favor of normal headlights.

I would be amazed if they went that far. They have decent sales numbers with the car as it is and if they were to make a massive change like a completely new front end look, they would saying that the earlier models were a mistake.

I believe we will see some refinement, but no drastic changes to the exterior.

My Number One hope is for better HVAC vents & performance.

To be clear, the car is the #1 seller in the segment, for the first time ever...so I think you won't see huge changes.

Not sure how much they can do in an LCI anyway. They should definitely leave it alone for the most part, maybe revise the front end a bit and any interior upgrades they see fit.

To the OP- I happen to really like this paint job, just not one I would own.

I hope that too, but given the Germans don't really believe in AC at all, I'm not holding out much hope.

Quite embarrassing that my cheap & cheerful Hyundai IONIQ5 commuter has far superior ventilated seat performance than my $100K+ BMWs.

On another related note, isn’t it fun trying to wash the windshield? I’m 6’1” and I have trouble reaching the top center of the windshield, especially if I am trying to not allow my clothing to touch the fender. The car is just SO tall & broad.

BUT, at the end of the day, when I sink into the huge, Marino Leather seat, relax to the rich sound of the B&W Diamond audio and feel that astonishingly, smooth, silent thrust as the car floats down the highway, the idiosyncrasies of the exterior design disappear and I just enjoy the ride.

Oh, and I almost forgot: I have not needed to return to the dealer for ANYTHING that wasn’t working properly, unlike my experience with another, German, luxury brand I could mention.
Yes, this. I am not thrilled with the exterior look but it’s grown on me. I purposely got it in black for this reason.

If you had told me I would ever consider a 7 series like 6 months ago…I’d thought you were crazy and that it was just an ugly car. Then the Cybertruck came out and I thought…..maybe this isn’t so bad LOL.

I don’t know WHAT it is about the design. It might just be everything. I don’t like it either.

I'm in the opposite camp. I like the split headlights.

By far the ugliest BMW I have ever seen. It looks Korean.

We do - not in houses, but probably +95% of all cars are sold in Germany with AC (and 100% of all BMWs).
