Cartoon grill! Having a laugh who would buy this!! Maybe will look better in a different colour ?

PARTS@STBMW · 03-05-2019, 02:07 PM

Can only imagine how big that box is going to be for the black grilles.

TodmordenLad · 03-05-2019, 02:12 PM

Is it just me or do the 7's grilles look genuinely comical?

tturedraider · 03-05-2019, 02:13 PM

People who would otherwise buy this car are going to say no, because of that freakishly huge grill. BMW trying to compete with the S Class yet making decisions that just hand sales to Mercedes.

It’s not just you. They look genuinely cartoonish.

bmr760 · 03-05-2019, 02:17 PM

Yep, I'm no MB fan boy at all but the S class is a class act in comparison. Just look at it, and this isn't even a good picture

cc3 · 03-05-2019, 02:29 PM

BMW seem to really struggle to find a design language compared with rivals.

So they think I know let's put a ridiculous comical grill on it ! Sort of thing my children would do

The more I look at this 7 I just can't help feeling they need a radical shake up at the top of this business

junx · 03-05-2019, 02:30 PM

Dear god why

lm1z · 03-05-2019, 02:35 PM

I think the grills look good...

...said no one ever.

M3GymNut · 03-05-2019, 02:45 PM

The best thing bmw has to show at Geneva is the 7 series hybrid? Say it ain't so...

DML · 03-05-2019, 02:54 PM

Those twin kidneys are absolutely ridiculous

Omar81 · 03-05-2019, 02:57 PM

Wow! Those kidney grills look awful!

What are they thinking?

teaston · 03-05-2019, 03:05 PM

My only guess is that the Chinese market is dictating the grille design, being that it's such a large market, and the Chinese generally like like big blingy ostentatious things!

I have been a long time (loyal) customer to BMW and I really dislike the direction BMW design is headed with those kidney grills. I think it's time to switch brands

amw896 · 03-05-2019, 03:32 PM

do you think that this grill doesnt look like complete kaka in person as it does in pics?

I agree with you

F30Toad · 03-05-2019, 03:39 PM

A face only a mother could love

markymark666 · 03-05-2019, 03:39 PM

Already seen in RL...
Sorry for the not perfect quality. The fotos to the end should show some details. I think it's a M760Li 2019 G11 G12 Facelift.

I think its impressive!!

GOLFFRR · 03-05-2019, 03:53 PM

I know a lot dont like the grill but man its really growing on me. it looks pretty slick in these pics under the lights. Again I understand its not for everyone but give it time

jwong77 · 03-05-2019, 04:03 PM

As a 530e owner, I am really interested in the 745e's powertrain trickling down to the 5 Series. The extra ev range is most welcomed. As is having a BMW in-line 6 again.
