Can't detect any changes on the outside. They may as well not bothered retooling. Love the high tech digital gauges though.

The 750d XDRIVE looks interesting. It's a six-cylinder diesel engine with three turbochargers. Total output is around 380 Hp and 740 Newton Meters of torque. Very impressive.

Anyways, this is really nice facelift. I love the improvements to the sound system along with the digital instrument display (which is the future and will continue to spread into more automobiles in the near future as display and screens cost less over time).

Superb job BMW (even for a facelift).

P.S.
With that said, I'm still waiting for an M7 (oh and Alpina does not count )

Not a great looker outside, but a lot of v nice improvements all around the drivetrain and interior.
Most of the mods seems bullseye aimed at audi.

doesnt really look royal like S class.

I dont know about those instruments either - they took LFA's idea of having real hardware circling the LCD but still, i wonder how it will look like in sunlight.

Looks sharper with updated headlights! But I am kind of happy since not too much different than the current one so that means my car won't look too outdated!

I know I know, what can I do,
Hopefully I can afford a new one soon! And then another new Gen will be out, cost some real money to catch up.

The more newer 7 series I see on the road the more I like them. As far as looks go it is my favorite big lux sedan. I used to love the Audi A8 but the current version looks terrible.

For me the S-Class still has the most presence

A subtle facelift inside and out. Not bad. A very handsome and elegant car.

I think the front end is horrible now. It looks like it's SLEEPY or had just woken up from a NAP. WTF???

I honestly think it might be my favorite D-class 3 box style flagship....its weird to say or think that people are "sleeping" on this vehicle. I really like my time in it.

Not sure about the exterior updates but it seems they really improved upon it.
