2020 BMW 7 Series photos leak
|
Shape has not changed much... but man that grille looks like a fence. |
I love it. Looks the business
|
Looks like that big grill isn't stopping with the X7
|
It's so odd that the hood is cut out to make way for the grill that has risen north of just the front bumper. Doesn't look bad, just odd.
|
they really can't make the grill any larger?

At least with the Avalon, the top of the grill doesn't extend past the upper limit of the headlight. On the 7, theres no alignment between the two elements and it looks randomly placed.
|
Freighliner grille on a premium luxury sedan? That takes guts. Yet it doesn't look as bad as one might have thought.
I rather see BMW ditch the dated split grille, which would open up a new world of moderness and design direction. Stylizing two separate shapes is much more difficult than stylizing one single shape. They are being held back with the split grille. |
Front looks like a miserable expression to me lol ... |
What is it about the 7 and its butt? It hasn't looked tidy since the 90's.
At least all the vehicles have shed that straight edge and the roundel goes up with the hood. Seems like MB and Audi always know how to style vehicles ahead of the competition. S Class is always king! p.s. are those really the 7 mirrors or just a rendering. |

I think the rear looks fine but , gee what are they thinking with the front, on the x7 I understand it's fine but on the sedans? Is this going to carry over to all the BMW sedans ? I always liked the exterior of the current gen 7 too.

love the new 7's hood sculpting on left/right.
|
That grille looks goofy, to the point I chuckled when I scrolled down. Terrible, also my girlfriend had a 7 Series and it was the most unreliable POS I've ever seen.
|
Are these LED headlights or those cool new 'laser' ones?
|
Looks like I'm in the minority, but I quite like it. I think the grill looks classic BMW while offering more presence than the outgoing model. I'll wait for my final judgement until I see it from further away and from more angles, but so far, I'm good with it. See it in your review mirror and you'll KNOW it's the new 7 Series.

The 7 always has had a dignified conservative look and this one looks good too. Really love the lines except for this thing about the oversized grill. Saw the X7 on the road recently and no, those big buck tooth twin kidneys don't look that much better vs pics.
But that's ok. Maybe BMW will sell you a gigantic toothbrush to keep it all nice and clean. http://www.timtim.com/public/images/...uckyBeaver.gif |

Can the grills on the 7 Series and X7 still be called kidney grills? I like this 7 though.

It's pretty grim that. I've no idea what they are thinking with that grille. As my old dad would say; purely for those whose only taste is in their mouth.

but at least the 7 won't have that crappy piece above the grill before the hood that looks SOOOO cheesy.
https://ccnwordpress.blob.core.windo...hero-image.jpg On my G30 (BMW 530e) and E92, they were able to design it this way, and I find that it looks fine in this regard. |
I don't mind it. Not bad, not great. It's all the trend that bigger is supposedly better. Note also, many are on the slim LED tail lamp trend too (BMW, Audi, Porsche, Lexus UX, etc).
|
These big grills are getting out of hand. Hideous IMHO...
|
Those things aren't kidney grills any more.
They're nostrils:D https://s3.amazonaws.com/pix.iemoji....6/pig-nose.png |
2020 BMW 7-Series
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...5d8bc371cc.png
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...78d3dfa105.png https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...6ae7c929b7.png https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...0e8e54c1bb.png The most notable and outward shift is the adoption of a larger kidney grille, 40 percent bigger to be exact, according to BMW. It strongly resembles the big-dog X7's front fascia, a design certain people thought was even too big for an SUV. Now it's on a sedan, although BMW does say the front end is two inches taller at its highest point compared to the 2019 model.More important, the 7 Series receives major changes to its powertrain lineup. In addition to improvements to the eight-speed automatic transmission and the xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the 7 Series lineup becomes more powerful and more eco-friendly. For 2020, BMW is ditching the turbocharged inline-four in its 740e xDrive PHEV in favor of a plug-in hybridpowertrain that uses a 280-horsepower inline six-cylinder mill. That is paired with an electric motor that makes 113 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Now called the 745e xDrive, it will make a total of 389 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque in sport mode, good enough for a claimed 0-60 sprint of 4.9 seconds (the outgoing model made 322 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, and ran 0-60 in 5.1 seconds). BMW says the 745e will have an improved lithium-ion battery pack with a 12.0 kWh (10.4 kWh net) capacity compared to the old model's 9.2 kWh. BMW did not yet mention how far the 745e could travel on electric-only power. The V8 powertrain is also getting an upgrade. In the 2020 750i xDrive, the overhauled twin-turbocharged V8 will now make 80 more horsepower than the outgoing model, up to 523 between 5,500 and 6,000 rpm. Torque is increased by 74 lb-ft, up to 553 lb-ft between 1,800 and 4,600 rpm. BMW claims it can sprint from zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds. Other powertrain options include the 335-horsepower turbocharged inline-six in 740i models, and the granddaddy 600-horsepower twin-turbocharged V12 on the M760i. This announcement made no mention of the Alpina model. The kidney grille isn't the only design nip on the 2020 7 Series. Although the car as a whole looks similar, subtle changes keep it current and up-to-date. The headlights have been redesigned with a slimmer profile, and BMW's Laserlight will be available as an option above the standard LEDs. The hood has been redesigned with slightly more aggressive lines, the side mirrors have been tweaked, the front bumper now has "air deflectors" on the air intakes to funnel cooling to the brakes, and the side "Air Breathers" have bigger air outlets. The rear underwent similar alterations. The tailpipes are wider, the taillights are slimmer, and the 2020 7 Series now has a light bar that stretches across the tail. Completing the look, 740i and 745e models will sit on standard 18-inch wheels, 750i models have standard 19-inch wheels, and the M760i will have 20-inch wheels as standard. Inside, not much is different, as most of the changes come via updated technology and improved ride quality. The 7 Series has a new digital instrument cluster to pair with its large infotainment screen that sits atop the dash, and the steering wheel has been slightly tweaked and now features a chrome fascia. BMW claims it has improved the acoustics for a more serene drive by adding more shielding, more insulation and by increasing the thickness of the laminated glass. As of this announcement, pricing has not been announced. |
Huge grille notwithstanding this is a major LCI update for the 7series! I really like the updated styling on the rear and the new V8 with 523hp is amazing, keep in mind they still offer the M760i with the V12 and the Alpina B7. If I was in the market for large luxury sedan this would be at the top of the list. I was not a fan of the 7series styling of this generation but this update makes it look sportier and much more prescence at the same time. Just wish the grille was 20% smaller. |
It would look great if the grill was only as thick as the headlights and went a little further down on them instead of this gaping monstrosity. |
UGLY AS F. I'm sorry but the new grill design from BMW is ruining the car. Its surprising that people hate the Lexus grill but give BMW a pass for this. |
The new grille has evolved from Kidney size (meaning were very small at first) to Kardashian-sized ones. So from now on, they unofficially known as Kardashian grilles. :woohoo:
|
i seen worst but i like it a lot,
|
The grill really does look like a photoshopped exaggeration. I like everything else, but that grill just looks ridiculous.
