BMW’s most iconic feature is that dual kidney-style grille, correct? Well, the company’s designers in Munich have taken that design trait and enlarged it.
We mean really enlarged it.
No ad to show here.
The 2020 edition of the BMW 7-Series, like the X7 before it, will feature a 40% larger grille, which is also now a single piece of bodywork.
This is joined by a larger badge, a new front bumper with chrome inserts, and slimmer headlights with standard LEDs and optional Laserlight Selective Beams.
At the rear, there’s a full-length brakelight strip which runs above the license plate recess. Very retro-futuristic.
Internally, it’s all change too. There’s now an M760Li xDrive version, a new v8-based 750i xDrive variant (with 390kW), and three new diesel powertrains ranging from 195kW to 294kW incoming.
And in the cabin, BMW’s Live Cockpit system boasts a 12.3 inch instrument cluster alongside a 10.2 inch control dashboard. All this is powered by the company’s OS 7.0, and also features the company’s Intelligent Personal Assistant.
The 7-Series will be available in South Africa in Q2 2019, including the 740Li, 745Le xDrive, 750Li xDrive, M760Li xDrive and 730Ld variants.
