BMW officially unveiled
ts updated 7 Series luxury se-
dan, which features a revamped
design and supplementary in-
erior augmentations. The 2020
Series lineup includes eight
ariations: xDrive M760Li,
50i xDrive (BMW 750Li
Drive), 745e (BMW 745Le),
Drive 745Le, 750d xDrive
BMW xDrive 750Ld), 740d
Drive (BMW xDrive 740Ld),
30d (BMW 730Ld) and 730d
Drive (BMW xDrive 730Ld).
The
company says that
the redesign gives its latest series
a “confident presence”; however,
there have been mediocre reviews
regarding the exterior design.
The focal point of the new design
is the trademark 7 Series kidney
grille, which has been placed on a
two-inch taller front end, drastical-
ly enlarging the grille by about 40
percent since the last generation.
This enlargement has invoked dis-
satisfaction in some people’s view,
especially since the inflated grille
on the previous model was not very
welcomed either. Nevertheless, the
grille indeed delivers a renewed
sense of presence, as the company
stated—even if the grille appears
somewhat outlandish due to their size.
Aside from the large new grille,
other visual alterations consist of new
wheel designs ranging from 18 to 20
inches, several new color choices,
some of which are part of BMW’s
Individual customization program,
and updated headlights and tail-
lights. Framing the outer edges of the
X7-like grille are the thin headlights
with LED inserts, with the optional
feature of laser headlights available.
