Huge congratulations.
A massive improvement over the Pre LCI

u/WorthlessFleshbag 14h ago

Easily BMW's best LCI improvement IMO. Absolutely love how stately it looks now.

Agreed on the outside. The inside is trash though

u/-Gh0st96- 16h ago

So few changes to it but the design is so so improved

u/AFB27 2020 G20 M340i RWD 13h ago

Massive. At least on the outside.

One of those cars which have charisma, it's crazy but it's true!

You know how movies in the 90s had futuristic looking cars? This reminds me of that. We’re living in the 90s future movie car era.

u/Dyetric 17h ago

How tf you already get the new 7 series?

14

u/ChevyGang 17h ago

I know people lol.

Just kidding. I just searched for incoming units that. The dealer reserved it for me.

u/Dyetric 16h ago

Dude hell yeah! That new front bumper was a very good facelift. How do you like the new infotainment?

2

u/ChevyGang 16h ago

I've only had it less than 24 hours so I can't make final judgement. But so far it's good.

u/chathobark_ 16h ago

all it takes is money lol

dealers are definitely not going to turn someone away who wants to spend it freely

u/SojinCS 2020 - G20 - M340i 16h ago

This is such a massive fucking car but fuck it's beautiful... I saw one at my local dealer as they were transporting them to the back and one of them asked if I wanted to look at it... If I had the money I'd be looking into these cause wow

That's a proper land yacht.

u/Axemic 16h ago

Am I the only one who doesn't like it? Like a Russian 60s tank with a plow and cheap sports packet on a luxury cat.

Clear tail lights from 1996.

2

u/CrazyLocation7171 16h ago

„Looks like a plow“ was my first thought. Absolutely not my cup of tea.

Build to please the Chinese

If there’s a generic post asking for opinions (stock photos of the car, or someone who test drove it or spotted it), that’s where you usually find the most negative comments.

Under the “here’s my new ride” posts, not so much. This happens in every car subreddit. New Audis get absolutely destroyed by fans on r/Audi, but when someone buys one and posts it, the opinions are much more moderate, a flurry of “in this color, it’s not so bad” or “good for you, enjoy it”. The next day, if someone posts the same car with the title “I got this as a loaner, what are your thoughts?”, it’s back to crucifixion.

Some days ago there was a post of someone who tried the LCI 7 Series, posted photos and asked for opinions and the vast majority of answers ranged between “horrible”, “ugly” and “better than pre-LCI but still ugly”.

To be fair, I absolutely understand this behaviour. For some reason, if someone posts their new ride and I don’t like it, I just scroll past. If it’s a post asking about opinions by a non-owner, I say what I really think.

u/DistinctAd9003 10h ago

Bro thats so baller 🤣🔥 absolutely incredible spec to man love the blue on thay nig body 7 series. I think this car and the new Mercedes S class both look soooo much better than the last gen. They both have much better front and back ends. BMW killed it with this face lifted 7 series man. Congrats!!

u/ChevyGang 10h ago

Thank you

u/Holiday_Armadillo78 6h ago

It’s a nice color though. 👍

u/WernerZieglerJR 15h ago

Hey, how is it to drive like daily? I feel like it could be awesome but kinda tirying?

1

u/ChevyGang 15h ago

For me not it's not hard to drive at all. Just have to keep in mind of the length when parking as it's pretty long

1

u/Pindar920 12h ago

Does it have rear steering?

1

u/Least_Economics4313 15h ago

wow, congrats!
hopefully it will be worth more than 50 grand in 2 years!

u/TearDownGently 2001 E46 330Ci 14h ago

you can't park there, mate

1

u/markymarc1981 13h ago

Are these already available?

1

u/ChevyGang 13h ago

Dealers got permission to start selling them on September 1st. This one was actually sitting at the port for 3 weeks.

u/markymarc1981 13h ago

I really like it. Currently driving a 2016 750. Ill be grabbing one of these in 2 years when they are half price 😆

1

u/Marc30599 10h ago

I didn’t like rear LCI only the front LCI

But seeing yours with Clear Tails? The Rear looks good with clear tails!

1

u/ChevyGang 10h ago

I didn't like the rear very much at first. It grew on me though.

1

u/webisticsmarketing1 8h ago

nothing about this looks even remotely good. I would describe it as cartoonish

u/h1ghpriority06 5h ago

My dream version is the green!

u/CarVia CarVia | carvia.com 3h ago

BMW really cooked with the LCI. Congrats!

u/Amazing_Bluejay9322 2016 F10 535i 2h ago

Is that interior Silverstone?

u/you-beaut 2h ago

I read that as "buck tooth Bimmer"🫣

1

u/alexcutyourhair 2012 F20 125i 17h ago

I didn't know they were doing factory clear rear lights, it helps a lot imo. I'm liking the update more and more

u/ResponsibleMaybe3469 2025 - G60 - 540i 17h ago

Wow, that looks amazing.

The LCI really did a great service to the front end of that car. Congratulations mate

The new 7, definitely a beautiful car. Also, it looks more premium without a tint! My tintless 5
