Yeah they look like these spilt Citroën headlights. Pre-facelift look so much better. Edit. I think the facelift looks sleeker and sharper. I never liked those ‘angel eyes’ on bmw’s. They’re kinda childish to me. Happy they’re gone. Interior got a huge improvement.

[@bobthebuilder4692]

💪 yes best community!

[@jj_cars99]

In a lot of cases, they kinda miss the point of a specific car's target audience or something. For example, the LX600 is meant for those who want a vehicle that LASTS FOREVER. That's why it maybe doesn't have as much tech as Range Rover, X7 but its close and it's already good for most people. The REAL point for the LX is reliability and longevity. Haters always gonna hate whether they understand the weaknesses or not.

[@hkevinmiami]

I totally agree. I like new style of it. It’s amazing the insults people receive for liking something.

[@jj_cars99]

@@TFSIChristmas The LX holds its value way more so than X7 and GLS. Oh and it'll have far fewer issues. X7 and GLS, 10 years old, you're constantly into problems like tech, transmission and powertrain. This is something the LX doesn't suffer. You don't have to worry about tech stuff, transmission and powertrain breaking. They are intended to last 25 YEARS instead of just 10 years or less with the Germans. Also, when you try to sell the LX compared to selling an X7 or GLS, you'll retain $50,000. The Germans, just $5,000.

[@jj_cars99]

@@TFSIChristmas Those who buy an "overpriced" Toyota are those who want luxury but also want EXTREMELY RELIABLE and CAPABLE cars that are designed to last 25 years or more. An X7 only lasts 10 years so you end up spending nearly $300,000 in 25 years including repairs, the amount of cars bought/leased. In the LX, you'll keep the vehicle for 25 YEARS without any issues.

[@j4hoo115]

It's good that the front has started to look like the Citroën C4 Cactus - more people will start buying products from the competition. And this interior ambient light - it looks cheesy like gaming computers, more led lighting means more FPS.

[@mineSTAR626]

I didn't think the time would come when BMW would start copying the design ideas from Hyundai Santa Fe

[@pchansen100]

No PHEV? I owned a 2019 X7 50i and the small tank drove me nuts. Every time I got in, I needed fuel. Traded for a X5 45e. Love the 30 miles of electric. We need a X7 50e in the states with 50 miles of electric and that 380hp straight 6. Also 23” wheels are getting silly. Another example of “seemed like a good idea when I drove it home” only to find out you’ll be lucky to get 15000 miles out of a set until you need to spring for another $2500+ for tires. The rest of the update is beautiful. Love that color and I bet in person it is stunning!

I also hate the plain, square screens. It looks like a home game setup. It doesn't look as fancy as the car claims to be. It is entirely possible to do a better job with screens. It's sad to know that BMW will be using this on virtually all of their models going forward.

I don’t know if I can move forward with BMW. As a lifelong BMW fanboy there are still BMW models that I still plan to own but from this point going forward with this new design from BMW I doubt there is an upcoming model I would want to own from BMW. The upcoming BMW M3 touring, the upcoming M2, and the facelifted 3 series will probably be last BMW cars I will consider purchasing when it comes to the latest and newest models. Other than that I will buy older BMW models that I have always loved. But going forward this is the end of my relationship with my beloved BMW.

The rear could’ve done with a full length light bar in my opinion. The front looks futuristic and the back looks dated.

[@1jsremy]

A light bar would’ve been sick

[@galahadkenway1865]

Totally agree! 👍

[@sergios.9805]

Bmw designs are all over the place

[@uz8587]

So true the rear looks years older and boring

[@enriquecarrillo3909]

Nice job and review. The interior is indeed fantastic. We're going to be in the market for one late this year and intend to pick it up at the factory tour in Spartanburg, SC. The captain chairs are nice but I believe you give up too much space. The ambient lighting is nice, maybe a little lighter might be more elegant, the roof lighting is stunning. We're looking forward to test driving one soon to make up our minds. Once again, nice review, Cheers!

The bottom split headlights looks like if someone was pulling an employees face cheeks and the designers were around and got that idea on how those bottom lights would look😄.

[@smetljesm2276]

Actually looks great! Good move in going easy on those vents!

[@shroomyesc]

Improvement over the pre-facelift. The split headlamps here actually make the front end more balanced, as previously it was slim single unit headlights vs. tall grille.

Hi Thomas love and greetings from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I don't know about others but I really liked it pre face lift wasn't that bad either but something was missing although I couldn't tell what was that but now with the split head lamps it looks awesome even grill doesn't look bad either it doesn't look that boxy like it used to be bmw nailed it with just minor tweaks here and there

[@autogefuehl]

Best greetings!

[@beloved_doug]

This is a glimpse of the front fascia and headlight housing of the new i7 Series. Definitely different and I like it !

[@darrell9616]

It's good to see BMW has stopped being so lazy with their facelifts. Also, personal preference here, but I think that Audi is now a distant 3rd with interior design, especially at the flagship level. It's interesting because Audi used to be considered the leader in German interior design.

[@amgnaciri5937]

I agree ; audi used to be superior in term of interior and exterior design , now not by match , i hate the a6 look.

[@rghl5617]

Compared to its competitors in the class, BMW 5 series and the E class, I think the A6 is the best looking. I agree about the interior design though.

[@AbzAden]

I agree Audi used to have very tasteful, restrained and grown up appeal…but the current Audi UI is horrible especially with everything being touch screen based the horrid dual screen but what makes it unbearable is the piano black trim everywhere…

[@c3vzn]

Yeah Audi needs to step up its interior game once again. Focus on quality and ambience not shiny plastics & screens.

[@darrell9616]

@Yes Sir No doubt. A for effort, but....

[@G-..-]

The only good-looking BMW remaining, now ruined. Just like the current 7 series was gorgeous, then they butchered it with the face-lift.

[@yes8032]

Don’t forget the X5 5 series and 3 series

[@yes8032]

And 8 series

[@mr.c3939]

That's your personal opinion. Not a fact

[@G-..-]

@@mr.c3939 no its a fact. you can double check on the CIA world factbook.

[@ynwa6282]

X7 looks much better than pre face lift...but the new 7 series is ugly

[@HCChen86]

for exterior i still like our pre-LCI X7 more. interior too me is both having there advantages.

[@carlosseay889]

I like how the first time I seen the face lift reminded me how the Nissan Rouge’s headlights look

[@NinjaKiller1022]

It actually looks pretty good. A lot better than the mock-ups. The interior is amazing.

[@kofiankamah3433]

Hyundai did it first with the Santa Fe, kinda like the old X7 with the laser lights more classy.

[@jh5kl]

no, french design was the first to make cars like this

[@rickcollin5600]

Dash vent controls seem like those on SAABs, not a bad thing at all.
