Facelifted 06 BMW 7

thewizard16 · V-12

I like the front a little better, but the rear isn't as good. The inner parts of the headlights look Lexus-ish to me, but it could be my imagination.

Not seeing any Lexus myself.

I like the front about the same, but hate the new rear.

I think the way they curve on the inside part and the top remind me of the last generation LS headlights. (like, pre-2000). The rear is just odd. I think the front on the current one is downright ugly, and this one is less ugly, it's just not as distinct.

The current 7-Series is a rather blockish car, so it makes sense for it to have rather blockish headlights to complete the look IMO.

I hate Bangle.

The pre-facelift version looks so much better.

The pre-this version of the 7 Series was even better-er.

It did need an update though. It looked nice, but dated, as the previous-gen 5-Series did.

True, but they didn't have to go and turn it into something ugly. I think the update is slightly less ugly on the front, like I said, but I don't car for the way the 7-series looks in general, and I certainly (if I had it) wouldn't shell out that much money for a car that visually questionable.

I wouldn't have a problem with buying an ugly car as long as it's good at everything else, but I wouldn't buy the 7 anyway. Terrible dash design and iDrive, as well as being far more expensive than the LS430, take it out.
