BMWs have genuinely become the ugliest cars on the market. My opinion.

The new direction with the XM, iX, G80, i7 and the new X7 LCI are clear indicators of the direction of future BMWs. And they are not good indicators. Regarding the X7 LCI, I do not hate it as much as I'd like to hate it. I actually don't hate it at all, but I want to somehow.

Wow, are you personally offended by someone who has an opinion about the looks of a car? I feel sorry for you.
And that was directed towards srgntBMW, someone who crawled out of a dormant account created four years ago. |

I’m very concerned about the loss of physical buttons, gearshift, and zero improvement to the speed/functionality of the electric seats. Why is BMW getting so radical with the largest/most expensive car that’s got the highest age demographic? My wife took 3 years to figure out how to operate our 2019. She’s going to lose her sh-t with the 2022. |

Too Fussy and Over-Styled
I think this refresh is too fussy and over-styled. There's a lot going on both outside and inside and the vibe feels unrefined. I have a 2019 40i M-sport - this refresh wouldn't get me back to the dealer to make a trade. Also, while maybe not a direct competitor, the redesigned Range Rover looks much more refined and is a better design. The RR looks expensive - the LCI X7 looks messy and some of the details are tacky.

That reputation score is absolutely crazy. Have you ever looked back and debated how much of your life you've spent giving to this forum? Serious question.

I like it… though it feels weird that the front end gets a massive design change and the rear stays practically the same. Overall though it's a step in the right direction. This is only the second iteration of BMW's large flagship SUV and they've done a good job with it. I would imagine that the next gen addresses some of the major pain points that have been expressed here. Really liking the M60i, especially with those M seats, but with the refresh, even the base model looks good. Can't wait to see it in person!

Just to be clear, the DRLs are on top, the headlights are lower. BMW doesnt show them turned on, shows that they are not confident in this design just yet...
This is a multi storey headlight arrangement as seen on some Skodas and Citroens earlier, plus some other brands I cant think of. Not new but this is how designers want to move away from huge headlamps that need to balance massive front faces of SUVs, and this is one way. It is strange that no one understood that even the XM concept had two storey headlights, and even right now not all people are getting it. No one even commented that on the XM, which I always thought a bit strange. At least now you can see it clearer but how it looks in real life is really interesting. I dont hate it. example.
