    Default BMW 7 series facelift

    Looks like BMW decided to redo the 7 series. I like the new look, fewer conflicting styling cues.

    The headlights look wwwwaayyyyy better. I just wish they left the doors clean and got rid of that ridge.

    should make the bottom of the headlight completely smooth (still has that one bulge on the bottom towards the outside of the car) and it would look even better.

    I'm indifferent

    I kinda enjoy the current look because it's distinctive

    No shit, I hate the look of the rear ends on the current 7 Series, looks like they designed it, then forgot afew things so just slapped them on in the last few minutes.

    I thought the redesign is for EU safety compliance.

    IMO I like the current headlights better, I thought it was pretty cool to have the signal just above the beams in that line, and the old back somehow looked better, those ugly taillights are just bigger now???

    I've driven the car and if resale values drop even further it may be something I'll look into

    You can get that on the 3 series as well.

    It is really cool when you are driving at night.
