The G11-generation BMW 7 Series facelift, or life cycle impulse (LCI) in BMW-speak has been spotted running trials again, this time at the Nurburgring Nordschleife in Germany. Behind the camouflage, the facelifted 7 will receive a larger kidney grille and revised headlights, bringing the large sedan’s frontal look more in line with recently introduced models such as the G05 X5 and the G07 X7.
As in the last time the G11 LCI was spotted, a hint of blue in the headlights suggest that the 7 Series LCI will use BMW Laserlight technology as well, and is complemented by a sportier, Sport-style front bumper. Meanwhile, the rear end also gets updated with a fresh look with a new tail light design as well as a different set of cutouts in the lower part of the rear bumper.
Munich’s flagship sedan will continue to be offered with a wide range of engines, from the 2.0 litre turbo four petrol plug-in hybrid in the 740Le xDrive, through various six- and eight-cylinder options, to the 6.6 litre biturbo V12 in the M760Li.
Elsewhere, the G11/12 7 Series should retain its interior and systems architecture, given that this will be a mid-lifecycle update. For now, the LCI 7 Series is expected to make its debut closer towards the end of this year, or at the beginning of 2019.

I do think current 5 series is better than current e class and coming 3 series will be better than current c class, but this one really lag behind a class, anytime
This gen 7er will be the last gen with the V12 in it. After this the V12 will be solely for the RR so this is your last chance to own one.
