BMW just revealed the 2027 7 Series and i7 facelift in Munich — and this one goes way beyond a typical LCI. We sat down with BMW designer Jose Casas and product manager Max Huber to get the full story on every exterior, interior, and tech change.
The i7 now packs Gen 6 round-cell batteries co-developed with Rimac, pushing WLTP range past 700 km with 250 kW DC charging — 10 to 80% in just 28 minutes. The interior is completely new: iDrive X, Panoramic Vision, a standard passenger screen, and a new rotary cylinder controller replace the old setup entirely. On the outside, sharper kidneys, crystal headlights, new tail lamps, and a dual-finish two-tone paint that takes over three days to apply.
This is the most significant mid-cycle update BMW has done in years.
