Re: 7-series facelift pics from 19th Jan in Sweden
Looks like they've concentrated on changing the front end. I hope they clean up the interior a little bit.
I've actually always liked the 7 but I admit it could be improved.

Re: 7-series facelift pics from 19th Jan in Sweden
yeah i see they are going for the more traditional look and doing away with the eyebrows...about time!!!
i think the e60 would look good without the eyebrows as well...please facelift the 5 series as well!!!

Re: 7-series facelift pics from 19th Jan in Sweden
Not much of a change. They really need to do something about the trunk corners, now that they have "fixed" the eye-brows.
Cheers.

Re: 7-series facelift pics from 19th Jan in Sweden
changing the trunk would be much more expensive and was probably not budgeted for. of course, I agree, they should make the change asap.

Re: 7-series facelift pics from 19th Jan in Sweden
Maybe a new rear (and face lifted front) could increase the sale and income more than the cost of a thrunk change? It might be usefull also for the next generation 7 if the company show that they listen to their buyers opinion. I think the thrunk is a big issue for many potential costumers.

See, you can't please everybody-I like the front of the 7, eye brows and all.
