A facelifted version of the BMW 7 Series has been spotted, with some outlets noting a revised design and others pointing out the presence or absence of certain features, such as a smaller kidney grille or the removal of the V8 engine. The new design has been compared to the current BMW i7 limo in virtual renderings. There is some uncertainty about the extent to which the updated 7 Series will adopt BMW's Neue Klasse design language.
