The flagship sedan “takes the lead when it comes to the introduction of technologies from the Neue Klasse into existing models,” BMW said. Unlike the new iX3 and i3, which are ground-up Neue Klasse EVs, the new i7 retains its classic flagship design with a modern twist. Although it still has BMW’s massive kidney grille, it features a slightly smaller version with available “Kidney Iconic Glow.” It also has a new minimalist crystal headlights that replace the outgoing i7’s stacked headlight design. Inside, the i7 adopts BMW’s Neue Klasse design and technology with plenty of digital screens. The setup includes a 17.9″ floating center infotainment display, BMW’s Panoramic Vision spanning the dashboard, and a 14.6″ passenger entertainment screen. It’s powered by the latest BMW Operating System X, which includes an in-car intelligent assistant with Amazon Alexa+ AI technology.
