BMW 750i xdrive M-Package Exterior Chief among the styling changes is a mammoth new twin-kidney grille, at least by BMW standards. Splayed over a nose the automaker says is now 2 inches taller at its highest point, the grille shares its tall shape with the new X7’s oversized kidneys. But the smaller backdrop of a sedan — not an SUV — makes them appear even larger, as do the pinched-for-2020 headlights. The front bumper sports a narrower opening with air deflectors where you’d normally expect outboard portals. Framed by upward-curling brightwork, the deflectors help aerodynamics and thus gas mileage, but they’re a jarring departure from the current generation’s bumper, which has a single width-spanning opening or three separate portals on M Sport versions; stay tuned to see if an M Sport package can alter this look, too. Changes in back, meanwhile, are subtler: Look closely and the taillights gain three-dimensional bump-outs. Interior Cabin styling largely carries over, with trapezoidal shapes characterizing much of the center controls, including an elevated touchscreen above the air vents. BMW’s iDrive 7 system includes a personal assistant that responds to “Hey BMW” prompts; you can also set the assistant to respond to a different name. Apple CarPlay is standard, but Android Auto isn’t available right now. Leather upholstery is standard, with various grades of upgraded leather optional — many of the extended options covering other portions of the interior beyond the seats. As is the norm among top-shelf luxury sedans, the 7 Series offers all manner of amenities for backseat passengers: power-adjustable outboard chairs with massagers, quad-zone climate control, dual 10-inch touchscreens and a 7-inch tablet controller in the center armrest. Rear passengers should hear even less noise, too, as BMW claims improved insulation for 2020 in areas like the rear wheel arches, B-pillars and backrests. Eight and 12-cylinder models get thicker rear glass standard, too.
