Looking at the below pic you will see how the 7 will have a bigger grille that is more low slung than the 5's. It will sit below the headlights, whereas the 5's headlights will sit in line with the grille:

Also, who remembers this sketch?



I think it is stunning. It's based on info from European sources and has been around for just over 2 years. So far the headlights are looking to be correct. Even the grille be accurate, the shape matches but we dont have the slats to confirm the "moustache". I dont think there will be 1 though. BMW should be following the CS concept style.

Then again, anyone could have produced this sketch. It is after all a 5 body with 3 series coupe front bumper styling and a 6 grille. But then we look at that kink on the shoulder. That has just been shown in camo recently. Hmm, I wonder.
