The company\u2019s flagship recently entered its seventh generation (G70). What do the two have in common? Not much, aside from the fact both lack a V12 engine. A new video shows how the design has evolved <em>(or regressed?)<\/em> throughout the years. It looks back on 45 years on significant changes, some more radical than others.<\/p>\n<p>As always, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That said, we can\u2019t be completely oblivious of the criticism BMW designs have been receiving lately. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/20\/2023-bmw-7-series-g70-reveal\/\">7 Series G70<\/a> is no exception, having received quite the backlash due to its unusual split headlights. In an odd way, this radical transformation has diverted attention from the massive grille.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-424747\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E65 1 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-1537x1024.jpg 1537w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW E65 1 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-424747\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E65 1 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-1537x1024.jpg 1537w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/BMW-E65-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW E65 1 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not like the latest 7 Series is the only one to face negative reactions. We are primarily talking about the E65 with its infamous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2015\/01\/21\/bangle-butt\/\">\u201cBangle Butt\u201d<\/a> penned by Chris Bangle. To each his own, but since these articles are written by people with likes and dislikes, we have the freedom to say this: the golden days in terms of design were from the E23 until the E38 was discontinued.<\/p>\n<p>If we were to pick just one, we would likely go with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/02\/12\/bmw-7-series-e38-19-miles-for-sale\/\">E38<\/a> as we\u2019d argue its design has aged like fine wine. The previous-generation 7 Series before its facelift was also a looker, prior to getting the inflated kidneys for its LCI. BMW has typically offered two wheelbases, but that\u2019s no longer the case as the G70 comes in one flavor.<\/p>\n<p>The seventh-gen model is also the first to lose the combustion engine in the sense there\u2019s a fully electric i7 joining the ICE sedan. It\u2019s also the first M Performance hybrid from BMW, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/20\/2023-bmw-m760e-xdrive-reveal\/\">M760e xDrive<\/a> seen as an indirect replacement for the V12-powered M760i. In a perfect world, we\u2019d have the G70\u2019s tech and sophistication combined with the classy lines of an early 7 Series. One can dream, right?<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8_FgmvYdZjo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PD Evolution<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"BMW 7 SERIES - EVOLUTION (1977~2023)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8_FgmvYdZjo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT Cars have dramatically changed since BMW launched the original 7 Series (E23) back in 1977.
