Production of the BMW G11 and G12 LCI 7-Series commenced in January 2019. Visually, the BMW G11/G12 LCI 7-Series could be identified by its revised front mask which was 50 mm taller at its foremost point, larger kidney grille that was framed by a single-piece surround, slimmer headlight units, outer air intakes that were overlaid with large air deflectors, new bonnet contours and larger BMW badge (95 mm diameter, previously 82 mm). In profile, the G11/G12 LCI 7-Series had new front quarter panels with upright ‘Air Breathers’ and horizontal trim strips that extended into the rear apron. At the rear, there were slimmer tail-lights, a 6 mm tall light strip which connected the rear lights, and wider chrome surrounds for the exhaust tailpipes that were integrated flush into the lower section of the rear apron.
