The exterior was thoroughly updated. The front includes new daytime running lights that retain the dual-lamp signature, optionally offered with diamond-cut crystal glass elements featuring 12 pieces per light, new Iconic Glow kidney grilles and a reshaped bumper. Similar to the [[BMW i3 (NA0)|i3]] and [[BMW iX3 (NA5)|iX3]], the hood was also reshaped with sharp creases that emphasize the updated BMW roundel logo. New monotone and two-tone paint finishes are available, with a new Individual option that combines a metallic upper section and a matte lower section, requiring 75 hours of manual paint processes. The new taillights use a smoked glass housing and include a dual-line motif with inner chrome lines, while the rear bumper was redesigned with fewer lines.{{Cite web |last=Padeanu |first=Adrian |date=2026-04-22 |title=2027 BMW 7 Series And i7 Debut With Cleaner Design And New Interior |url=https://www.bmwblog.com/2026/04/22/2027-bmw-7-series-i7-debut/ |access-date=2026-04-23 |website=BMW BLOG |language=en-US}} The front and rear fascias differ based on whether the Pure Excellence or M Sport appearance packages are chosen.{{Cite web |title=Go big or go home!
