BMW has officially debuted LCI (facelifted) versions of its flagship sedans, the 7 Series and all-electric i7. Both feature comprehensive changes on the outside, and inside, they borrow a slew of elements and tech upgrades from BMW's Neue Klasse models, namely the iX3 and i3. The 7 Series LCI also sports enhancements under the skin, specifically increased power outputs from its petrol and diesel engines in the 740i and 740d variants, respectively. Similar upgrades have also been made possible for the i7 LCI by way of new-gen battery cell technology, including larger batteries, more power, and quicker charging speeds.
