A large model of care occurred in April 2005. While there was the 7 before the model received good care abroad - for example in the U.S., Russia, Asia and the Arab world - but the design was most Europeans extrovert. The ambiguous design therefore required profound changes. During the scheduled upcoming product refresh (in the BMW-jargon "LCI" called › Lifecycle pulse) in the middle of the life cycle of the E65 got the car a distinctly different appearance. The whole front was a whole round. It enlarged the kidneys and broadened the chrome frame. The headlights were serially converted to xenon, are flat, receive flowing shape and the former so-called "Tears sacks" disappeared to a more friendly image of the front to mediate. The bonnet since the revision was fluent in headlights on and kidneys. On the rear one-sided trunk plateau often criticized by the trunk lid through distributors tail lights and a horizontal chrome bar for the rest of integrated rear. The tail lights got a new design with LED technology. Even the rear has been modified. The revised rear impact is now significantly wider. In addition, each got now 7-chrome model applications to the Stoßleisten, which previously only reserved for the long version was (except for the special equipment "Shadow Line"). Inside was an innovative, but due to its complexity strong criticism in the standing-iDrive operating concept revised and simplified. In addition, new colors (metallic Barberarot, Michiganblau Metallic, Monaco Blue Metallic, Deep Green Metallic) and Timber (17 to 21 inches) are offered. All engine variants with the exception of the 760i have been revised. The replacement of the model internally designated by the BMW F01 is on 14 November 2008 is done.
