They will come when BMW can sell them at a price they can make a nice living from. those 316i were indeed premium compared to for example a base model Ford Mondeo, and got a much higher price tag to boot. Same will be true for the i1 compared to its rivals.
So 4.38 to 60 is acceptable, but just a hint over 300 miles with a 100 kWh battery isn’t. Especially charging with slow 400VDC. So Jeeves is going to be able to pick up the dry cleaning or charge the car but not both.😏
Comfort and features look impressive. Performance, not so much. Definitely not the "ultimate driving machine." How much profit do you think BMW is making on each car starting at $120,000? I would guess none.
Buttons on luxury cars are cool. There is nothing luxurious about having to adjust your seats over a touchscreen. It's like with high end audio systems. It's mostly physical knobs and buttons and no cheap touchscreens.
Nothing luxurious about one tablet pasted on the dash. Controls cost money. Even though redundant you have a choice. Touch screen, voice, i-drive. To think a Tesla doesn't even have HUD, lol.
yeah 4.3 sec 0-60 isnt impressive by EV standards and even in todays ICE standards. You have everyday vehicles less than half the price that would smoke this thing. But for luxury you get that but its lacking on looks and kind of lacking on speed compared to some of its ICE counterparts
Let's be honest here, with car manufacturers moving towards subscriptions for basic services. For example, subscription for heated seats and remote start as well as a heated steering wheel. BMW is probably going to charge subscription fee for faster opening and closing doors.
Nice car. Don't know why anyone would want such a heavy limo like car to go faster than 0-60 in less than 4.5 secs, unless a fast & the furious wannabe...
I'm guessing the front seats can be adjusted from the back as well. I think it's stupid why the option isn't displayed with a button with the warning. Otherwise just the usual, the well-made luxury ambience as you know it
The largest percentage of i7’s will be sold to Asia where rich business men and women will be chauffeured around in traffic. Pretty certain BMW are well aware of this hence why they feel 500bhp is sufficient. I doubt too many i7’s bought will be getting launched by their owners. There’s a 32inch clue this car is not aimed at the dude holding the steering wheel.
U get the boost for those 10 seconds. You’re one of my favorite channels but i wish you looked into the car a little first before going over it lol. Bring back the drag races!!!
@@dzerres The Chinese market likes the look. BMW mentioned it in one of their press releases for the i7. BMW doesn't care where there cars are going, just what sells the best.
The 60 comes from previous BMWs. Traditionally, on the 7 series, a suffix "40" would denote a V8 ( which was a 4.0L engine) and a "50" would signify a V12 (which was around 5.0L). For example, in the E32/38 7 series, there were 4 (I think) models you could have and two engines; a 740i or a 740iL and a 750i or a 750iL. The "L" would be there if the model was a long wheelbase model. and the 40 or the 50 after the 7 told people what engine was in the car. Somewhere along the way, a 760i was added when BMW moved to a 6 liter V12. My guess is that BMW just threw the 60 on there for heritage's sake and chose 60 as they might see electric motors as an equivalent to the V12 as it is now the top of the line 7 series. BMW's naming scheme is endlessly complicated and it's almost impossible to tell when a number means one thing and when it means something else, especially with all the electric cars floating around.
Well, not exactly and I will explain why: The numbers really were supposed to represent the apparent capacity of the engine, not the number of cylinders. so 40 is four liter (4.0) , 50 is five liter (5.0) etc. The number of cylinders increasing by 2 for every number 10 (1 liter) is just a function of BMWs using 500cc cylinders when the v8 and V12 engines were introduced. So the number really isnt that complicated, its still supposed to be based on apparent capacity, or these days more accurately represented as the power level an engine of that apparent capacity would be expected to output. So Brooks sort of got it right.
@@GoldenCroc Right -- I did mention that 40 related to 4.0 and 50 to 5.0, in a bit of a roundabout way I suppose. And you correctly write that the number increasing by 10 relates to the engine capacity rising by 1 liter. But, and I think you would agree, the 500cc cylinder situation is only the case with the V8, not the V12 as the V8 was introduced as a 4.0L and the V12 as a 5.4L. Later, with the 760i, BMW used 500cc cylinders. Funnily enough though, the V8s are no longer always 500cc cylinders (later iterations of the N63 V8, for example). You're right, the number isn't that complicated on the E32/E38 and some other earlier BMWs. Where it gets a little confusing for me is why a car labeled 740i has an I6 instead of a V8 (this was the case with the G11 7 series).
@@lucaduina2781 No, the v12 actually was introduced as a 5.0 liter in the E32 chassis when it first came out, it got 5.4 only after several years in the e38. It was also the 90s generation BMW cars that started deviate more commonly from the capacity as a x/10 of whats stamped on the bootlid when the earlier engines got updated. Examples: 5.4 v12 in the 750i e38, 4.4 v8 in the 540i e39, 2.8 straight six in the 323i e36. You will have to go back to the 1980s for it to be almost always be corresponding to the bootlid, but even then there was for example the 745i from the early 1980s already, which used a turbocharged straight 6 (of just 3.2 liter from the start), just like the "40i" does today. So I see why you thought it might be like you stated, but only indirectly. Perhaps you mixed up their engine codes (which arent a part of any model name or written on the car) as the number? For example: engine code M*4*0B18 (the four is 4 cylinder code) engine code M*5*0B25 (the five is 6 cylinder code) engine code M*6*0B40 (the six is 8 cylinder code) engine code M*7*0B50 (the seven is 12 cylinder code) engine code S*8*5B50 (the eight is 10 cylinder code, because the v12 came out 17 years earlier and had already used the *7*). Long post but hopefully it should clesr up a bit.. I have been into BMW engines for a long time... 😄
It's ok I guess. Certainly not attractive. I find the Air more most attractive in the class. And I also find a lot of the features gimmicky and the interior tech too busy.
@@DragTimes Tesla Price drop on the Plaid just cuts the throat of Lucid, BMW, Mercedes, GM, Porsche etc.. and yesterday before this reduction Lucid was already slated to go bankrupt. Plaid is superior to everything on the road in every metric, the haters that haven't driven them have no clue how far ahead Tesla is from every single car company.
side profile is pretty plain and for some reason reminds me of one of the later Saturn sadans. Definitely wouldnt pay that much for something so plain on the outside. The inside is pretty cool but not worth the money. plus tail lights remind me of the mercedes sl 55
The more these ugly new high tech neutered cars get released, the more valuable the 'old' classic designs will become. Because of the rich who can buy or finance the latest ugly new fad cars, bmw will keep making them.
Happy birthday Mr Brooks🥳👏👍God bless you,bring us always the best of W.O.T😉👉Really i drove the IX50,here in🇧🇷,two and half tonnes,amazing aceleration,and incredible interactivity ,no doubt,⚡⚡⚡ no return point!🏁
No comparison. With the recent price cuts you can now get a Plaid for under $120K and the long range for just under $95K. Nonetheless nice car by BMW but it is a barge which for an EV is counterproductive. How is it a competitor to the Plaid and Lucid? The Model S LR does high to mid 10's and is much more efficient overall. Makes no sense.
I think its a competitor in many more prospective buyers mind than not. Cant be many (as a percentage) potential customers that really care about 9 second quarter miles really. I would think once you get to the level of 12-13 seconds, most buyers in this categorie think its "good enough". Certainly in its home country of germany for sure those cusomers are in the majority. I would think that even goes for the US as well.
@@GoldenCroc Yeah I only brought up 1/4 mile times and such because Brooks was using that metric. I'm sure some buyers in that $150K price point may consider interior space and appointments over brutal acceleration. It really comes down to what you prioritize in a car. For me, the interior is very nice but too cluttered and thus a distraction for me. I like simplicity and form over function with performance that puts a smile on my face.
The i7 has features, comfort and build quality that the TMS Plaid can only dream of. For those wanting the ultimate ev luxury this car is fast enough. If you do not care about those things, only about dragracing, go ahead and buy a Plaid.
You can tell Brooks isn’t a big BMW guy 😂 kept comparing this to a plaid. Who says this car is to compete with Tesla? This is a whole different level of car. I can see if there was an electric M5 or something, then yeah, compare them. This is a straight luxury car. Not meant to be a 0-60 rocket. Just so happens that it’s electric as well. Electric doesn’t equal automatically compare to a plaid. The “60” stands for performance. Again, a number doesn’t equal performance. Just as the Taycan Turbo/Turbo s is directed at performance. Is it silly? Absolutely.
Why did you need to go to the front to use the control in order to move the front seat forward? If this is the only way to do it, BMW need to rework the controls of this big a$$ boat. It should be smarter than this. When the rear passenger tries to open the panel and the front seat is in the way, it should also sense that there no one in the front seat and prompts the rear passender to move the front seat through the touch screen control on the back door... if there is a driver in the seat and it is also in the way of the panel, it should say panle can't open cuz front seat is in the way and occupied. I guess this will be an easy fix before they go to production.
There is no 7 Series equivalent Tesla though. The 5 series is more similar to a model S, so I'd expect a really fast electric i5 M something that will be wicked fast, built properly by a car company that has been around for nearly 100 years and will kill a Tesla in many ways.
Dragtimes Awesome Review I think the All new BMW I7 is awesome and I think it's awesome that it can go 0-60 in 4.38 seconds although I would get an M8 Competition for the price
@@brownro214 Lmao. What profit, their stock is one massive bubble that's gonna burst, already started, quality is crap, cars are waiting on stock in warehouses and no one want's them, that's why they're giving 7k off now, but still having trouble to sell.
The same company that is making some of the highest rated EVs in their classes. In real life, the ix blows away the Tesla and all other EV SAVs in range (Edmunds Test). Car and drivers and others rate the i4 number one in its class over the 3rd place Tesla. Others say the i7 is Rolls Royce comfort for a fraction of the price.
Well Brooks, I dig your racing videos. That's why I started to watch your channel to begin with. But car reviews, especially on novelty electric cars are about as interesting to me as watching paint dry. Good luck with that.
I think Tesla is going for a different "luxury" than the traditional. Someone earlier stated that all of those buttons and gadgetry and stuff is great for the younger crowd but at some point you just want the basics and then you drive. It's just gimmickery to give you the sense you're getting more so they can put a higher price tag on it. Not fooled. They can keep that 💩. I just want to drive. 💯💯
@@ChosenMJ let's talk about sound insulation and ride quality between the model s and bmw i7 In this segment the i7 POOPS on tesla, these two aspects is what is important in this class of cars not doing quarter mile time in drag strip , any person who thinks that tesla is better than the i7 needs to check his mental status.
EVs are on a different level when it comes to power, so it's kind of sad to see how little power these mainstream companies are putting into them. 500hp sounds decent in a regular car, but in EV world that is baby's first horsepower levels. The Plaid and the Lucid are making double the power at the same price, and quite frankly I expect to see 700-800hp in a car like this, at a minimum. It seems they were so determined to get a higher range number that they sacrificed the BMW mantra of lots of power in a luxury vehicle.
This isn’t a GT3. It’s a car which will mostly be sold in Asia where the vast majority of people who buy them will sit in the back in traffic. The 32inch screen aint for the driver’s purpose now is it. Pretty certain BMW know this hence why they feel 500bhp is plenty for the person being paid to turn the wheel.
@@boostercontrol100 that’s just you. Why do you think people pay $300k+ for rolls Royces and not $150k for a Porsche 911 turbo s? Why would they pay 2x more for a slower, less power car? You get a lot more tech, features and comfort in the BMW plus it’s BMW with German engineering and KIA with Korean engineeeing so even if the Kia is more powerful it wouldn’t beat the BMW in a full on race
If you think the car is all about performance,you have a severe lack of knowledge in cars, BMW i7 rides a 100000X better than any tesla right now , let's not talk about the interior quality and paint finish. 😊

Tesla will need another decade to catch up with a quality to a BMW, if ever.. And this feels like Rolls Royce since BMW owns them.
And, BMW will need at least a decade to catch up to Tesla on production efficiency and profit.
@@brownro214 so you are worry about the production line of bmw and not worry about the crap quality of tesla?
@@brownro214 Lmao. What profit, their stock is one massive bubble that's gonna burst, already started, quality is crap, cars are waiting on stock in warehouses and no one want's them, that's why they're giving 7k off now, but still having trouble to sell.
BMW is bringing a faster version I believe the M770.
I7 M70
Hye brooks😊
Let’s face it folks, this is the same company that brought out the i3… god help us.
The same company that is making some of the highest rated EVs in their classes. In real life, the ix blows away the Tesla and all other EV SAVs in range (Edmunds Test). Car and drivers and others rate the i4 number one in its class over the 3rd place Tesla. Others say the i7 is Rolls Royce comfort for a fraction of the price.
@@hotrod182 haptic and touch just about everywhere kills it for me. but who cares! could never afford one
Stupid car!!😂😂😂😂
Looks like a Jeep
Yeah and not the best of Jeeps either
Well Brooks, I dig your racing videos. That's why I started to watch your channel to begin with. But car reviews, especially on novelty electric cars are about as interesting to me as watching paint dry. Good luck with that.
In terms of EVs, I'm most excited about Chevy. The Silverado and Equinox EVs look great inside and out.
I don't get it. All the OEM see what the competition does and this is what they come back with? Lame.
Software is laggy, to little Performance and the boost is only avaikable FOR 10 seconds at a time😂
One look at this interior makes me laugh even harder at Tesla for saying they are a luxury brand. 🤣
I think Tesla is going for a different "luxury" than the traditional. Someone earlier stated that all of those buttons and gadgetry and stuff is great for the younger crowd but at some point you just want the basics and then you drive. It's just gimmickery to give you the sense you're getting more so they can put a higher price tag on it. Not fooled. They can keep that 💩. I just want to drive. 💯💯
@@ChosenMJ a different kind of luxury? There is nothing luxury about a Tesla
@@zonapainter Do you even know what luxury means?
@@ChosenMJ do you?
@@ChosenMJ let's talk about sound insulation and ride quality between the model s and bmw i7
In this segment the i7 POOPS on tesla, these two aspects is what is important in this class of cars not doing quarter mile time in drag strip , any person who thinks that tesla is better than the i7 needs to check his mental status.
EVs are on a different level when it comes to power, so it's kind of sad to see how little power these mainstream companies are putting into them. 500hp sounds decent in a regular car, but in EV world that is baby's first horsepower levels. The Plaid and the Lucid are making double the power at the same price, and quite frankly I expect to see 700-800hp in a car like this, at a minimum.
It seems they were so determined to get a higher range number that they sacrificed the BMW mantra of lots of power in a luxury vehicle.
This isn’t a GT3. It’s a car which will mostly be sold in Asia where the vast majority of people who buy them will sit in the back in traffic. The 32inch screen aint for the driver’s purpose now is it. Pretty certain BMW know this hence why they feel 500bhp is plenty for the person being paid to turn the wheel.
This is a luxury car not a sports car not everything has to be a bout speed and power
1:24 door closing sounds like a cheap 80's Japanese car. BMW is not what it used to be any more.
Wow sticking w plain Y,
L channel
This day and age that should be 800 to 900hp. The new electric Kia at 585hp.. 537hp mega meh for a premium electric vehicle with a huge battery.
It's made for luxury, not dragracing.
@@bjornar9026 where did I say it's made for drag racing? It's about having a competitive power level for the price. People want luxury and power..
@@boostercontrol100 people want luxury comfort and reliability
@@NICKCAMP04 Yeah but for $150,000 id want more power than the Kia competitor. Thats part of being a "premium vehicle" for most people.
@@boostercontrol100 that’s just you. Why do you think people pay $300k+ for rolls Royces and not $150k for a Porsche 911 turbo s? Why would they pay 2x more for a slower, less power car? You get a lot more tech, features and comfort in the BMW plus it’s BMW with German engineering and KIA with Korean engineeeing so even if the Kia is more powerful it wouldn’t beat the BMW in a full on race
AND STILL !!!!! The undisputed champion of EV’s TESLA MODEL S PLAID
I’d check out Hagerty’s channel and watch their latest drag race.
If you think the car is all about performance,you have a severe lack of knowledge in cars, BMW i7 rides a 100000X better than any tesla right now , let's not talk about the interior quality and paint finish. 😊
The model s plaid looks cheaply built compared to this though
A full entertainment center on wherls.....Doesn't matter that 90% of the muscle cars would drop this like a bad dream! Brooks, go back and do some reviews of cars we would like to own!
At least it looks like a BMW.
Plaid baby! 🙏⚡🇺🇸
Electric American Muscle #1
@@larryc1616 what does the plaid has to do with this video?
In my country, we cook with electricity, plow the field with diesel and drive a car with gasoline....
Your country is third world.
@@electrikoptik
No your country is third world. And btw Nikola Tesla comes from my country. Your country is based on wars, slavery....
Zero reserch done on this car 😔 boost mode gives you extra power for 10 seconds when your already on the move, who launches a limo anyway
so why have launch control?
@@DragTimes I don't understand the benefits of such a car having it, the 10 seconds of boost work for overtaking is enough.
