      Curious Mr. Thomas while you were there at the event did you get a chance to see the 7 series as well? only curious because wondering if there's any difference in the exterior from the 7 series and the i7 even if only it's a slight difference ...
      Since the release I've seen some angle photos where the 7 series kind of resembles Bentley lines and the i7 looked little different , anyway just curious

Yes, the penultimate 7 series was very technologically advanced, but I find this latest 7 series more technologically advanced than the new Mercedes s-class, even a little more luxurious than the current S-Class

      Yeah it's a bit too square, too rolls roys look alike. And that tablet...they should integrate that in the dashboard not just let it float like that. But I like the car overall, I think it's pretty neat. I don't like the EQS style on the outside and the EQXX is a bit too much. The interior in the EQXX is a big NO. I think the i7 is pretty well designed it might have a different impact if you see it in person. I don't like the new S class interior neither. It's a fail from me. It think the i7 is the best till now. The screen in EQS is a bit too big, a bit too much

    Hi Thomas, great video as always, but I have one question. When the 'executive position' is activated, and the front passenger seat is fully forward, can the driver still use the door mirror on the front passenger side? It looks on the video to be obscured. If that is the case, surely a safety issue?

Meanwhile BMW still trying to use their iconic kidney grilles but just 10 times larger. The lines are incoherent between one and the other. There's just too much going on.

    Hi Thomas, excellent review as usually, thanks for your commitment to the car community. As a BMW fan boy, I think that BMW is still keeping the emphasize on the driving experience. I really appreciate the head of interior design, who really nails the last production cars released lastly. I’m not so sure about the exterior who mixes Asian front end design with (cocorico I am french) the DS9ish back design. My opinion is, that car is mostly suited for the Asian market rather than European. I am certainly a boomer but definitely this exterior design doesn’t speak to me, I feel nostalgic and in love with the e38 design, last and best ever design IMAO.
    Cheers and keep the good reviews going!

    05:14 I'm curious as to why BMW are only selling the V8 version in the USA? I would have thought that with the large amounts of time Americans spend on the road, the diesel would be more popular? Or perhaps the expected audience in the USA prefers to get on a plane as opposed to the open highway? That would mean that the time they _do_ spend driving is closer to towns/cities... but in that case, wouldn't the hybrid mame more sense? Idk 🤷‍♂️

    Everything is fancy, but when you replace all the classical controls with small touch screens (like in the back), then this system should work smooth. As you can see in the video, they are lagging a lot. It doesn't give premium vibe to it. I like how the 2 million Porsche 918 Spyder has big touch-enabled central console, but the system lags a lot when you try to swipe things on it.

    Interesting differences in approach with regards developing their EV business. Merc believes they have to build an EV brand from scratch and hence the distinct, low COD design of the EQS. BMW on the other hand is blending the two and using the new designs associated with EVs as an opportunity to introduce bold designs for its traditional models.

    • @iSOBigD
      @iSOBigD ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I would argue the tech is also not very impressive. They slapped on screens like the S class had, and now most cars have. Having touch screens in the back is a nice gimmick, but you could put in 10-15 year old phones and it would be the same, it's nothing really advanced. The TV makes no sense because it's not in front of you if you're sitting in the two rear seats, and it's a weird wide aspect ratio which means all content will be cropped heavily. You get an 8k display, 1-2 feet away from your face, at a weird angle, without any footage because you'd need at least 16k just to be able to crop enough of the top and bottom to fit this thing...I don't see the point. I do like some of the design ideas like adding some glass materials like in the Lexus LS, speakers near the driver's head and some laser cut speaker grills, though that particular pattern looks very messy...But overall it looks like a mess of random ideas and a really unappealing exterior with headlights out of a Hyundai Kona or older Jeep Cherokee. Between that and cloth seats with those plain V patterns, take out the screens and it doesn't scream "expensive". Maybe it'll grow on me but at first glance I think BMW should replace their exterior design team.

      That interior looks very much like the 7 series interiors of old - like a 2015 730i. A huge center console taking up space and a weird aluminum-foil looking speaker panel on the doors. The interior isn’t as hideous as the front of the car, but it isn’t special. All in all, a pedestrian looking car with no panache.

    Interior is pretty much perfect, exterior is the opposite of perfect

    There are many things that I actually like about this, but damn, manufacturers really try their best to overcomplicate things, like doorhandles, illuminating everything. In this specific case closing mechanism for ventilation. Also did anyone notice that backdoor had that tiny window part frameless. Why make it so much worse from structure point of view.

      And that's why A Rolls Royce is a Rolls Royce. It's simple and elegant and easy to use. And isn't stuffed full of useless tech, an 8K screen? Really? What is their to watch in 8K?
