I was in the market for a sedan. The BMW i7 is a total length of 212 inches which is a little too long for me since my garage isn’t that deep, so I went with a 2012 Honda Civic instead
I was also considering the i7, along with the new Ghost. The eventual choice was of course a 2003 Sebring
@@jcartledge303 Smart buy. It can't lose any more value.
You can get a core i9 under 700 dollars
Hahahha top joke!
Very good choice 👍🏼
You know you did good job on front end design when your selling point is "it's not that bad on dark color car"
And he is right, its not that bad on a darker car but it certainly isnt beautiful compared to the previous gen 😅😅
Exactly 👌😂
They stole the front end clip off the 5th gen Jeep Cherokee
@@KniteTime yeah seems like it
It's not beautiful, but it's not ugly.
It's interesting.
I love the features and tech in this car but I can’t imagine this thing after 10 years. So many damn sensors and screens must cost a fortune when one goes out.
As the owner of a loaded 5 series bought new and kept in pristine condition with low mileage, I’d ask you to imagine it after 3 years not 10. While I know some will say, people with the money to buy the i7 don’t worry about it falling apart in short order, I do wonder why those same people will, say, screw employees, tradespeople, lawyers, etc to save a buck or 1 million but happily fork out a king’s ransom for a car that breaks 5 minutes after they drive it off the lot.
@@antipodeanwizard1632 I like BMW but it seems apparent why the resale is so terribly low on them.
Way too over engineered
Imagine if you wreck it and they fix it. I can't imagine it would ever be the same. Seems like you would always have some type of electronic problem.
This will be the norm for everything in 2 years you don’t wanna know what 10 years hold if we ever even see that amount of time
This whole car is next level, and then you see the GUI of the back seat passengers and you wonder why they hired a graphic designer from 2010 to design the menu
Honestly don't see the appeal of the mini smartphones they put onto the side. You know passengers are just going to prefer using their smartphone to control all this stuff.
I like it, 2010 design is a lot more interesting than boring flat design from today
In automotive engineering, things move slow, I would not be surprised if the GUI is 5 years old at this point.
Looked pretty OK. Easy to use touch and still decent resolution. Any time BMW choose simplicity in design they should be credited. It's not like them any more.
What was that criminal climate control UI? Why are the door locks capacitive buttons but the window switches physical buttons? This looks like a half-baked 2005 hot mess of design. Wouldn’t drive it for free.
Can you imagine buying a new 7 series and in the car camera gallery there's Doug DeMuro smiling at you.
I can't imagine buying a new 7-Series and it looks like every paint inspector was on vacation. They completely forgot to polish the paint.
Screen intro: ''WelCOMe to CaaaRs anD bIDs!!''
@@bwofficial1776 huh? This one has a matte grey paint. It won't be polished or shiny.
*Increases value* 1 of 1 i7 with a Doug face
Can you imagine if your dad would've pulled out sooner we wouldn't have to listen to you.
Gotta love Doug just casually promoting Cars & Bids while standing next to an MC12
Stradale 😉
I believe he does that in every video
Are you new to this channel? Because he does that in every single video
@@Sevan_UP Nope. Longtime Doug fan since 2018. I just find it funny
@@bonzobonanza though the same thing, he is just casually talking and promoting cars and bids next to a fricken mc12
Doug, could you incorporate drive by footage of the vehicles? I love seeing them on the road from an outside perspective. Great video btw, per usual!!
He won't. He never does what subscribers ask.
He actually used to do this quite commonly in his old videos from like 2016 and 2017. I don’t know why he stopped. But that’s when he did his different format prior to the dougscore
@@carycoller3140exactly he never gives the audience what they want and that is why he has such a big audience and why we watch him! Wait
@erik3371 For sure I wasn't criticizing. Just stating a well known fact.
@@carycoller3140 and I agreed with you and stated the same?
I am a big fan of the new 7 series, the technology is insanely impressive. I think it looks much better than the last post LCI model and the interior is gorgeous
Doug's choice of Avril Lavigne - Complicated for displaying the door screen 🤣
The moment the rear movie screen folded down there was a show "wasting money" or something like that!
Glad we caught this 😅
That's quirks and features of his videos :D
Never expected to come to an era where cars look and feel more and more like smartphones.
Normally I hate all the screens in cars, but it sort of makes sense for an EV... When you are stuck charging you can mess around with the car.
Thank Tesla
It was never OK to have pocket phones that can do more than a 6-figure car. About time car makers stepped it up.
And before anyone mentions Tesla, they are LAME in terms of tech use in their cars, so much left on the table there. For instance with the main screen interface. Music players in the 80s had optional skins. Tesla didn't chance in 10 years, often takes steps back.
Smarter cars are the perfect "vehicle" for in car subscriptions and apps. Manufacturers are gonna make so much money off this stuff :(
Yeah…you’ll also want to dump them every 2-3 years like a smart phone too when all the crap starts breaking or becoming outdated and glitchy😂
I think that augmented reality thing is something that’s plausible in the future of cars. Imagine if something like that could project on your windshield like current day HUDs. It would be like a video game
Or you could just look out the windscreen at the real world.
Doug is the type of guy who will carry on a conversation with the BMW voice.
Side profiles, especially the doors, roof and the overall body silhouette takes volumes of inspiration from Rolls Royce.
And that's why I don't get why people say they think the exterior is ugly. Sure the front grill doesn't look as nice as a RR but the silhouette is beautiful. I agree with Doug I think it looks appropriately big and stately.
Yeah I see it 😳
The headlights configuration and big grille look eerily similar to the newly-announced Rolls Royce Spectre too!
7 Series basically is an RR, same platform and engines
Bmw owns RR
Having owned a couple older 7 series cars in the past I cant imagine how fast this will depreciate after warranty and with how niche all these parts are, I cant imagine how expensive and hard to get the parts will be to fix this. Seems like it will just be disposable after 10 years.
Literally a giant disposable camera haha
I hope in tens you have another car instead of the i7 🤣🤣 glad you know the future and things change my friend stop living in the past
That’s part of the flex with these cars - you’d only buy one if you do not care what they cost to operate or what the residual value is.
@@BrettLevin4096 I get but all cars do but at the same time you are using them so it’s ok for I have the s class new on they have a million updates ect and issues and they will depreciate if I where to be worry about that I be looking for car that don’t deprecate I think Bmw for the first time surpass the s class with its tech and we gotta give them there credit look at the Range Rover the worst car to get new deprecates so much but people still want new
Yeah no one will ever touch this thing in 10 years. All of them are headed to the scrapyard.
BMW took it up a level with this car
Finally can compete with S class and maybach. Been asking for this for years.
@@Wicked_RotF30 i7 surpasses them
Yeah...up a level..way up in Ugliness. Inside and Out!
Took it up a level of ugliness and is slowly destroying the souls of cars, yes.
@@bmar916 remember when we were kids we would Draw a Car with a fucking Crayon? It would look like a Box on wheels! Well, here it is. Wait till u see this Monstrosity on the streets. Saw one last week on 5th ave here in manhattan...didn't know whether to laugh or cry?
The oversized BMW grille kind of works on big cars like the 7 series and X5/7… I see it and it reminds me of how Rolls Royces and Bentleys have large grilles, which is most likely the intention.
Definitely. They sell them with 2 tone coach style paint jobs just like the rolls. Looks amazing too. Mercedes is doing the same.
Rolls royce is BMW btw, so Yeah I can see that.
His 25-30min videos feels like a 10min short video because he knows exactly how to keep you very interested, like you can't even skip a single second
i skipped through most of it...predictable stuff, only parts I didnt skip were the parts of the tv screen and score lol
The ugliest sedan I have ever seen
“Before I get started…” skip skip skip skip
@@OutsideDuhBox You actually watch for the Doug score?
@@JamarD421 Bruh...you fr? What do you watch for? dont say for the car..because if so, so many other channels do this AND do performance figures...
I think power doors that need a suite of sensors to open and take longer than just opening a door with your hands like a normal human are the perfect analogy of what's wrong with the car industry today. And before I get called a boomer I'm only 27 😩.
Edit: i take that back, this whole car is everything I hate about the modern car industry
Couldn't agree more!
It’s a high end executive sedan?, that’s what they’ve always been about. A bunch of features the customer can show off to the neighbors and clientele and then break after it’s out of warranty and owned by a clueless sap
I like the Body Style of this BMW. Everything else about it would piss me off to the point of not wanting to drive it... If I could afford it. Big Money Waster lives up to its name lol.
Absolutely. And considering this is a BMW, all of these will be in the scrap by the time the 2nd owner is done with it. You could at least try and sort out the electronics in the older ones but no one will even come close to touching this lol.
couldn't agree more too..man am really shocked at what am seeing..
Favorite quirk without a doubt is the hazard light indicator on the jagged dash panel. Super sick!
🎉Congrats Gille !
It is absolutely insane that one car company was able to made its entire model lineup unbearable to look at. That's unprecedented. Even SsangYong wasn't able to achieve this. Citroen is trying really hard too nowadays, but they just can't keep up with BMW.
I absolutely love all the new BMW's designs. But they really do split the public in half, you either love it or hate it.
@@raidzor5452 I'm not sure it's "half". I think it's you, the BMW designer then literally everyone else on the planet.
I found all new designs are aggressive and gorgeous. They are making something unique and gorgeous. That's why BMW is always number one.
I think it looks STUNNING!! Very distinctive among the streamlined majority all the companies produce these days. Very smart move on the BMW part. I get that the design is very polarizing, but some would LOVE it instead of just LIKE it.
Thank God they kept the V8 4.4.
Love this great content. I was wondering what camera and lens are you using?
I bought the gas model (760i) about a month ago and I just love it! At first, I wasn't sure about the grill, but it's grown on me. I got the crystal headlamps as well and if you're going to buy one of these, it's a must have (they're so pretty). The exterior is really nice but what sets this car apart is the interior. My previous car was a 2017 750i and this is just light years beyond that. I loved my 750i when I bought it, but BMW has really stepped up their game. I went to the dealership anticipating on purchasing the Mercedes S class, but once I compared both, there was no way I wasn't going to buy the BMW. It's just a beautiful car. The TV in the back is my only real criticism. It's very nice for the passengers in the back but I don't like how it blocks the rear-view mirror. I tend to use that a lot more than my side mirrors and when the TV is down, you can't see anything out of the back. I would like in a software update for the rear camera to enable when the TV is down so the driver can easily see out of the back while driving. One other thing is the vent system. I personally like the air blowing cold right at me during the summer but without the full vents, you really don't get that anymore. It still cools the car, but I really like feeling the air on my face and you don't get that sensation with this design. Still, I give it a solid 9.5/10. Best car I've ever owned!
Completely agree, the crystal headlights are a must have! I work at a BMW dealership, I have a remedy for you that might help. Down on the center console there’s a little “P” button with a camera on it as well, press that while driving & it’ll enable the rear-parking camera even if you’re driving forwards. Now you’ll be able to see out of the back with the TV down.
How are you so Ruch
@@PrankingThat I didn't know. I'll have to try that next time. Still, they should make it automatically enable when the TV is down, but this is good to know. Thanks
@@Dan_YerlllI wouldn't say I'm rich but I make enough to have a few nice things.

Stop with these type of Doug jokes.
Old and used.
@@user-gl5ld9vm7i *used and new
Doug is always teasing us with the upcoming videos when he goes to talk about his segway to cars and bids 😂
That's great marketing, honestly. You promote your website AND also tease your next car reviews at the same time!
And he always gets to the main event at around 1:25
looks like a Dougcember Video
He showed a Renault Clio a while back and has never released the video…
ITYM "segue" -- a "segway" is an overpriced scooter.
Doug, you overlooked demonstrating that from the rear passenger seat you can have the front passenger seat move all the way forward so the rear passenger seat car can reconfigure itself into being a recliner/lounge chair.
BMW created this 7 series exactly for Doug, so he can enjoy with quirks and features
Still doesn't get a 10 for featues.
Imagine how many fault code sensors this will have in a few years.
The thing I like about this car it doesn't scream flashy.
Ya, it screams “what in gods name is that ugly pile of garbage?”
@@Vito_Caligiuri Nah it's gorgeous
yes, just a few months of normal driving will produce dozens of faults on this monster
The owners manual is likely the size of a dictionary
Came back to see some Doug year later glad he never shows the front of a car or a 360
I had a 2017 750I and I loved it. I sold it to get the 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid, and every time I drive it, I am reminded of why I did it. I don't even let FSD take over because I am jealous. It drives that good.
I love that hazard lights idea, flashing on the dash. That is ingenious
This car would match nicely with my Intel Core i7-powered computer.
I hope BMW will release an i9 model.
W comment
Don’t worry, it will show you why it’s still an i7😊
Bro! Get the drums out 😂😂😂😂
@@joelflex I'll take a Mercedes AMD Threadripper model.
@@americansmark as long as it has ray tracing enabled that’s all that I look for in a drive train

Lmao
If you see a new 7 series taxi, run. run quick.
I was curious to watch this having just purchased an I4. Little thing likes the extra sensors, heated back seats, extra entertainment in the back, more phone pairing seems like it would be nice. But I'm fine with my I4 EDrive 40. I have to say the new I series from what I am reading and experiencing knocked it out out of the park. The hidden thing I either glossed over or did not catch was the range is higher than I was expecting. I do mostly city only driving and find myself only charging my car at home every once a week or so. That is a pleasant surprise. And that is me using comfort mode and heating the cabin and everything. The algorithms BMW uses are more for you driving since deliver, or last charge, or a trip. So it's smart enough to tailor it to show you what you will get with a full charge based on your habits over all. Seems like electric is the future and BMW's new I series are doing great.
Thanks for the great overview. I can see myself having a date in this beauty 😬
I personally prefer the way the new 7-Series looks compared to the EQS. It definitely looks more stately than the EQS and it kind of reminds me of the 2002-2008 7-Series from the side. Of course, the controversial design queues are subdued if you get the car in a dark color and the example Doug reviewed looks pretty badass.
That’s like giving one sibling a complement on their looks by comparing them to an even uglier sibling 😂
@SYED RIPEJ h. H. H.
EQS 580 is faster, has better ride quality, better fit/finish, better breaking/handling, better infotainment and better sound system, better ambient lighting.. I've driven both of these, no competition.
@@danielmiller9012 You can have your opinion, and I have my opinion. My opinion is that I believe the new 7-Series is far more interesting than the EQS in every way. Besides, the primary intention of both of these sedans is luxury over performance.
How do you think it compares to the last 7 series, the one with the good looking kidney grills?
If you think this one looks better, can you answer me one question and please take no offense by it, it’s not racist!
Are you of Asian, or middle eastern ancestry?
Those are the markets this new look is designed for, especially the Chinese market.
Europeans, Americans and especially Germans absolutely hate this design, even the people working for the manufacturers (often even people from the design departments..)
One of those cars you can drive for years and still find options you didn’t know you had 😂
Provided that they still work.
And imagine the trolling you can do. You can teach the car to, as an example, open the window when you're at a certain location (entrance parking garage or something). The amount of trolling you can build in to it whenever someone else drives it, is endless.. 🙂
Unless you watch this video XD
Itll be in a scrapyard in 5 years max.
@@123123boobies seriously tho, these batteries are gonna die quickly with all the electronics in use... people will still say electric cars are eco friendly
0:35 Big Doug finally got his hands on a Maserati MC12 to review! Can't wait for that one (meanwhile I'll polish up the nice MC12 1 to 18 scale model I have)
This new 7 series was actually codeveloped with Rolls Royce. I learned that when I took my mom to a bmw dealer to get the new x4 m40i and the sales guy was talking to me about the 7 series. Also if I’m not mistaken that upper light is crystal from what I saw on short about it.
Doug my man how did you come up with the "V6" at 20:35 :D
How embarrassing :P
I was just going to comment on this as well, almost posted my own reply but scrolled to find this one.
I6, b58 twin scroll single turbski Mr.DeMuro
Imagine the cost of some tiny damage repairs on these
clearly you're not in the financial demographic of people who would consider this car so no one really cares
That’s why that depreciation off the lot and at resell has always been a steep fall off.
This is def a "if you have to ask you cant afford it" kinda car 🤣 These get leased out mostly because rich people want a new car evrey 2 years.
This car isn't intended for those who only earn $100k a year or below. The car is for those who can afford it and the upkeep..
Do you really think heads of State and multi- millionaires give a rat's ass about the repair cost of a window switch or an air condition button?
as if anyone buying this cares what the cost of repairs are, people lease these.
I think this car looks gorgeous and stately. I love the crystal touches as well.
I like how doug is roasting the viewer along the video....like by saying "in your plebian car" that kills me 🤣
What a beautiful MC12, cant wait for that one, maybe not till Dougcember? That's got to be a pretty good one :)
I wish it was on Cars and Bids
Proof that BMW really needs to fire their design team for creating the fugliest cars of the last 5 years and refuse to wake up.
Big luxury BMWs should look elegant not clunky and awkward, I used to Love BMWs I had a couple a few years ago, I wouldn't look twice at one now, they're revolting!
bmw said they designed it to appeal to the chinese market
@@videos44 DAMN
@@videos44 gotta mine those socal credits.
BMW is a business. If their new designs actually affected sales, then they would’ve changed it. However, BMW just recently outsold Mercedes annually, and have always outsold Audi.
The cost to replace ANYTHING on this car is going to be astronomical 😂 can't even imagine
to gouge the rich fools that buy these cars
The sensors on the side of the car for the automatic doors made me shutter thinking about how much to replace it if it were to be hit. Truly crazy that people purchase/lease these cars even if it's for a short time.
and it's a bmw sooo🤣
i was just thinking this. was wondering what operating system they're using for the devices lmao.
As someone who does major repairs I can confirm even minor hits on this car will cost almost 10 grand.. need a new fender & headlight??? That’s $8950 total & that’s before labor and shop cost
A great review as always!
I am truly glad that the era of those ludicrously small rear windows may be ending, at last! No more marketing induced claustrophobia so that you keep finding yourself renewing a car annually to get rid of that nauseating feeling…
I’m a happy owner of a so called “boxy” 96 Volvo 850 T5, still running daily and wouldn’t change to that jellybean S class which became so frustratingly common in the last decades.
This is just mind blowing. Wow that TV in the back is insane.
wow the grill got bigger to cool that combustion engine in the i7 amazing
It's electric.
@@brianlee9233 that’s the joke it doesn’t need a bigger grill it’s basically a statement symbol
@@mattbuffo9967 it needs a uniform look between the gas and electric models you big idiot, you can pick a real engine or a electric motor on the 7 series. Having 2 different looks between the models would be ridiculous
@brian lee THATS THE JOKE
@@brianlee9233 what? No way, is that what Doug meant when he said 'this is the electric version of the 7 series'?
If you'd enable the uneven road app while driving anywhere in Brazil, it would end up mapping the entire land transportation network 🤣🤣🤣 but seriously though, no matter what great suspension a car can have, you NEVER stop shaking and being jolted about while driving in Brazil. It's amazing. Uneven asphalt is the rule, you are surprised when any paved surface is actually smooth!
Thats what happens when you live in a third world country.
@@pissoff234 no shit, he’s just pointing out something about the roads of Brazil 🇧🇷
Same as in the Dominican Republic.
Bosch made suspensions that you can go through humps and potholes but not shaken. Sadly it didn’t take off. It was too expensive for the market.
Same in German cities a lot
BMW really said “we’re taking Netflix and chill on the go”
I was checking one of these out in person the other day. It is a stunning car.
Doug, I am so happy for your success. It's just amazing to see your growth. It's inspiring and wonderful to see. And your carsandbids etc. just brilliant. congratz.
I’ll probably be able to afford a used 2023 in 2033 😂
To buy, not to maintain. BMW's are very unreliable.
Can you afford to replace they door is the real question lol
Lol probably not
@@scrubplaceholder6216 these are 90s 00s clichés. Update your car info.
Not WHEN it needs a new battery
I can't believe I'm saying this but the front look is kinda catching on for me. It looks decent on the X7, but on the i7 it seemed too big for the cars size, but now the i7 actually looks nice ngl
Doug you could've given this car a 10/10 for features. What car has sensors on the outside of the doors to make sure the door doesn't hit you on the way of opening?
Also, what car integrates the hazard light signal into an ambient lighting?
Again, what car remembers pot holes on your common route?
These are all things that no other car you have viewed has seen. I mean the sensors outside the door alone tells a lot of what their technology has to offer.
i7 has been the best car I’ve ever owned. Gorgeous, heavy as a tank and fast. Feels like your piloting an airplane on sport mode. Flawless car.❤
Suuure
@@natsudragneel188 Very sure, you tick.
I bought the 760i version and I just love it! Still not sold on the all-electric models but the design (especially the interior) is just so plush! I haven't really driven much in sport mode (I don't tend to drive fast) but I love all of the features on this vehicle. I'm not wild about the TV blocking the rear-view mirror or the vent system, but all in all, it's definitely the best vehicle I have ever purchased. It's quiet, comfortable, and sexy as Hell.
@@LordFirestaff Yeah, that's why I didn't get the TV. Self-parking is a huge time saver. And, the i7, never leaks or smokes, super clean, M sport fast!!.

so true
goofball03
Really looking forward to this car depreciating right into my hands like every other 7/5 series I have ever purchased.
Ya and also remember that touch sensors are extremely unreliable good luck fixing them
yeah, 7 series is probably the most depreciating car I can think of.

Fantastic review
My lease is about to run out on my 2020 745E series and w 5 months remaining on the lease, BMW sent a mailing saying they can put me into a new 2023 74i sedan. They would waive lease disposition fee and allow me to get into a new BMW 5 months earlier.
Thinking about what best to do here.
Hated this exterior when it was first revealed but this interior is so astounding, I would live with that front fascia in a heartbeat
It almost looks like a rolls Royce with kidney grills.
@@volvo09 I configured it on the website and the two tone with the lighter top definitely helps
@@brdnmlna it's not too bad, I don't mind it at all.

But it's too much technology tho...
The fold down TV screen was pretty sick. It's not the motion of the TV but the size of it that caught my attention. Far superior than a tablet screen for sure.
That’s basically what my wife said
@@aleiterful haha.
So when it goes down, how does the driver see his rear?
@@thateburoniguy9058 🤷♂️
The problem with that screen is that it's centered. So the passengers will have to crane their necks and have their heads turned for however long they're watching.
Doug, looking at a picture of himself doing the most Doug DeMuro face ever, inside the car he’s reviewing while reviewing the very same car is the sequel to the movie Inception we all need! 😂
I saw one of these today n the car is huge!! The back was so high that I thought it was a new bmw suv or something. Huge cars but they are very nice.
This car makes the E65 look like a gorgeous car.
It is actually.
The E65 is gorgeous.
Nope that one is still worse
the front end is a face only a mother could love
I like how the rear doors are a throwback to the E38 7 series rear doors
12:49: this camera also works as a security camera for the inside of your car. That’s another use of it.
23:05 I really thought the doors were gonna fly open in traffic when he gave that command 😂
How does this not get a 10 for features? I love that lit up crystal looking trim, thats sick.
Imo it’s fair because of the ac and the responsiveness on the vent control
@@ianmccall2062 because most of them unpractical on screen
Features are evolving. You can't give it perfect score. Maybe next 7 series is better than this, would you give same 10 to that also?
I’m convinced 10 for features is reserved for a vehicle that automatically jacks you off
Has he ever given a car a 10 in that category?
In this video we can clearly see Doug going into a quirkfeature havoc and I love it lol
Bmw has been my favorite since i had a 02 745i, they definitely killed the entire game with this one
I hoped you score it 10 for features ... its almost a spaceship
His constant inconsistency with scoring is really annoying at this point.
100% should have been a 10 in features. Doug says he reserves a 10 for new groundbreaking tech and I think this car absolutely has that. The unique doors, the screens on the rear doors for controls, a 31 inch rear screen, and the interior security camera just to name a few. No one else is doing it like this.
@@kylek762 Yeah for real
he didnt score it 10?
Great video as always. I would love to see a review of 760i to see the differences.
Check out Autogefühl's video on the new 7 series is very detailed and informative
I am only 4 minutes into the video. Doug is still describing the doors, and I realized that even minor accidents will completely total this car.
Doug wasn't out of the back seat before my jaw was on the ground. Wow...nice job, BMW.
I’ve seen several other reviews of this car. Yours is the best. As usual. Well done Doug.
how is it the best, is probably the worse car review ever, this guy does not know anything about cars even less about EVs he barely spoke about anything that matters.
@@navsofour2892 Like what for example?
That's the MC12 Doug posted on his Instagram few days ago.
Doug speaking of the quirks and features gets him a org##m for sure 😂😂 … definitely one of the best car reviewers 💪🏼👌🏻
Wasn't sure between and 2022 i7 or phantom.
Already have an older i7 so might try the ryzen 7000 series for my next pc
Nice joke🤯
One thing I am sure of......in my dreams. 😆😆😆😆
Good comedy
I love watching Doug,
does anyone find they can’t stop watching him?
Same
Yes, he's a cutie
I am sensitive to laggy displays, so those door-panels is better if they remove . other than that it looks like a really impressive car.
Strongly agree! Almost all modern cars stuff their interiors full of screens that end up looking like glued 12 year old android tablets.
I wanna say that BMW has really nailed the i7 and 7 series. If you ask me I think this car may have just dethroned the Mercedes S class which used to be the king of the hill for decades. Can't believe I'm saying this but I'd take the 7 series over the S class any day! Although I still have a gripe with automakers not putting frunks in their EVs! I don't know about the focus groups that they have, but for me, the frunk in my model 3 really comes in clutch sometimes!
It did. I went to the dealership to buy the S class but decided to compare it to the new 760i. Once I did that, I drove off in the 7 series. The S class has been my dream car for 20 years. I have always wanted one and have always ended up in a 7 series, oddly enough. But this time I was absolutely determined that I would buy the S class...BMW won me over again.
I’m not a screen hater. With all the new features, you need a multipurpose screen to fit all the options. But climate control, seat adjustment and basic stereo controls should absolutely remain as physical buttons and knobs. I don’t want to have to scroll through 5 menus to turn down the volume because my Pandora went from Smoke On The Water to I Cum Blood.
What would it take to get a 10 in features??
The car has to double as a spaceship.
He's given Rolls Royces and a few other cars 10s for features. Maybe his standard is getting higher because cars in general are packing more features.
Can you still open a glove box when a car is not on? Or do I have to turn the corn just to open the glove box?
You know shit went crazy behind the scenes when Doug had Avril Lavigne - Complicated playing in the background lol 4:35
BMW engineers in the meeting room: "let's pack as many gimmicks that are guaranteed to break as possible!"
they have kids to feed too
You're obviously not the target market for this car, this is a LUXURY car gimmicks are pretty much necessary
@@ikhoonyejelem2967 ah yes because capacitive touch pads and burying the climate controls in a screen is definitely luxurious 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@ikhoonyejelem2967 oooooh LUXURY
This is the kind of car you have to watch Doug review. Other journalists skim over all of the details that make this car interesting.
I never thought I’d say BMW have reinvented the car wow
How many things can break in this car?
BMW Engineers: YES
20 years ago we had the 2003 7 series with the revolutionary bangle butt design. BMW gets frisky from time to time and I think it’s needed to shake up the industry.
Its like a concept car come to real life, tech is totally cool. Love the crystals and triangles, not sure why, but I like them. The fold down screen is inspired and wonderful, and the touch screen rear door controls, fab idea. Totally dig this car
pimp my ride concepts coming to life in the modern age lol
And it will be in a scrapyard within 10 years once it’s out of warranty and everything starts breaking. Plus it’s ugly as shit
the crystals look tachy and this much tech has no place in a car
@@theboogeyman5736 Nah, I bought one and the crystals add so much sophistication to the car. While driving you get these little glisten effects, and it just feels so luxurious. I'm loving it.
@@LordFirestaff are you Chinese?
a poster at the local Lexus dealer stated "if you park your can, and don't look back when you walk away, you're driving the wrong car".
with this front-end I would park the i7 at the darkest spot available and never look back.
as beautiful as this car is, just watching you detail all those “touch bar buttons” just makes me imagine the nightmare of a headache they will cause if one goes out. one thing i love about my 2011 5 series is the button layout and knob that is available. sad to see that manufacturers think the new way is touchscreens and touch bars. think about the mac book with the touch bar lol. after about a year they were basically useless and had a lot of issues not allowing people to use buttons
As somebody who worked intensifely on that car in its engineering process, i am kinda proud, seeing this video. :)
One thing Doug missed about the doors is, that you can choose a setting where the driver door will automatically open if you come near the car and also close it again while leaving your car. It will also close the door for you, when you get in the car and press the brakepedal.
Looks aside, this is an incredible plattform and it was a thrill working on it aswell as driving it for thousands of kilometers already!
What about the new 5 series though?
Can you please have a “M” addon where you can opt in to get the halo lights, these new ones look hideous
@@mrdouche9172 Well, i´ve driven the new 5 series for about 2000km and i can tell you, that it is a great car and an absolute upgrade to the car you can buy right now. Due to compliance and an NDA i signed, i won't and cant tell you any more than that. Be patient though! The wait is almost over! :)
@@SgtAggression What about the X5? Do you know when the X5 with idrive8 will be released? I don't want to order the current one with idrive7.
@@elevul i do know, but i cant tell you, also due to compliance constraints and an NDA i signed. I am sorry! But i can tell you that there are a bunch of spy-shots and videos about X5 prototypes floating around the internet and youtube aswell...sooo...
