[@bigfatbub]

When you say "The face only a mother could love" this is it.. this is that face.

[@fredyph30]

Well said 👏

[@mustanggt5713]

I will have to apply for loans for each EMI to pay for this car 😂

[@taranshupattnaiktp3335]

Is this a luxury car or just tech on wheels. I mean literally this 7 series has blown me away with this rad styling on the outside and the inside, OMG it's fabulous. Never saw this type of luxurious sedan with a theatre screen of 31 inch😲

[@SandeepSharmaKS]

How happy he is while reviewing the ultimate BMW. The smile on his face is top notch from start to end.

[@abhinavpa7688]

If you have enough money to buy a 7 series, buy the V8

[@Kanupriya_Singh]

Sadly India doesn’t get the v8.

[@rocky7891]

Buy a S class Instead. Bmw was at the pinnacle in the last generation. It has lost it now.

[@thunderstrom7157]

Well ...rich people buy both 😊

[@nikhilpurohit72]

True...but to be honest my x5 40i also has a good punch and brings smile every time I drive it.. Total value for money and superb drive quality...I have fitted msport exhaust too 😉

[@akashhamare8293]

Excellent shots at the intro !
Good job camera guys and editors 💯

[@NikhilOnCars]

Thanks from the entire team!

[@darshanganga]

Which is the song that is being played in the background at the beginning?

[@mbsiddiqui]

12:38 It seems it is ready for take off on the sky.

[@manunair700]

Which song is this that was running in the background at 1:24 min in the video

[@ClementJosephCJ]

For all those who thought about Doug when he said ‘Quirks and Features’ 🙌🏼

[@say_wut]

This

[@akksakku5733]

Nikhil's English fluency and vocabulary is superb 👍

[@NikhilOnCars]

Hehe thanks!

[@youtubeking2686]

No compulsory rear seatbelts for boss seat?

[@raghava-xt5jd]

You always rocking bro with your videos

[@NikhilOnCars]

Thanks!

[@rjvignesh2006]

Saw this car today zooming past me. Just 2 seconds of view. Instant love is the word!

[@darthveda18]

@7:54 look at that grin, one end to the other.

[@shrirangtambe]

Was range mentioned in the video?

[@sidbp]

Whichever way you look at it, the front end sucks.. Big time!
Tech overload on the inside does try to compensate for the horror show outside..

[@adarshshastri8337]

Horror show on inside will start when every tech will be broken within 5 years

[@kaushalamara8640]

OP car especially the TV inside the car🤯

[@AnilKumarMalladishimoga]

Good Information on Automobile

[@BezawadaAbbayi_]

3:38 my sleeping posture on sunday mornings😅😅😅😅😅

[@solicitor7793]

Waiting for comparison review alongside mercedes eqs 580 🔥

[@jaik9321]

good review...price?

[@Bmwsoham]

What is best i7 or X7?

[@shivvashishthabhargava4600]

The review a lot of us had been waiting for.
The i7 may divide opinion when it comes to its looks. Keeping that aside. The i7 and the new 7 have sent the competition into an abyss with its rear set entertainment and the whole package overall. Love it or hate it. You just can't ignore it. The i7 is a gamechanger. Quite the benchmark when we look at the interior. 💙🤍

[@raghukarnam5794]

Defenetily buying this car 😮😊

[@aneeshraodharmapuri7330]

Cars are becoming gadgets which happen to drive too

[@oumaniac]

Beautiful beast!

[@kamaleshp5633]

How many days it took to modify broo ??!

[@shrirangtambe]

USP of luxury EVs is fastest and highest depreciation and lowest resale value even poorer than their ice variants.

[@bikerspace8977]

What a review 🙌🔥

[@MrNikrulesu]

To be honest, watching you sit in that neck forward posture on the rear seat gave me neck pain 😅😅 does not look very comfortable. I may be wrong though.

[@nikhilpurohit72]

Hybrids are more preferable to me than full electric...

[@jahidali404]

Good looking good future I have driving

[@sivaschumi5]

Pls Review BMW X1

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

very good is new bmw i7.

[@HaidaraliBatti]

Amazing car

[@lifehomeware]

Excellent work nikhil 🎉🎉

[@NikhilOnCars]

Thanks!

[@mahendra_akshaj]

Nikhil bhai , J BAAAAAAAT

[@arun4362]

Well the Ultimate luxury vehicle's just galvanised electrified & fast plus of coz luxurious maxxed

[@HaidaraliBatti]

BMW i7 and wonderful car

[@ramprasanth3343]

Was Confused between this and the EQS thanks for the explanation.

[@chinmayteli110]

8:29 how did BMW manage to ignore this

[@rutvikkihla3670]

Please Review in ix7

[@prakhar.29december]

Too many screens in today’s vehicles. It may look appealing today but it will rapidly go out of fashion and become obsolete when display & entertainment tech evolves. We are heading towards an era, where cars of today will not be a masterpiece to be cherished as a relic of the past, in coming years. There is a reason why we Car enthusiasts love W140 more than W220 and e38 more than e65. Cars (no matter how luxurious & expensive) are machines, built to drive & be driven in.. they are not some hotel suite. (Personal opinion)

[@yogeshp8542]

Rolls Royce are timeless

[@tanmaylonbale2520]

i7 is the 1st EV I have knows to have more highway range than the city range, and that too by a big margin of 93 Km. I wanna ask why is this soo.

[@tpofindia]

Range ?

[@adarshasokansindhya]

❤❤

[@doctor.arjun.drives]

Facelift previous gen looked better. Maybe this design will grow on us 😅

[@hitenshah821]

Someone has watched a Doug DeMuro video

[@NikhilOnCars]

Hehe 😅

[@V.E.D.A.N.G]

Couldn't make the front design more worse good job

[@binoyadhikary9376]

You know Autocar this is a car what are design yaar

[@vamsikrishna4917]

song name pls

[@SHAHNAWAZKHAN-on2vu]

Still better looks than the EQS

[@idrisahmed2659]

agreed somehow in this colour doesnt look obnoxious

[@_Anurag_Thakur_]

Yes eqs is 🥚 egg like 😂

[@shreenathan2144]

❤❤❤

[@mrhowmuch]

I’m just one of those people who actually think the 7 Series looks good…

[@asitadkar4976]

I like how it manages to look horrendous from every angle

[@RANGER0017]

My favourite bmw i7 with that joker smile 🤡

[@VarunSrinivas]

The side silhouette of this car looks like that of a Rolls Royce.... Am i right?

[@arun4362]

Midget R R

[@capricornus993]

They are owned by the BMW group though..

[@user-xk4wp6jq6y]

Side 10/10,
Rear 10/10,
Front -10/10

[@_Anurag_Thakur_]

😂😂🤣
Interior 100/10

[@arishi2k6]

DB Cooper!!

[@rounaqgupte4655]

Am I the only one who like it?

[@_Anurag_Thakur_]

Me too

[@aashellboy]

Looks like a Chinese bmw

[@TechnoTweet]

I bet I can open and close door faster with my hands

[@aliaseldho2918]

Me 😂 thinking of batteey replacement costs

[@alecjohn979]

One day the front will have a huge bbq grill and the brand will be renamed from BMW to BBQ

[@ankitraj2473]

i can never trust my driver so i cannot be so relax and watch movies and chil in the car but its looks sexy

[@yashviragnihotri9561]

Just buy the m340 and keep your lakhs to yourself 👀

[@drbaala6378]

Low lying stance ....it will easily scrape and struggle in even a small speed breaker in our country ...he drove it in a properly sloped one ...we know how the speedbreakers are in most of the places !

[@VinodKuwar]

Review X1

[@Apster]

Hey guys I spent 50 Lakhs & got a 130 BHP Engine 😂

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

something's seriously wrong with BMW because this isn't a BMW . . . the Chinese auto industry has rattled legacy automobile manufacturers worldwide . . . OEM's like Audi & GM rushing to make EV variants of it's existing model line asap, in the process legendary car makers like BMW & TOYOTA has ended up making mistakes & compromising their very identity . . . just look at the BMW i7 for crying out loud . . . China, a automobile industry that once fraudulently copied western vehicle design is now making the world's automobile industry dance on it's toes . . . just don't know how to react . . .

[@nipunsharma5351]

I have to find a way to become your friend 😀🙈

[@finditonline5403]

Who thinks new verna front is copied from here...

[@guruprasadankush3635]

Cars in the past was about horsepower tyre burnout regardless of the segment know it's lazy driving

[@AbGupta]

BMW interiors can never match Mercedes.

[@MsArjun1111]

This is why we shouldn't trust German design.
What were they high on?

[@himanshudhawan6512]

Wow more electronics to go wrong 😂

[@mahendra_akshaj]

Real world avg will be 50% only in real world

[@prasanthbliz]

new age is sooo complex :P keep it simple silly!

[@ameyakabra449]

And I thought M3, M4 and iX looked ugly. Oh lord.

[@nmnoushad]

EQS is better

[@VikashSharma-cd2xu]

🤡

[@roguenation8407]

Sorry Mercedes audi Lexus it’s time you need to see bmw and learn more on technology design etc

[@nimishwaikar]

Where is legender vs 700?😫😫

[@natkhatgungun]

It looks so weird

[@7b56swarajyamalwar7]

I am a big bmw fan but s-class is far better than this

[@anandp.r2067]

This EV is for CEOs, GMs and Aristocrats

[@sourabhpanse]

Why bmw is copying Rolls-Royce

[@faizanansari4889]

Because they own rolls royce company

[@capricornus993]

It’s not copying if you own them..

[@fredyph30]

The front end looks horrible.. let's say it.. let's say it out loud.. it's ugly.. The rest is amazing!!

[@natkhatgungun]

Yo guys wait for the Mercedes EQS to come this silly i7 is nothing in front of it interms of power range reliability luxury security road presence reputation....
#EQSbetterthani7
