      Yo came to California? Omg welcome wish I would have randomly run into you. I was born in Wien but now live in Los Angeles. I can tell you that Wien is so much better than any city in America that's why it's always rated number 1 city to live in year after year (you can Google it). I know Vienna isn't Der Vaterland and I know GER/AUT have some sibling rivalry going sometimes but still much love to Deutschland 🌹

    • @davidt8087
      @davidt8087 ปีที่แล้ว

      BTW at 13:28, where a German says that it won't hurt much it won't be an accident using pure logic because Germans are logical, an American reviewer would say something like "this is such a bad design, it will kill someone, it is so dangerous skmeone will die from this. Bad design bmw. Bmw should have installed ten more sensors and made the door close more slowly and Havr a built in camera with face/body detection for safety". Yea Americans are this childish. All of them.

    Just because the US doesn't mandate amber rear turn signals on vehicles, it doesn't make any sense why they would not just keep the amber for the ones sent to the US. Amber turn signals are much more ideal. I wish it were a rule in the US.

    27:45 For such a large vehicle the space in the rear doesn't seem to be more than in a regular short wheel S class for instance.
    Sure, due to the forward moving passenger seat you can create more space for one person but then nobody can sit in the front.
    I think for a normal executive vehicle in the luxury class a long wheelbase S class or previous 7 series offers still more legroom for 2 passengers in the rear than the new BMW.
    It's sort of a hybrid, more space than in the previous 7 series regular version but less than in the longer version.

    • @alexmercer8042
      @alexmercer8042 ปีที่แล้ว

      50cm longer than my 35 year old 7 series and the trunk capacity is exactly the same while being much narrower xD I mean, come on. Just a lot of fancy tech which will get old really quick without bringing anything substantial as improvement on the table. Where I live M760e Xdrive base price (140 000 euro) is still lower than what base 750 E38 used to go for when new with inflation adjusted. And it shows everywhere you touch.

    Excellent, informative review. As always.
    I’m curious enough to HK yo BMW’s website. Strange, but the interior already looks dated with the long prop up screens, especially compared to the 2024 E Class. But NVH is important to me so I’m going to check this out further.

    The car interiors of the 2020’s make me think of the 1980’s when the first dot-matrix printers came on the consumer market and people overdid it on fonts. I hope designers get back to a more understated design language and prioritise function over form in the next iteration of the cars.

  • @NomadJedi
    @NomadJedi ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Good to see BMW nailed a car both for the electric and the combustion engine customers. I also liked to see that the ambient lighting bar is relatively discreet, at least comparing to Mercedes' Hyperscreen. Interesting that the two brands had diametrically opposed approaches to their luxury segment.

      1 is world's largest truck maker & will sell you a Sprinter, other saved Rolls, Range Rover, Mini & will sell you multi-million $ Boat Tail, waitlisted Bespoke Rolls or motorcycle, along rest of their #1 global premium full model range.

    So can you use theater mode while driving? I haven't watched the whole review but the theater mode part did not discuss it. I haven't seen it in action while driving so far and the question is what happens with the rear view mirror?

    Epic review - excellent. I do like the two tone - especially silver & dark red. Has that old coachbuilt look and makes it seem to me more of a RR alternative. Still, given this is (just) the lwb - not that much room in the back.

    Great review Thomas. I have a 760e on order and your comments about ICE Engines and six cylinder in particular encourages me that I made the right choice. Appreciate your detail. And I have ordered 'Thomas Blue' (i.e. Tanzanite blue) with Amorone Interior.

    Using wool in the interior reminds me to the old luxury cars from the 1980s/1990s. I like that more and more brands are experimanting with alternatives to leather.

    Thanks for the detailed feedback. I own a '21 Arteon Premium Rline and I love the styling, but I'm disappointed by the power train. I actually enjoyed the driving experience of my 2013 CC Lux a little more. It's scary to see the model get discontinued so quickly. Crazy! The daily compliments provide temporary bandaids until I can get my hands on an Audi RS7 or Genesis GV70!!

  • @zarzaf6414
    @zarzaf6414 ปีที่แล้ว

    Best config for me would be tartufo merion with dark blue alcantara headliner and 2 tone black on top and either dark grey or the beige color on bottom m pack with glowing grille Bowers ofc and 760i

    10:17 I still don't understand why they made the frontal overhang so massively long ?
    With now over 98cm the front end is not only 10 cm ! longer than the one of a S class but also 10 cm more than in the previous model and therefore as long as the one of the front wheel driven Audi A8 with its extremely long nose.

    Good thing is in Switzerland we are told we will get the 760e delivered in April 2023, where as in Australia we have had a iX50 on order since November 2021 and still do not have a build date. (Except that we will get it in 2023 sometime).

      Nice review Thomas. I also appreciate your willingness to compare this new BMW 7-series with the S-class like I own and am interested in for my next vehicle. I am very partial to the Oxide Gray i7, and just don't like the BLACK imposed on all buyers of the ICE 7-series. I can get a 2023 740i for just over $100K, but must take the blackout treatment I don't like. To avoid it, I must spend $124K on the electric i7!!! Cannot understand BMW forcing a blackout treatment on all ICE 7 series buyers!

      I7 is a compromised ICE platform based.
      It's therefore very heavy, less efficient, smaller interior compared to Pure EV platform car of this size. It's drag coefficient is much worse than EQS Model S and Nio ET7.
      It's transmission tunnel running at the back has nothing inside, a reminder of compromise.

    Das Auto ist einfach der Wahnsinn. Für mich die größte Weiterentwicklung des 7ers seit dem E65 und endlich mal wieder etwas neues. Gut, die Front braucht etwas Gewöhnung, aber die restliche Karosserie und ganz besonders der Innenraum sehen einfach top aus. Auch toll, dass nun endlich nach Volvo ein weiterer Hersteller auf hochwertige Stoffsitze setzt.
    Auf der Straße sieht der 7er auch noch mal besser aus als auf den Bildern. Hatte ihn jetzt schon in mattschwarz, normal-schwarz und in der Blau-silberbeigen Zweifarblackierung gesehen.

    Thomas, have any manufactures given you a figure on how much is saved from, for instance, migrating all seat functions to a screen just like it is in the back of the 7? And why not just make the window button in the rear a 2-step button to include the shade function? I really like the i7 and while the front isn't perfect it beats the front of the iX and 4 series. Trade in the M550 for an i7?

    I like it. Interior material and build quality seems impeccable and well above the A8 and S Class. I like the interior design. It's looks luxurious and special. The new S Class doesn't look very special or luxurious. The previous gen W222 interior was a hit and looked amazing even today it still does. Mercedes pioneered the side by side screens and now everyone has copied it even BMW. But now Mercedes has moved away from it and their interiors look worse now. They should've just refined it like everyone else has and make the bezels thinner and screens larger. Curve it maybe and make it freestanding.

    • @TheWarpYoshimitsu

      Impeccable interior materials except the center console and arm rests on doors being cover in gloss black plastic trash. I agree that this beats the EQS easily. Seems Mercedes just wanted to push product. Doesn't stand up to the heritage of the S class.

    One question though: I had the opportunity to drive the i7 and was simply amazed by how calmly it drove over bumps - you hardly feel them at all. So, I was wondering whether there is a noticeable difference with the petrol version since it doesn't have all that mass in the bottom. Also: did both vehicles you drove have the executive drive pro option? Since this option should make the drive even better! (Sorry if you said it in video and I missed it.)
    Thanks in advance! :)

Maybe you meant that as well, but imo a cars comfort-level doesn't fully correspond to the way it goes over bumps, if you know what I mean :)

The lower lights are kind of hidden, blacked out, only there because they are needed, in a way just like pop up headlights. Also the stitching on the sensatec seats, both the black and light one, is not straight at all... are these prototype cars?
