I definitely agree with you! The i7 x drive 60 was not my favorite, but this M70 is quite a lot better! But of course the 740d is where my money would go :)
The M70 is my dream car for three reasons. - some of the best steering in a BMW - shadow line grill WITH iconic Glow - and obviously the most important, auto opening driver door when approaching (super important 😂)

We’re in the early days equivalent to a Model T Ford, and already better in most ways to ice cars, no brainer in the city and you can charge overnight.
I could see getting used to having your doors open or close automatically. I initially thought some of the features in my newer car were a bit unnecessary but I’ve come to love a few, the brake hold feature is so much nicer than I thought it would be. I thought it’s not a big deal to hold the brake pedal at a stop light and I don’t really need this but it is so nice and really comes in handy in long periods of stop and go traffic. Now when I drive another vehicle that doesn’t have it I realize how much I actually love the feature.
❤ Just occurred to me...I can lock myself in this palacio at the garage, cooler full blast, watching movies after movies while charging, and nobody will find me ❤ ingenious! 🎉😂
I can attest to what you said about not feeling the weight... What struck me the most while driving it a couple of times, besides the luxurious features, was how feather light it felt around corners.
This 7 series is the highest selling BMW 7 series in History. Can't find any data suggesting they're struggling to sell it. It's selling strongly in the USA as well. The current odd designs are breaking sales records for BMW. I think they understand what their core customers really like, more than the internet.
BMW doesn't care about people on the internet since most don't have money for a new 7 series anyway 😂 This car is selling like hotcakes in their target markets like Asia where they like the bold and ostentatious design.

some facts for you... (Including BEV versions) Eu sales: 7 series: 3.697 S class: 10.277 USA sales: 7 series: 7.265 S class: 13.637 China sales: 7 series: 8.089 S Class: 27.733 The gap between s class and 7 series gets bigger and bigger. China is one of the most Important market and New 7 series fails miserable. In Europe 7 series is pretty much irrelevant. No v8, no v12 just inline 6 diesel and petrol = huge fail for luxury car. There are some interesting articles about new 7 series- bimmerpost for example. Only XM sales are worse. There hundreds on german used car market for very little money.
@jojajo2707 well once the LCi comes the sales would climb up massively,if you can remember the E65 generation 7 series, that one is the best selling 7 series for a reason despite the controversial design, and also the reason why S class sales remain high is the usual hotel limos,taxis are all using it to boost up the sales
I have driven that i7 m70 this weekend… it was never my taste of design when looking at pictures and videos.. but in RL that thing looks huuuge.. like crazy big! And it looks better as on pictures to be honest. That car moves like crazy.. i had it down to 20% before giving it back to BMW and it still went crazy when accelerating!! It for sure had a luxury feeling, not hearing anything while driving on the autobahn.. it was very quiet 😃. After going back to my toyota hybrid, I thought it was broken because it wasnt moving any near that i7.. also my e39 was looking like a small car next to it😂
Well I think it looks great. Very imposing and aggressive. Seen a few waft around in the US and they look amazing. Certainly better than the soap bar Mercs
Not when it comes to sales, usually poor netizens like Mercedes because their simple looks=reliable and also w206 4 cylinder hybrid C63 isn’t any better
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, It’s a luxury car, but as a sports car, which is not, it would maybe be good to sleep in since it’s big, but to me it really is a waste of money!
Interior looks worse than the exterior IMO. I can see this gen of bmw losing 98% of their value after the warranty expires. Bet we can all afford this after max 10 years.
EV prices are tanking right now.They can't give these German EV's away people are buying Tesla or BYD Hyundai and Kia because the batteries and charging is better
So limited performance and some of the luxuries turned off in order to get a reasonable range. Well glad to see that your money is not wasted on this car.🙄🙄
This is a great looking car. Well done BMW! There is something in that reminds me the line of the 2000 CS from the 1960's. It is big a luxurious behemoth, like a RR. TV screen is unique and a trendsetter. Max doesn't like the front of the car. Ok, it is a question of taste, but many people like me like it. Go on Max, keep on with the good work!
Having less than 500km effective range makes this car completely unusable for what it would be great at. This thing with a 550hp v8 or a proper v12 would be a beast.
Noting range at speed how does Germany than intend to go electric with its autobahns? I presume most catch the fast trains between cities or they don't travel too far out like the Americans, Canadians and Australians do.
The i7 is a completely different class to the Taycan. The Taycan is a drivers car with normal backseats. The i7 is a luxury chauffeur car that some people just chose to drive themselves.
Looks like a Skoda Superb on steroids... and it is hard to appreciate the paint and exterior body creases when the car is soooo dirty... Not criticizing: it is just a fact.
Anyone else get bored watching these electric car reviews? They’re so soulless and boring in every way. I absolutely love cars, and have three ice bmws. I never finish the videos. Love to autotopnl brilliant content.
I dont like what BMW is doing right now. This car looks from outside like it is made out of many cheap materials like plastic. The look of the head and break lights is terrible, I would never recognize this as a BMW without the 'kidney grill'. It looks more like a car from asia then from germany or even europe. The interior is also not pretty. To much fancy stuff, especieally for the driver. The infotainment is not user friendly, to much stuff going on and way to small to propper use it with touch controll. In my opinion the range seems ok for this type of vehicle. Its not a car for a private person, more for politicians or high rank people to be driven around in a city or maybe from the airport to a destination not far away. Its my opinion, maybe many people like it that way or a part of it, but I am not a friend of it. :/
BMW continues to make BMW uglier than previous models after the 5 series f10. The f10 is the companys last stunning looking car, a little bit the f90 and g30. It is unpleasant to watch how the cars appearance deteriorates, being BMW fan. Thanks for the great videos.
well designs may not catter to netizens taste but their quality is way off the charts as well as reliability, just behind Porsche, meanwhile Mercedes focuses too much on pleasing Netizens with their design but ending up their interior quality and reliability is garbage, what's more stupid is shoving a 4 cylinder hybrid under the C63 bonnet, eventually the G wagon and S class would get a 4 cylinder too
@ralzvy Only if the charging infastructure allows it at absolutely full power. And there's no-one else around using it. And even then, it won't charge in "like 20 minutes". And none of them do anything LIKE 600 km in the real world. But yeah, apart from all those things...
Anything sub 777 hp is a disappointment .. They should have worked harder for that magical number considering their strongest, top of the line 7 series
No way. If I was offered a well cared E39 M5 I would have that instead. Pathetic thing apparantly for people who does not appreciate driving. Silly Drive by Monty Python...
In my opinion it is a junk which wouldn`t have a big demand on market instead of classic engines or hybrid eDrive. Really expensive and useless power which works with special limits and conditions only. //M is "//Marketing" nowadays sadly

you spend six figures for a car and you have to turn off the features to have some range and be limited to 50% power. State of the art.
