Man, your videos are getting way way way better than other youtubers i've watched bro! This is why i only watch your reviews 'cause they are THAT good! Keep the videos coming Sofyan!👍👍👍👍
Nelson Lai lol what you mean hes the most opinionated reviewer online, theres so much better reviewers especially ones that actually understands mechanics unlike this guy. Hes not bad tho, as a general review hes good. But i wont say hes the best by a long shot 😄
Wow, this 7 series is super base. No vented seats, no multi contour (thigh extender and massage), the bad Dakota leather, and more. I’ve never seen one this base before. I looked at a 740e in the dealer with the quilted leather and all the options and the interior was gorgeous.
We love your thoroughness and enthusiasm in your reviews. Both of your reviews have helped us by two cars that you test drove. 2017 Subaru Impreza limited and 2019 Acura RDX A-Spec!
bought one in nov of 2018. I've never liked a german ' QUALITY ' or should i say lack of it . lol . So far, this thing gave me no problem at all . 34k of driving . Zero problems Nothing at all ! . I was very skeptical about buying it , now i like it . This 4-cylinder is fast, very fast ... with huge amount of torque ! When you charge it nightly, your gas mileage is incredible . It gives you about 360- 390 miles in City driving combined . This is a real mileage ! if fully charge, electric drive gives you around 15 miles +/- 5 . Gas tank about 11 gal . total . Yes , 11 gallons .. The most important is that BMW finally learn that 7 series must be reliable ! No room for weekly visit to dealership fixing what should be working to begin with .... So, when it comes to quality -reliability S- class is faaaaar behind this time . In my opinion, it is the First really reliable 7 series ever !! It is a pretty car too, better looking and better made than my 2017 S-class .and much more better than MB on gas .
Sofyan I love your videos and you have an outstanding personality which makes your reviews even better. Keep up the good work and I guarantee that more and more people will find your channel and reviews very helpful.
I think the issue with the interior is its black. Black interiors tend to hide all the beauty in cars like these (lighter colors tend to do better in cars like these but black interiors have their advantages) but thats just my opinion. Anyway the 7 series is good but nowhere as near as good as the S class , Ls , and upcoming A8. Great review as always.
I have to say, the Lexus LS looks way better. The interior on this BMW looks bland compared to the interior of the LS which has the “L” design language throughout the interior and exterior.
Mercedes is killing BMW in the design department. Not a BMW hater as I've owned both brands but this 740e is just bland all over the exterior. Great review.
Mercedes did have a competitor it was brought out in 2015 as a S550e Plug-in with the 3.0 v6 biturbo combined output 436hp 476lb-ft with 14-20 miles of electric range,16.6 gallon fuel tank 26mpg and 58 mpge.
Nice review 😉. Just a comment IMHO ... those of us who can afford this car are more interested in comfort than racing around like a maniac. I did that in my 20’s 😃. Now I’m 45 ... maniac not so much anymore. 🙄😂
I like when the videos cars aren’t the top of the line trim because most people don’t get the highest trim they get a couple of features and call it a day
You know, I like that they went with buttons on the HVAC controls. No buttons for the HVAC controls must be a bannable offence. I'm looking at you, Volvo, and Audi.
I still like the Lexus LS and Mercedes S-class more. Audi's new A8 is better but the 7-series is still better than Jaguar XJ, Genesis G90, Cadillac CT6. I'm also biased towards the Lincoln :)
Abid Niaz The Lincoln Continental offers soo much for the price tho and the Jaguar XJ is a bargain steal especially when you get the performance packed XJL R supercharged 🔥🔥🔥
Actually, Caddilac does sell a CT6 PHEV option that works very similar to the volt. It gives around 30 miles of EV range. But, this car is more popular in china and manufactured there, not in the USA. So, they are quite hard to find. But, your statement that the other competitors have not caught up is not accurate. If you want to drive one, please do so before the tariffs kick in, because that will hurt these low volume imports.
I hate that people use the “it’s not supposed to be reliable” mentality. That’s a stupid excuse to forgive a company for designing cars that won’t last. Cars should be reliable. Period. Nobody should be designing 2 ton machines that are going to be trash in 5-10 years.
EXPECT THABEST Luxury cars are pretty reliable nowadays. I see the same comments over and over again it’s annoying.. don’t yuck somebody’s yum cuz you’re a boring reliability person
Personally, Audi is killing it in the technology department! Lexus and Audi are turning heads right now. Mercedes is exciting today and Bmw is behind. Really like the 4 series Gran Coupe, but nowadays things are behind. You can no longer rely on your badge when you have versatile KIA and Hyundai producing everything from family suvs to Luxury sport sedans!! What a time to be alive!😅
I'd take a G90 or a LS over this any day. BMWs competition from it's home are also killing them. Mercedes is killing it with quality, pricing and design lately. I'm not a massive Audi fan but the new a8 is stunning and intresting. BMW is riding on name right now, these boring boxes don't deserve the BMW name or heritage.
BMW is so mundane. Mostly all BMW sedans look the same. At least Mercedes you can tell which one is which. Also interior of the Mercedes s-class is 10x better than the 7 series.
Saad Qureshi If you're taking about sedan's? They all look the same. Go look at the C class, E, class and S class and put them all side by side. They all have the same exact exterior.
I'm hearing the word "nice " over and over again. I'd say, roughly 150 times. That's what this bmw is, isn't it? Nice. Not wow. Not amazing. Not flashy. Nice
I like it the way it is, it's understated, sport package would ruin it IMO. People will know you made it, without having to shout it. That being said unless my lottery ticket comes in it's all academic, me considering a $100K car! Love your reviews.
All that Mercedes tech Is going to be costly to repair & maintain long term guaranteed! It'll cost another fortune to maintain unfortunately! Initial quality is always the selling point but long-term it becomes irritating. Too many glitches. Now Genesis are really stepping up their game! Not S Class quite yet but definitely turning some heads! Cadillac ct6 with the new twin turbo v8! Now I'm excited by performance in caddies automobiles! I love the suttle changes to the ct6 but still not luxuriously appointed enough which would raise the price, but they could tweak it a bit to not affect the price that much! It should still be very competitive though!
Research has shown that Mercedes from 2010 up are more reliable than BMW & Audi... Also lower than industry standard.. Those unreliable days are over with, with that said electronics do eventually break so it's hit or miss...
One Kxng But when your paying 6 figures for a vehicle with as much prestige as a Mercedes Benz you don't expect to have little nuisance issues with electrical components or battery drains, ecm unit malfunctioning, super charger issues window switch glitches, & other little mishaps which takes away from the owners satisfaction & overall experience with their 6 figure vehicle not to mention depreciation! I think if I'm paying that kind of money this car hard better be backed by an exceptional warranty or just plain be reliable & trouble free mostly! Yes it looks exceptionally beautiful & very luxurious but how much will all that cost you in the end my friend? Dollars not sense!!
Really nice review Sofyan, as always! I don't like this BMW (although it is faster than I expected!) However I do love how you help me have a more open mind about some cars. 740e is not all bad... but as you say, I'd want the V8 model !
@@ancient.journey Here's the thing... i may not care about 500 hp, and even less so about 2L/100 km... People may want the V8 for other reasons... the sound, the bragging rights associated with being higher up the hierarchy 🤷🏽♂️
Spectacular review, as always, Sofyan! Personally, I totally agree with you. I find the styling of the flagship sedan to definitely be lacking that "gravitas" that other competitors seem to boast (from both the interior and exterior). The styling is somewhat bland, but like all modern day BMWs, it has that certain je ne sais quoi that attracts looks simply because of its conservative elegance. Nevertheless, keep up the great work, Redline Reviews! I can't wait to see what vehicle review you have scheduled next.
If BMW is wanting to do a hybrid system on this car… They need to have it be with a turbo 6 and a beefier hybrid system. The sound of that little 4 banger in a 7 series just isn’t right for status a 7 series carries.
This car looks like an employer who has been working for too long and needs a vacation in order to become productive and creative again
Man, your videos are getting way way way better than other youtubers i've watched bro! This is why i only watch your reviews 'cause they are THAT good! Keep the videos coming Sofyan!👍👍👍👍

He's been cutting corners lately.
TURBO Pepper Sure, different people have different opinions and thoughts.
Anyway, thanksbfor letting me know😉
Charles Paredes hahaha, maybe his Porsche's going alot faster through corners😂
You have matured so much. I just watched some of your old videos from 2012 like your sisters Civic. What an improvement
Wow, this 7 series is super base. No vented seats, no multi contour (thigh extender and massage), the bad Dakota leather, and more. I’ve never seen one this base before. I looked at a 740e in the dealer with the quilted leather and all the options and the interior was gorgeous.
Not a fan of the car, but always a fan of your reviews Sofyan. The best on TH-cam by a mile!
We love your thoroughness and enthusiasm in your reviews. Both of your reviews have helped us by two cars that you test drove. 2017 Subaru Impreza limited and 2019 Acura RDX A-Spec!

S- class is faaaaar behind this time . In my opinion, it is the First really reliable 7 series ever !!
It is a pretty car too, better looking and better made than my 2017 S-class .and much more better than MB on gas .
I actually like the understated look of this 7 a lot. I think the grey is really pretty honestly. I’d get the interior in tan though.
I love BMW. In my OPINION, I think that it's a brilliant car.
But does it have a working turn signal functionality??
Sofyan I love your videos and you have an outstanding personality which makes your reviews even better. Keep up the good work and I guarantee that more and more people will find your channel and reviews very helpful.
The 7 series with the M sport and the LEDs looks like an entirely different monster. Especially in white. The non m-sport is incomparable.
I think the issue with the interior is its black. Black interiors tend to hide all the beauty in cars like these (lighter colors tend to do better in cars like these but black interiors have their advantages) but thats just my opinion. Anyway the 7 series is good but nowhere as near as good as the S class , Ls , and upcoming A8. Great review as always.
Agreed. I don't like cars in black, interior or exterior. Too bland.
I'm loving these new gen executive cars. They're like spaceships. So cool
I have to say, the Lexus LS looks way better. The interior on this BMW looks bland compared to the interior of the LS which has the “L” design language throughout the interior and exterior.
The Lexus is (are) horrible... No design at all
Mercedes is killing BMW in the design department. Not a BMW hater as I've owned both brands but this 740e is just bland all over the exterior. Great review.
Lexus is tops right now in style.
NO_EYES_ON_ME hell no the Benz is still the best.
The bmw 8 grand coupe is gorgeous
Avoid the aluminum trim, summer glare is a pain
This specific model is way too ugly
2006 wants their bimmer back!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love that house!
Mercedes did have a competitor it was brought out in 2015 as a S550e Plug-in with the 3.0 v6 biturbo combined output 436hp 476lb-ft with 14-20 miles of electric range,16.6 gallon fuel tank 26mpg and 58 mpge.
Best reviews on TH-cam. You staying out if trouble with your new Porsche?😁
Paul Stan what did he get
718 Cayman GT
Noah Damoose 718 Cayman GT
Paul Stan why should it have problems already?
Glad to see you filming in my home state of Alabama! Greetings from a former Mobile, Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa resident.
Most reliable 7 series engine with an inline 4.
14:54 I'd never live in a neighborhood called "Plantation South". So happy to have moved out of AL.
Love the video, but I disagree about the bangle era, they actually look modern to this day. The lci version especially.
Nice review 😉. Just a comment IMHO ... those of us who can afford this car are more interested in comfort than racing around like a maniac. I did that in my 20’s 😃. Now I’m 45 ... maniac not so much anymore. 🙄😂
Great review as always. Finally a BMW! Lol at the "hockey stick" reference now I cannot unsee that anymore 😂
I didn't know you came to Alabama! Greetings from Huntsville!
I'm from Huntsville too!
im from huntsville alabama too !!
BMW = Boring Motor Work
Riceman Plus, very overrated.
Keep driving your ricer.
I might be biased but the video turned out great! Best “peasant” model I’ve been involved with 😂
Love this car. Hybrid is the best investment. In 10 years maybe I will be affording a used one.
I like when the videos cars aren’t the top of the line trim because most people don’t get the highest trim they get a couple of features and call it a day
The coolest must have is that 3d surround view camera
Please review the 2018 ford f-150 raptor with full options thanks
Trunk open failure at 3:23 :)
Dang. We were hoping you wouldn't notice! lol
Eagle eyes homie
If you told me this is a 2010 model, I wouldn't argue with you.
How much is this beast ?? My dreaam car Can you tell how much is this 2017 model 7 series pls
the 7 series is so pretty so much better then some of the offence designing of other "luxury" brands ie lexus grill
Is it a xdrive or a fwd?
Saying this is a plain looking car is an understatement. Lexus has all the cars beat in styling.
Awesome👍🏻👍🏻2018 BMW 740e XDrive
My complaint with the 360 camera is the that quality takes a huge nose dive compared to the standard back up camera.
You know, I like that they went with buttons on the HVAC controls. No buttons for the HVAC controls must be a bannable offence. I'm looking at you, Volvo, and Audi.
Can you do the 2019 Honda Pilot ex
12 miles of electric range, 27 mpg average and only 12 gallon fuel tank? No thanks, I'll pass.
BMW has the best night interior lightning. That's about the only thing I like about them for the price vs everyone else in the market.
I still like the Lexus LS and Mercedes S-class more. Audi's new A8 is better but the 7-series is still better than Jaguar XJ, Genesis G90, Cadillac CT6. I'm also biased towards the Lincoln :)
Abid Niaz The Lincoln Continental offers soo much for the price tho and the Jaguar XJ is a bargain steal especially when you get the performance packed XJL R supercharged 🔥🔥🔥
I like the review great video!!

Please do the review of mercedez s560 cabriolet
This model is easily changed to add a chin spoiler, a few M760Li bits, gets 40.5mpg - is like to see a MB or Audi get that
Lol 🗣 Buy at your own Risk.......... the maintenance will burn a hole in your pockets!!
EXPECT THABEST I doubt any buyer in this segment is buying this car long term.
EXPECT THABEST we bought a 2014 x5 fully loaded for only 26k with 24k miles on it. The s-class looks way better tho than the 7 series.
BMW "The Ultimate Repair Machine".

When are you reviewing the new S Class?
Should have done the M760 version or at least a 750i those look waaaaayyyyyy better
smoker's package in a plug in hybrid, never thought I would see that.
Personally, Audi is killing it in the technology department! Lexus and Audi are turning heads right now. Mercedes is exciting today and Bmw is behind. Really like the 4 series Gran Coupe, but nowadays things are behind. You can no longer rely on your badge when you have versatile KIA and Hyundai producing everything from family suvs to Luxury sport sedans!! What a time to be alive!😅
S class still king but 2nd place goes to this.
Excellent review.......
why does everyone fake hate on the bmw bangle design era, that area of bmw was a good one.
The old Chris bangle style bmw looked so much better to me.
BOOOOOOOOORRINNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG CAR

Nope.... 10 minutes assuming that Morgan road in Helena
BMW is so mundane. Mostly all BMW sedans look the same. At least Mercedes you can tell which one is which. Also interior of the Mercedes s-class is 10x better than the 7 series.
Saad Qureshi The S class looks exactly the same as the C class exterior wise it's just bigger.
Ness Rosenbrad the e-class, cla, a-class, and s-class look different tho compared to BMW's line up.
Saad Qureshi If you're taking about sedan's? They all look the same. Go look at the C class, E, class and S class and put them all side by side. They all have the same exact exterior.
Bro are you serious lmao Mercs are all cookie cutter copies throughout their lineup. BMW's are way more distinguishable.
Lol, Mercedes c,e,s class look too similar. Same with 3,5,7 series of BMW. But Audi A6 is distinctive from the A4 and A8
My 2017 330i had wireless Apple CarPlay
Good Review👍👍🙃🙃
You gotta do a review of the audi a5 sportback my man
This car has no soul lol
I'm hearing the word "nice " over and over again. I'd say, roughly 150 times. That's what this bmw is, isn't it? Nice. Not wow. Not amazing. Not flashy.
Nice
I am astonished it doesnt have cooled seats, something a sonata and fusion now offer as options should be standard on a car 3x the price.
BUT DO THE DOORS SOUND SOLID???
nice car but i'm not a fan of the headlights.
I like it the way it is, it's understated, sport package would ruin it IMO. People will know you made it, without having to shout it. That being said unless my lottery ticket comes in it's all academic, me considering a $100K car! Love your reviews.
I love this channel. That car sounds terrible though. Sounds like the engineering department needs to bring it back to the drawing board.
I don't know what's going on with BMW. The design is antique. I love the 540 though.
Sir which area iz this where u review the cars...answer plzz??
khan fanney this video was filmed Helena/Pelham Alabama. Not his normal area.

Kind of looks outdated compared to other competitors. Lexus all day over this.

Justmc 0312 comments about the grill are becoming cliche. Bmw is selling the same design over and over
subaru b9 tribeca Thank you! That is exactly why I ignore comments regarding the Lexus grill design!
Mopar Maniac I agree! Lexus is doing really great this year!
Really nice review Sofyan, as always! I don't like this BMW (although it is faster than I expected!) However I do love how you help me have a more open mind about some cars.
740e is not all bad... but as you say, I'd want the V8 model !
You can tune this car to 500hp and 850nm and still drive daily commuting 2l/100km🙋♂️

Yup! This was filmed just outside of Birmingham, AL.

I have no problem with the traditional bmw grill, it's the back and side profile that needs updating.
If BMW is wanting to do a hybrid system on this car… They need to have it be with a turbo 6 and a beefier hybrid system. The sound of that little 4 banger in a 7 series just isn’t right for status a 7 series carries.

Sweet
Side profile looks a bit like the Genesis G90....or vise versa..

What you didn't close the door and tell us if it sounds solid....booooooo. Great review lol
