  • Kyle is in Portugal where he has quickly stolen the top trim BMW 7-Series, the i7 M70. This is a spicier version of the standard car with an upgraded motor in the rear, recalibrated suspension, and updated driveline controls to improve performance with hopefully not giving up much on comfort. How does it all work? Watch the video for the full tour and first drive

    @OutofSpecreviews, Can’t wait for your review on i5 M60. I am looking to either buy the new i5 or newly price dropped model S Plaid. Been a tesla owner for a while but I really miss the German quality every time i sit in one. Also, with Plaid’s rear inner tire wear I am bit confused to pay a bit more and go for the bimmer or take the bullet and put up with Tesla’s usual shortcomings with Plaid? Appreciate if you clarify this in your upcoming i5 video.

    Now, BMW just needs to start getting digital mirror cameras. Especially for that theater screen and rear shade. The driver can't see a thing. Also, with that "look at the side mirror and the car changes lanes automatically" thing is dumb. Since you can't see with the center mirror, you'll constantly be looking at the side mirrors.

    Kyle, is it possible they left the transmission and drive shaft tunnel wasting considerable space. At the rear bumper, are we looking at holes for exhaust pipes. If yes, that’s horrible for $170K. I assume it has rear wheel steering. This EV has more luxury than my EQS 580. Handling is probably better in the M7, but I like interior & exterior of MB better.

    For those of us who don't need the M70/race car at the track but would appreciate the hands-down absolute BEST VALUE for everyday driving of the three i7 trims, WHEN IS SOMEBODY GOING TO REVIEW the 449HP i7 eDrive50?!? I'd love to hear how a professional compares it to the "mid-range" 536HP i7 xDrive60 experience. The only differences I'm aware of after my test drive (besides the unnecessary HP increase) are that the "x" is AWD (compared to the "e's" RWD -- which I don't need in CA anyway) and the LED roof is standard (compared to the "e's" glass roof which you can ADD the LED lights for an extra charge). Other than that, it's the EXACT same car in every way -- both even have the exact same 549 lb-ft. torque for the same acceleration from a standing stop or for entering freeways, etc., AND the eDrive50 has the LONGEST RANGE of all the i7s -- ALL for $20,000 less than the xDrive60 and $60,000 less than this M70, a STELLAR price!! Given this information, it seems this sleeper-of-a-deal vehicle SCREAMS for a review which I'm sure would be appreciated by many who -- based on all the voluminous UA-cams of the xD60 and M70 exclusively -- are probably largely unaware of it. BTW, putting my money where my mouth is, I DID factory order a loaded eDrive50 myself, for Dec/Jan delivery -- such a steal (even irrespective of my 7% off MSRP)!! Why in the world has a review of this amazingly-worthy eDrive50 escaped the attention of any competent reviewer? But hey, no problem, because I already got mine coming!! 🙂

    The auto doors is a nice feature but software, sensors and motors not in sync with real world usage.
    Thus, the auto door motors will likely prematurely fail and/or overheating fire risk as the functionality is not dialed in yet as it resists real world usage, constantly resisting user input.
    Hopefully they can be deactivated via the vehicles software settings until the technology improves to be congruent with real world usage.
