I watch car reviews on UA-cam almost 3 hours everyday, but your reviews, Thomas, are the best, the most detailed and fully attention and dedication is given. Most well done, Thomas! Most well done!
I once drove to 240km/h with my 435i, and the car is shaking like riding a horse, but not even a little feeling the car is going to fall apart. BMW is really doing amazing jobs
Excellent review Mr. Thomas, very informative and helpful. I respect German cars manifecture especially BMW company, they are ahead of the game always. Thank you for your outstanding efforts in explaining the pros and cons of this model.
I think your reviews are amazing and contain incredible detail that you do not get on UA-cam / TV or anywhere. Not a fan of the swinging camera angles however, smooth slides in older videos are preferred. Keep up the amazing work Thomas and Autogefuhl!
Great review, Thomas! I'm awaiting delivery of my 2018 750 iX this summer, and by watching your video, I won't need to spend so much time with the owner's manual. Ausgezeichnet! Dankeschön!
Man,i really apreciate how you make this vids ,i think you are the best ,quite unique style! And for the car,well i simply love this new 7 series (not the color from this particular) ,it looks unique,for me ...better choise than a S-Class and an A8 ! Keep up the good work Thomas!
OMG thank you soooooooooo much Thomas for achieving what you promised to do before as I have been eagerly waiting for it as no one can examine and tell how good it is like you. Actually, it was yesterday when I remembered that it is the time for the BMW 7 series review. Then, today I got really excited to discover that the review is just out there and ready. Moreover, as always the review is as great as you. Highly appreciate the great efforts and thank you so much again.
You're correct about the camera 'control'. I've been driving my X5 since october last year now and there are indeed times I'd like to select certain camera views when I want to use/see them, but that doesn't work (or at least not like I want it to). Maybe I'm missing something, but you seem the have the same problem as I do. But again, another great review, Thomas!
Once again a very educational and great review from Thomas. As you've said the design and everything is evolving and bringing it closer to the S class. Personally I'll go for the silver star as I already drive the 2016 E. Making the decision to buy the E class was partly made easy from watching your passionate and uncompromising reviews about it. Thank you very much Thomas and Autogefuhl. Great job.
How well do the head-up displays generally work? Is it worth paying money for? Think this cars interior is really beautiful, I really like the clean and simple look it has. Almost a very humble luxurious style, which makes it more suitable for every day driving I think than some of the competitors.

Thank you for this great Video or let me tell you in German ein guter danke schoen especially I'm a BMW fan for over 30 years my first one was the BMW 525i but the 7 was every time my prefer one reason the technology was so much advanced
+Tito Andorra They are tastes. I really prefer both the exterior and interior of the Mercedes and I would spend my money in the Benz rather than the BMW. You might prefer the 7 series, but I don't. They are opinions.
Great review Thomas ! Beautiful and elegant interior combined with cutting edge technology and sporty handling makes this vehicle highly desirable. Appreciate your comment about the sound quality of the turn signals. Didn't sound as premium as I would expect...but that is a minor detail. I think the exterior of the car would benefit from a more sporty appearance. Nothing drastic, but a few sporty design features would make it a bit more appealing . This was an exceptional review and an hour well spent . Hope to see a review of the new Porsche Carrera soon. I am eager to hear your impression of the new biturbo engine in the base and S models and how it compares to the previous naturally aspirated engines. Best wishes from the U.S. !
+fhkazm thanks! Yes indeed, next Porsche will be 718 Boxster (driving it today), new 911 will follow by the beginning of May (as Carrera 4S convertible, very sexy)
This is is a very good handling car,bmw 740li,2 cars in 1,first is a comfortable business sedan and second is a sport car, bmw 740li 2016 year/2017 year g11/g12good choise for daily driver.
Thomas do more BMW reviews you're best! I'm waiting almost a year for a M4 review, from other reviews they said it's best in it's category and better. Keep up good work and cheers from Serbia! I lerne Deutsch but ich weiß nicht gut :D
The 730i with the 2liter engine is a BIG seller in the Turkish market. The Turkish market taxes cars based on engine size (cc) so any engine above 2L will get taxed 130%. 1.6-2.0=80% tax. Anything below 1.6 is taxed 30%. The price difference between the 740i and the 730i is about 70.000euros !
Excellent detailed review. The 5 musketeers S Class; A8; LS; XJ and 7 Series. In terms of drive - the XJ first, then 7 series second and A8 third. Comfort - S class first, probably LS second, A8 third and 7 series fourth. So the all rounder would be the A8. The driving all rounder, the 7.
Imaging having a S500 and 750i parked outside. Which do you chose if you know you are going to be stuck in traffic on the way to work? Which one for buying bread and milk at the nearest convenience store? Weekend away in the mountains? Long trip on the interstate/autobahn/freeway?
+Radu Average S class driver wouldn't know how to start up BMW 7 Series :) Mercedes would never introduce such key or any of the technology from 7 series as they are aware it is too progressive for their customers.
+Sandouras With 3 and 5 series they already have the market, but with 7 series they still struggle with S class and maybe A8. Having that in mind you will always get much more for your money with 7 series than with 3 or 5 series comparing with competition. They simply have to offer more and it is clearly visible. It i so much better than current competition.
g00dfeeling They have the market because their 3 and 5 are better. The S has always been better than the 7. I love this new 7, but even now, its interior is inferior to the S
About 6 months ago the car started sputtering when you accelerate. I found online that you can take your BMW 2011 750LI xdrive in for a customer care package ( They did not call it a recall but a customer care package.) I thought this would correct the problems because they replace some sensors and vacuum hose but the problem is still there. BMW did a full diagnostic and said (Remove and replace all injectors (x8), ignition coils (x8),and spark plugs (x8) (During the inspection found the vehicle misfiring) final cost will run $6777.00 my warranty company will refuse to pay because they wanted to know what would you replace all 8 injectors and all of the other parts because all 8 injectors cant be bad. The warranty company think BMW know they have a faulted Injection systems and trying to upgrade and correct the problem at the customer expense. The car burn major oil, BMW claim this is normal. I will get a second opinion. This is the worst car I have ever own and when you spend a 100,000 on a car you expect to drive it more then 4 years without all of the problems these car has cost us. I thought BMW quality meant something. I will never, never buy another BMW in Life.
exactly. This is my second one. My 2008 was a much better build car. If you read online about all of the complaints 750li xdrive and other 750LI build from 2009 to 2015. BMW used to stand for quality. The paint on the knobs started fading after two years. This car is a mess. You would think BMW would have some honor and do a recall and repair all of the defects this car have.
Thanks! Hm I think they are comfortable, but indeed the seats in Audi A6/A7/A8 appeared better to me e.g. We ll soon show you the facelifted BMW 7 Series!
No doubting that this is an amazing car and if you add up all the features and compare pro's and con's in comparison to its rivals it may well come on top...BUT i still think the S Class is the one to buy in this segment, even though its 2/3 years older.
+DaFinn s class more stylish? more luxurious maybe, but not stylish. this is a GT and offers something different to the s class which is more about 'wafting' and aimed at the older gentleman. BMW is younger person's car and more dynamic.
Thank you Thomas for giving such a detailed review. I just bought a 2018, 740 i last night here in Southern California. I own a late model S550 too, and fully agree with your conclusion that the S class is more plush and classy, as aptly stated, more for chauffeur driven usage. Whereas, the 740 i is quick and agile. Learned a whole lot on the car, Mine is with the M package, that includes the panoramic moon roof. I have to still explore as to what all features my car is equipped with. Is "Head up display" standard on all 740 i (s) or is an option. I have yet to test it on a freeway here, but we have a 65 miles limitation, which means I'll never ever be able to push the car to 200 Km as you did. Thanks again for showing so many details of this beautiful car. I opted for Alpine white with black interior. Looks beautiful, especially with the changeable ambiance lights in 6 colors. I'll be doing orange on the halloween night next Tuesday. haha.
The carbon core makes the car lighter but what about at the end of its life? How do we reuse or recycle the material if they are fused with carbon fibre?
Great review as always Thomas. Cheers. What confuses me is why the gesture control is not incorporated with a voice control, like siri or go android. That way you would simply talk to your car for pretty much everything e.g. calls, directions, heating, massage.....
Nice review :) I was away (3 months in Amazonia forest !!) but now, I can see all your videos ! Love the interior, but this white color... not for everyday. Please, review the M2 !!!
Thomas, good as always ..love your reviews..However this episode camerawise - music is louder than your voice and details made with the camera are very annoying - I mean those camera sneak peaks or what should that be .. not good.
I always wonder how long the dialscreen and the navigationscreen will last. I drive a car from '92 with a lot of pleasure that (obviously) has analog clocks. There has never been anything wrong with it. I wonder how these screens will be when the car is 24 years old too... Anyway - great car - great review - dankeschön Thomas!
I have thought a lot about this aswell. I think though that in the future cars will have a life length about 1-5 years just like computers and cellphones.
I m driving Lexus but i must say, if you test the LS now it will be raped immediatly... unfortunatly the LS is clearly ovvvvverdated... everything look older inside ans outside you really see that the LS is now comming too much old conception. Lexus really need to work on it and show what they can really do. I m a big fan of Lexus. I m drivibg my second GS450H f sport 2015... but clearly if i had 123.000 euros, i would never buy a LS. Serie 7 or classe S or A8 are so much more moderns.
+loo lolo Merc is a dinosaur near BMW))) It's like to compare Renaissance with Bauhaus (IMAO). Lexus is the compatitor to Merc only, it's really can't be compared with Bimer in driving perfomance or technology, but it easily can be compared in saloon quality. By the way it's WAY more comfy than BMW :) Lexus for safety and relaxed driving... And I'll chose Lexus LS600H rather than Merc S.
Good review, but will like to see you get your hands on the long wheelbase 750 Li, especially the M Sport version. The standard 740, not bad, but this color combination along with standard Dakota Leather, makes it look kind of bland. The Merino, and darker color interior, especially the Cognac one is gorgeous. The M Sport version I have is quite impressive, the 35 series tires, along with lowered suspension doesn't seem to affect the vehicle that much in ride quality. In other words impressive, and the vehicle really handles well in the twist, when put in Sport. The G12 7, I am driving does not have xDrive option, but still handles surprisingly well. It can't compare to the A8, because majority of Audi owners buy Quattro, because otherwise it is front-drive car, which will be pretty mediocre in handling.
Tomas, you comparing BMW 7 soft suspension with Mercedes S class, but how it compares to Lexus RX suspension? I know that the cars class are differ but comford ride of Lexus RX is one of the best on car market.
Great review, as always. I always wonder why BMWs are not more generous with rear legroom. Could they not shave 6cm off the engine compartment and add it to the rear legroom? The 6 series convertible is only suitable for rear passengers who have no legs! I know the 7 series has a long wheelbase varient, but surely a 6ft+ driver and 6 ft+ passenger should both be able to strech out in comfort, considering the price you pay for a 7. Very detailed review - Tomas is always the best source to check before you buy. Why are you not on the new Top Gear - you and Sabine would make a great combo.
+Thomas, Thanks this is the best complete review I've seen to the new 7 series! Though here in Canada we don't get the 740i but only the 750i plus e hybrid and above trims ... I am hit by all these bad reviews of the mechanical problems of the V8 N63 engine which freaks me out ... Is the V8 engine really that bad? Any information would be appreciated!
great review as always. Imperial blue looks a bit too blackish. Also, with options the 7 series is very close to a panamera. which would you choose 750i or panamera gts.
A great review. Loved it. Have a 2016 Mercedes S class. Thinking of replacing it with 7 series. Have a spine issue. Need a comfortable car. Drive myself. Any suggestions?
Very informative and enjoyable. The previous generation had rear wheel steering - has this been carried over and is it not perhaps a reason for the excellent steering feel ? Thank you so much
+HERBERT leitner Thanks! A very good question. Tbh I did read that info on everything connected to the predecessor, but not with that one. Didnt find that option yet!
A+ for the review. A- for the car Mercedes has more luxurious feel. BMW is good for the money until the 5 series and even this will be overtaken by the new E class.
After commenting I went on to find your review from 2015, and then your comparison with the S class and watched them both. Sorry! Keep up the good work!

The gesture control could be dangerous for us Italians...unintended consequences if you know what I mean! 👋🏼👋🏼
+Mario Dalla Riva LOL haha yes! =)
Hahaha
I once drove to 240km/h with my 435i, and the car is shaking like riding a horse, but not even a little feeling the car is going to fall apart. BMW is really doing amazing jobs

Thank you for this great Video or let me tell you in German ein guter danke schoen
especially I'm a BMW fan for over 30 years
my first one was the BMW 525i
but the 7 was every time my prefer one reason the technology was so much advanced
+MrPorquoipas Danke ! =)
I'm straight up buying one soon!
The interior of the S-class is the best in this class, so that is why I would go with it, otherwise BMW, Audi are really great either.
+Uzeyir Velizade Agreed.
yeah Merc are best in interior and luxury, BMW is about exterior and speed. I also like steering wheel more on BMW but Merc is interior kings.
Mercedes fans can cry, 7 Series is the best german car. The interior of the S-Class is corny, tacky, i really prefer the staid interior from BMW.
+Tito Andorra They are tastes. I really prefer both the exterior and interior of the Mercedes and I would spend my money in the Benz rather than the BMW. You might prefer the 7 series, but I don't. They are opinions.
+Tito Andorra yes, cockpit with speedometer and other info of S class reminds on two tablets who are joined together
Love the videos keep them up!👍🏻😃

7 Series was always the best serial super-saloon in the world, and the newest generation just proves that.
+g00dfeeling =)))) that would be the s klass

Thank you Thomas for giving such a detailed review. I just bought a 2018, 740 i last night here in Southern California.

you are right, recycling carbon fibre is almost impossible
Great review as always Thomas. Cheers. What confuses me is why the gesture control is not incorporated with a voice control, like siri or go android. That way you would simply talk to your car for pretty much everything e.g. calls, directions, heating, massage.....
+james lovie yes voice control is also possible with the BMWs

Hey Thomas. That massive "key fob" should come with shoulder straps 😁.
+Mario Dalla Riva haha yeah =)
Veeeery nice car and review thanks Thomas!!!! ;-)
+94306v8 thx man !
Thomas, good as always ..love your reviews..However this episode camerawise - music is louder than your voice and details made with the camera are very annoying - I mean those camera sneak peaks or what should that be .. not good.
you are an amazing man tomas
+y1git you are an amazing community!
Could you shortly explain how the new Mercedes E-Class compares to this 7 Series in terms of sound isolation, ride quality etc?
Great review, great car.
+Value 21 Thx, also help us by telling your friends :)
Great review Thomas. keep up the good work!
+George Brad thanks george, join us for more !
Nice review Thomas. Was the car quieter than the Mercedes-Benz S-class?
+Mohammad Chehadde thx! uhhh thats really a tough question. Hard to compare in such quietness
I would like to see your review of the facelifted Jaguar XJ, as your reviews are among the most in-depth ones on youtube.
i ll try to get the XJ !
+Autogefühl Thank you!
Dream car :)
great review (y)
thanks Dennis!
I always wonder how long the dialscreen and the navigationscreen will last. I drive a car from '92 with a lot of pleasure that (obviously) has analog clocks. There has never been anything wrong with it. I wonder how these screens will be when the car is 24 years old too...
Anyway - great car - great review - dankeschön Thomas!
I have thought a lot about this aswell. I think though that in the future cars will have a life length about 1-5 years just like computers and cellphones.
+Bjornlovesjazz merci! yeah good point
PERFECT! BMW will always be my best from German TOP trio =))) Thomas please make review of the Lexus LS600h (SUPERB CAR!).
+Vitalii Gladun It will be awesome to see you drifting in cars like this (not only an autobahn high speed riding)! :D
+Vitalii Gladun Drift in M4 this is luxury :D
+GrabuljA TV Luxury drifting is COOL))) the new V12 M7 the best car for it!)))
I m driving Lexus but i must say, if you test the LS now it will be raped immediatly... unfortunatly the LS is clearly ovvvvverdated... everything look older inside ans outside you really see that the LS is now comming too much old conception. Lexus really need to work on it and show what they can really do. I m a big fan of Lexus. I m drivibg my second GS450H f sport 2015... but clearly if i had 123.000 euros, i would never buy a LS. Serie 7 or classe S or A8 are so much more moderns.
+loo lolo Merc is a dinosaur near BMW))) It's like to compare Renaissance with Bauhaus (IMAO). Lexus is the compatitor to Merc only, it's really can't be compared with Bimer in driving perfomance or technology, but it easily can be compared in saloon quality. By the way it's WAY more comfy than BMW :) Lexus for safety and relaxed driving... And I'll chose Lexus LS600H rather than Merc S.
Good review, but will like to see you get your hands on the long wheelbase 750 Li, especially the M Sport version. The standard 740, not bad, but this color combination along with standard Dakota Leather, makes it look kind of bland. The Merino, and darker color interior, especially the Cognac one is gorgeous. The M Sport version I have is quite impressive, the 35 series tires, along with lowered suspension doesn't seem to affect the vehicle that much in ride quality. In other words impressive, and the vehicle really handles well in the twist, when put in Sport. The G12 7, I am driving does not have xDrive option, but still handles surprisingly well. It can't compare to the A8, because majority of Audi owners buy Quattro, because otherwise it is front-drive car, which will be pretty mediocre in handling.
Tomas, you comparing BMW 7 soft suspension with Mercedes S class, but how it compares to Lexus RX suspension? I know that the cars class are differ but comford ride of Lexus RX is one of the best on car market.
Hm, you can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/5pyKw4gWcXo/v-deo.html
Autogefühl I am driving RX450h, I wanted to know your opinion, you drove both cars.
What is average fuel consumption on 2016 740li vs 730d both rear wheel drives. I wonder what is the difference and is it worth going for petrol
depends on driving profile. Guess you ll save some 2 l / 100 km if you go long haul autobahn. If you often do short routes, better stick to the petrol
Great review, as always.
I always wonder why BMWs are not more generous with rear legroom. Could they not shave 6cm off the engine compartment and add it to the rear legroom? The 6 series convertible is only suitable for rear passengers who have no legs! I know the 7 series has a long wheelbase varient, but surely a 6ft+ driver and 6 ft+ passenger should both be able to strech out in comfort, considering the price you pay for a 7.
Very detailed review - Tomas is always the best source to check before you buy. Why are you not on the new Top Gear - you and Sabine would make a great combo.
+Graeme Winning thanks! and you have a point there with the legroom
+Thomas, Thanks this is the best complete review I've seen to the new 7 series! Though here in Canada we don't get the 740i but only the 750i plus e hybrid and above trims ... I am hit by all these bad reviews of the mechanical problems of the V8 N63 engine which freaks me out ... Is the V8 engine really that bad? Any information would be appreciated!
thanks !
sorry no info on that
Your suit looks better than that 7 series without a moonroof!
+Mentu Hotep haha =)
Please review Toyota GT86
What is this colour name please?
great review as always. Imperial blue looks a bit too blackish. Also, with options the 7 series is very close to a panamera. which would you choose 750i or panamera gts.
+Suman Nayak tbh I dont like the Panamera from the rear, looks like an egg :)
yess..new video :)
looks really amazing
A great review. Loved it. Have a 2016 Mercedes S class. Thinking of replacing it with 7 series. Have a spine issue. Need a comfortable car. Drive myself. Any suggestions?
+rehanburney thanks! Should rather have a suv then?
I am waiting for your ' 760Li xdrive ' review autogefühl.
+thegeronimo333 see the long version here: ua-cam.com/video/lhNk08_UgOs/v-deo.html
Very informative and enjoyable. The previous generation had rear wheel steering - has this been carried over and is it not perhaps a reason for the excellent steering feel ? Thank you so much
+HERBERT leitner Thanks! A very good question. Tbh I did read that info on everything connected to the predecessor, but not with that one. Didnt find that option yet!
When is the german version coming?
My dream car
A+ for the review. A- for the car Mercedes has more luxurious feel. BMW is good for the money until the 5 series and even this will be overtaken by the new E class.
Hi, do you think it's ok without xdrive?
Sure
Sir,
Which engine would you buy? The inline six or the V8? Why?
With the Biden Gas ⛽️ prices the 6 cylinder is better, and will be cheaper to maintain, generates less heat.
Nice suit and car of course...
:>
Can you do the new masterati quatroporte?
Is it new?
After commenting I went on to find your review from 2015, and then your comparison with the S class and watched them both. Sorry!
Keep up the good work!
We do have a quattroporte review: m.ua-cam.com/video/jZtT8wj2e-Q/v-deo.html
Great! Thx and keep following us!
