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 🌹
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.
How did they miss the electronic camera rear view mirror because when the theatre mode is in use the driver cannot see anything in the rear view mirror 🤷🏻♂️
Another fantastic review!!! I’ve been waiting for more information about the 7 series and here it is. I would definitely purchase all my luxury vehicles from Thomas if he worked at a dealership near me because his attention to detail and presentation skills are captivating. Keep up the fantastic work!!
Great review. And small world, I actually drove by you guys while you were filming on hwy 74 (you passed my street in this video) 😎 Excellent job on this one.
You are reviews are one of the best , Great work by your team. Its always good to look into more details , You have done a fantastic job and aced it . I liked the bit very you show all the colours especially , its is good to see directly rather than in the brochures. Thank you.
Trylly amazing car 👏, so glad this review got out. And something i got nostalgic about. I watched some old review of an Peugeot and every review started with Full HD, Full screen and Full length let's go😁 and i miss it can you say it in some next review xD

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
Thomas is the best car review guy, but I hate the split head lights and I think its the ugliest and worst design in BMW, it look so ugly and more like Hyundi or Kia, from the back it looks like Toyota Avalon. it just does not have that BMW presence
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
After watching this video. I see myself owning this BMW i7 and see myself driving it through roads in London, Liverpool, and Leicester. I'm finally have this automobile vehicle now. 😅😅
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?
Great review ! Im really glad BMW brought the Exterior M-package to the i7. The design has grown on me and imo the 7 series looks really good with the sporty M-package. The i7 looks far better than the EQS, i can‘t stress that enough.
Just to let you know, i’ve got an executive chauffeur service operating in the Netherlands and Germany, in case you weren’t joking about being driven around! Driving Mercedes EQS tho👀
I LOVE it, everything about it I love that grill I love the two-tone, black and wine paint color, I love the separation of the lights. I literally love everything about the score of course I’m a huge fan of German engineering but I would take Audi or Mercedes before BMW may be until this car. Currently own an 2019 A8L. And I would probably take the electric over the petrol.
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
Fantastic review, as always! Something that caught my attention - you mention that there are very few differences between the ICE and EV versions of the 7 Series from the driver's seat. What about the paddles? I believe the i7 only has a left paddle, while the ICE variant has both.
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.
Those door closing buttons are awful. I just watched another review from a US auto journalist, and while demonstrating the capacitive AC vent open/close control, he accidentally swiped on it a bit too much and activated the door close button. That is TOTAL ergonomic failure by BMW. There either should be more distance between the door close button and any other control, or the door button should have been a physical button that requires a firm click down on it to activate, to avoid accidental activation, and not a capacitive control. It baffles me how such glaring design flaws make it past testing and into production.

Not sure why people think the large grille looks bad. I think it looks good.
The interior blows Mercedes out the park!
As a pervious S class owner, I never thought I'd say a BMW has a better interior than Mercedes
‘BMW has a better interior than BMW’
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.

If u can still switch, do the animals a favor and pick the Veganza seats! (Black/burgundy mix available if u like red)

Love everything about this design from door to door and from front to the boot.
That white spec from the front - Unbelievably horrendous. I wonder what Clarkson would say about it. 😁

What watch you wearing Thomas?
I wish you could choose between this one and a more classic looking cockpit, the long digital displays just don't give a real luxury feeling for me.

@@TheWarpYoshimitsu It might be glossy but thats high quality plastic, thats for sure
I like the A8 interior

No matter what i7 looks way better than that EQS which looks like crescent on wheels to make it more aerodynamic
This makes me excited for the new 5 series, better looks but similar tech and interior bits.
Agreed!
The new 5 serie gonna be something extra, got the G31, and i cant wait!
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.
best looking inside and out. no ugly creases. very clean imposing design. good job BMW!
That front is like an after market design
so the 7 series 760i petrol is have a light front grill right ?
Does it come as standard with adaptive cruise control? I bet it doesn't
With the 'Cow Pusher' Front Grill? Ugh...Ugh...Ugh...Ugh!!! Screw the ChiComs!
So how does this experience compare to the V8 A8 you drove in Norway?
Love both. Steering better in the A8, suspension both awesome, A8 sadly only animal skin
The slightly higher drag is worth it for the look. Nothing else like it on the road. Incredible.
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).
Amazing car in and out. stunning
That macbook connection is very sloppy. Is there no HDMI port in the center armrest?
no thats the port for the screen
Getting used to the exterior looks and it really looks both cool and great
After watching this video. I see myself owning this BMW i7 and see myself driving it through roads in London, Liverpool, and Leicester. I'm finally have this automobile vehicle now. 😅😅
your voice helps me fall asleep. that's not meant to be insulting. i like the show while awake too.
hehe thanks feel free to enjoy all day =)
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?
yes you can use that while driving
Great review ! Im really glad BMW brought the Exterior M-package to the i7. The design has grown on me and imo the 7 series looks really good with the sporty M-package.
The i7 looks far better than the EQS, i can‘t stress that enough.
thanks! Keep tuning in !
Beautiful 2 tone paint , love the design.
The new 7 has busier face than those of the busiest android smartwatch.
Just to let you know, i’ve got an executive chauffeur service operating in the Netherlands and Germany, in case you weren’t joking about being driven around! Driving Mercedes EQS tho👀
awesome =)
I don't mind the split headlight design, sort of reminds me of the Z1.
I LOVE it, everything about it I love that grill I love the two-tone, black and wine paint color, I love the separation of the lights. I literally love everything about the score of course I’m a huge fan of German engineering but I would take Audi or Mercedes before BMW may be until this car. Currently own an 2019 A8L. And I would probably take the electric over the petrol.
Two-tone paint might be good for Maybach, Roles-Royce, or Bugatti, but Not for BMW at all!
good reviewer
Thanks 🙏 most welcome!
So the normal cars have d/s on the shifter, the electric one d/b, what does the phev have?
😄 good one! No idea we ll have to find out
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
Playing inuendo bingo in todays episode!! 🤣 Where do I apply for the driver role? 🤣
😄
@Thomas, I love your videos and BMW7 is my favorite car.
Thomas like you Blue is Best for me as well
the white one looks like wearing a black mask in the front lol
Storm trooper
It's like 2,5 tons of a gimmick on wheels. Seems way too kitschy for most people who can afford and would buy one.
It's fantastic ❤️❤️
Can you do it with
Bmw 760li 2022 and bmw i7 2023
And thank you
My take on the front design: Chris Bangle
He is back😱
Great
OMG these cars are so wide I feel that you could hit the rocks on the side of the road at any time 😟 Great review👏
Thanks 🙏
2 Tone Ugly Pkg: $13,000. We Keep The Chrome But You Pay For It Pkg: $6,000; Display screen placed off-center under binnacle, No Charge.
that purple one is so fckn amazing sick and so on 🤩😀 i love that new design style in 7 series also in rolls and in xm too
Fantastic review, as always! Something that caught my attention - you mention that there are very few differences between the ICE and EV versions of the 7 Series from the driver's seat. What about the paddles? I believe the i7 only has a left paddle, while the ICE variant has both.
Thanks 🙏 hmm good ques, cant we see in the video?
@@autogefuehl Yes, the right paddle is visible in the 760 Li at 35:10, while it is missing on the i7 at 47:47 :)
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.
that illuminated grill looks like an arsch, and the camera placement doesn't do it any better
I love how the non m sport trim looks like
Yeah the excellence trim looks good as well.
BMW looks confused on this one with that exterior. They seem to be losing their bmwness and trying to fit in with everyone else.
Those door closing buttons are awful. I just watched another review from a US auto journalist, and while demonstrating the capacitive AC vent open/close control, he accidentally swiped on it a bit too much and activated the door close button. That is TOTAL ergonomic failure by BMW. There either should be more distance between the door close button and any other control, or the door button should have been a physical button that requires a firm click down on it to activate, to avoid accidental activation, and not a capacitive control. It baffles me how such glaring design flaws make it past testing and into production.
yep as seen in the review when Michel gets hit by the door :)
I like the look.
The delay on the screen surprises me. Do home HDMI setups suffer from this as well?
Not that
If they chopped off the top DRL and made the grill small like the old 8series. This design would be boss
