- MotoMan drives the all new for 2023 @BMW 760i xDrive. Yes, the new generation of @BMWUSA 7 Series, but this one retains the 4.4 Twin Turbo V8 and adds a mild hybrid system. Between the back roads amongst the Palms to Pines highway and Palm Springs, we learn the design ripped from a show car stand is only the tip of the iceberg in the sea of changes for the BMW 760i . . .

I still can’t get on board with the design. It works better for the x7 but not for a sedan
The grille is pretty bad and the car is too high it looks more like an SUV than a 7 series. The previous pre-facelift G12 looks so much nicer.
And the interior design is a step backwards. It has nice materials but besides that the design isn't any better than an iX interior.
And because the 760 lost the V12 it should have at least offered 700 horsepower from the V8 hybrid.
I can't see this new 7 as anything else but a step backwards.
How do I put this? The new 7 series has a face only a mother could love.
Amazing review as always! My question with this amazing car is when that rear entertainment screen is down, is there a rear view camera for the driver to use...sorry I might have missed that during your show. How about when the rear shade is up?
Keep up the amazing work!
Cheers!

How often are you using your rear vision mirror or looking out the back window of a modern car? I feel like I could easily get by with side mirrors and a back up camera
@@DavidRamseyIII Hey Jacob, I look through my rear facing mirror very often. I live in a crowded area where tailgating happens while driving in the city often (even on the highway sadly enough) and rear-end collisions happen quite a bit thanks to this reality. I am glad that you get by using the side mirrors but they are usually used for side traffic. Cheers.
Great question
Bmw really need to own that grill. Merging it into the blackened front fascia is just a cop out. Would look much better chromed out.
The front end looks like a caricature of some weird anime chipmunk smiling 🤣
Imagine your horror when Junior launches one of his Hot Wheels cars at that TV screen and the service department tells you it's $14,000 to replace...
Design-wise, I'm *firmly* in Camp Hate It with regards to the exterior. The lights on both ends are way too small, and the grille is too large.
Which is really a shame, because the interior is *stunning.* It could use a few more dashboard trim choices, but that's about all I can think of there. BMW's exterior designers have lost their minds.
I love the exterior
There is a 750e xDrive PHEV coming in 6-9 months with ~46 miles all electric range.
Let's see the productions cars, I like the design.
I personally prefer the g11/g12 model but the tech in this one is amazing
I love the two tone
I love this car. I can’t wait to go pick mine up.
I have it its borring
It’s beautiful
Feels like this should be 750i badged performance and the 760i badging kept for the really quick one
The really quick one will the Alpina B7
This was a very well produced video, the best of the other UA-cam I’ve seen. Please ask bmw if they plan to offer xDrive on the 740 for the peasants. Seems unimaginable they would not eventually.
amazing car
I feel sorry for the person that buys this car after the warranty is over. Too many electronic systems that could malfuction
As with every modern car
They said that about the E60 5-series, E90 3-series, etc. I have one of each at 15 years old and 111k and 170k miles each. They’re fine. New cars generally get more reliable with time.
I feel sorry for anybody that buys this car cuz it's ugly as hell 😂
If you buy you should be able to afford any problems 🤷♂️
Facts…All luxury cars are like that except Lexus because they try to be more mechanical hence their avoidance of turbochargers. All those cars are great (Except Range Rovers) in the first (3) years. After that…it’s going to be problems.
Looks like a Chinese made BMW.
Which isn't surprising. BMW said that this new 7-series was more catered to the Chinese market.
Most sedans and SUVs are designed for the Chinese market.
You hit the nail on the head
Astonishingly, even this iteration of the 7 series still has the "Hofmeister Kink". You look like a boss in the reclining rearseat, must be comfortable 😁
.....and that kink is the only thing that isn't monstrously hideous in this design. It looks like a locomotive or a semi truck in front and, in back, it looks like a few different cars were stacked up on top of each other. Just ummm, wow...
1:02 I feel personally attacked lol.
:)
For $162k you have to hold down the button that reclines the executive seat?!
I’m not sure why all of these companies have press cars that aren’t already on an active data account so you could just see how it would work if it were your account. 🤷🏻
Right
Thanks a lot
but first,
the screen blocking hind-sight is a legal issue, and
look at that clumsy Black frame of the screen?!
Jaded
I already paid for mine should be in my house around February according to my BMW dealer … you just can’t afford one
the bangle 7 design organic
That screen is bam all up in one's face
it has rails and you can move it fordwards and backwards, you have to press a button on the touchscreen
You also reviewed the S-class, how does it compare to it?
If you're a passenger u can't really compete with the new 7😅
@@chamaldealwis9 it means 7 wins S perfectly?
Dynamically, better than the S Class.
howdy! Colors have been off last few videos.
Tried a new camera. Bear with us.
Is it scratch resistant. Life of the car depends on other motorists 😊
Its a flex piece, meant to perform against peers, but I have to wonder what owner would be driven in this car long long enough to make full use of that screen, or have to sit long enough in it too. The console controls as well are a bit too obscured by the crystal dash piece. In some lights the buttons disappear on camera. I find the looks serviceable and the interior mostly good, that touch screen door control is very nice, more pleasant in the back seat than the front office.
Overall, I find myself thinking, if I was a buyer, to want a more simple approach to a luxury car, like a G90
Beyond hideous. Genesis should not be out-designing BMW.
SUCCESS.activasion.
This is the first video on the new 7 series that I’ve come across that had a problem with the rear screen. I don’t think it’s the norm.
Looks just like the Toyota Crown...BMW just got CLOWNED!
I like the design. Kinda looks like a rolls royce from the future.
I actually like the front of this 7 series, especially in the two tone or all black. Just the back doesn’t look as imposing as the front.
So basically we have a BMW mini truck
I'm in the hate it camp. It's hideous. The front and rear fascias are TERRIBLE. The area below the rear bumper in particular looks awful.
The way that screen sits above the dash -- it just looks cheap. $12,000 for that ugly two-tone paint? ROFLMAO.
Overall width doesn’t necessary translate into interior room 56 inches of rear seat shoulder room is unacceptable for a passenger car of this size. The full size x7 has 65 inches of rear shoulder room enough to seat 3 across.
Yep, it's polarizing, but I love this one. Bangle's Flame Surfacing was just butt ugly, but this one's muscular, proportional, and all around awesome.
Want to do the electronically limited 150+? Pay me extra. Otherwise 130 for you.
- BMW
Did I get that wrong?
I like the 9-series(IX) better.
Alpina will spice it up lol
Alpina said there will no longer be an Alpina 7 series.
Это печально 😭...
That price is *absurd* . At least with the prior M760i you were getting a V12 that was truly special, or for *less* money you could've had the Alpina B7. This feels like all they did was chase Mercedes up the price ladder. The tech is interesting in theory, but it didn't work well in practice, and that's the maintained press car. What chance do regular owners have of getting things to work right?
wait 18-24 months and like all BMWs it will be 40% off...maybe 50%
I don't know why BMW use those same old rims. It makes a car look outdated, but with a facelift.
I like this car but..... i would Love this car IF ..... it looked like a BMW in the front. And im not a fan of the front bumper having gloss black, it should have a 2023 X6 look in the front.
passenger mirror is still not dimming. what a waste of money.
Like all 7 series services shop hogs, along with electrical issues.
Well, I guess if you look at anything enough times....
Hey BMW? Please make this a little affordable 🤷🏾♂️
I mean it would help if you took the time to read owners Manual to learn how things Work and operate .... Than complain about stuff you don't know how they work.. ;-(
You shouldn't need to "read a manual" to access back operational functions. If you do, it means poor car design. Are you going to issue manuals to family/friends that may borrow your car? All you basic controls should be intuitive.
Looks like he toyota crown
Now that's just rude. But you're right.
Get a Genesis G90 or G80 with every option now available in all-electric versions also, and see your dealer about 20 times less.
Lmao any European luxury models even the lexus will kill the highest specs genesis in terms of ride quality, comfort, driving dynamics and so on.
I recently bought a top-trim G90 after side-by-side comparisons to the German lux sedans. The Genesis comfort and driving is at least equal to the others, and the design is far more graceful and less shouty. The materials, drive-line, paint, assembly, and switch-gear quality are noticeably better (no cost-cutting capacitance buttons here). I am constantly told by others about how beautiful it is. Nobody said that about my ugly BMWs.
@@ImtheIC lol bro just spend some time in a recent Genesis model, they are very good, and a huge value.
@@rodgerk. I didn't they bad but yet to be perfect like those name I said. Not gonna talk about Hyundai family you alike build quality.
@@ImtheIC Except with JD Powers reliability,, Genesis passed them all!
BMW have lost it. Absolutely hideous exterior design.
Pay 150k for a car and it’s got the same rear view and side view mirrors as a 1920 car.
I am just not impressed with this vehicle
If you're a boss who can afford this car, then you're probably over 6ft tall.☝️
If you're over 6ft tall, and getting chauffeured, you'll need a SUV limo, like an Escalade.😉👌
If you're a boss and over 6ft tall and buying an expensive limo priced like this BMW, you'll need a better looking car. 🙂👍
The design is boss for a flagship. However, all those screens will be obsolete at best if not broken way sooner than 10 years -already malfunctioning lol. A bit too much fuss and press this, fold that, scroll to that, for the luxury consumer. Don't even mention frequent facelifts and all-new's.
Rather pay more for a Flying Spur or Ghost for way more value for money.
The electronics will obsolesce a car faster than ever.
You are absolutely correct.... instead of paying 160 grand for this I would rather take a lightly used flying spur which is a better all round vehicle with much more prestige
Remeber guys this car will be 40 - 50 thousand in 4 years.
Shop now, buy later 😏
I'm convinced that buying cars that look like this sends the wrong message to BMW, as well as Mercedes, for that matter, that people actually like the way their cars look. No. We do not.
I rather take the XM !! NOW that’s bmw going into the next generation……
Rather in SUV mode.
I know I shouldn't, but I'm starting to like the new 7 series, especially in that two-tone paint work! This car is a tech tour de force, but still a great driving luxury car.
Same. I think the thing it has is what a lot of modern luxury cars are missing. A personality. It's hideous but hell it is unique. I like it
this car is a mess , even a bigger one than Lexus
@@thelastninja4825 huh
The reviewers don't buy one; they don't experience the $3K in depreciation a month, the poor service, the most vulnerable trade-in value for a four-year-old 7 Series, the worst of about any luxury car except a Maserati. BMW makes some great performance cars, but high-end luxury is not their expertise; I knew the service manager so well; having two of them, we about had him over for Thanksgiving. Go on Auto-Trader and look at 3-5-year-old 7-Series, pennies on the dollar. Suitable for business leases, which most are bought far, but one of the worst cars you can buy to enjoy, they can't make it to five years of solid service, and nobody wants them after.
This car is design for the chinese market, chinese love big grills
I just throw up in my mouth after looking at this car
buy a 2019 7 series for $45000 instead
Good design looks better over time....all were up in arms - BMW´s new design language is growing on me. If I would be this BMW-RR, looks like the Rolls to me already, I would go for the i7, not the 760i anymore. Ok staying with the english theme - not my cup of tea. But as a review - this one is way more interesting! :) - to my wishlist? Don't know yet, but always less weight please.
So BMW is out to kill Rolls Royaaaaaaaace
Mercedes looks like a much better deal these days. Oh and the design choices of bmw these days are questionable at best. Get ready to spend many days of your life at bmw dealership fixing things. I will pass. Thanks.
Too much electronic
The future bub.
Nice car but the tech sucks !!!
My God it’s hideous
For the second consecutive year, the Porsche 911 is the highest-ranked model. The Porsche 911 claimed this spot three times in the past four years.
The brand that ranked the highest in overall vehicle dependability is Kia, with a score of 145 PP100. Other mass-market automotive brands ranking high for vehicle dependability include Toyota (158 PP100), Hyundai (148 PP100), and Buick (147 PP100).
Within the premium segment of luxury vehicles, Genesis ranks the highest with 155 PP100, closely followed by Lexus (159 PP100) and Porsche (162 PP100). NO BMW, NO MERCEDES, AND GENESIS IS #1. READ AND WEEP OR PROVE OTHERWISE
MotoMan,
There's a lot I like about your reviews. You've got an interesting perspective and style and a novel way of interacting with the community that other automotive UA-camrs don't.
However, you have the bad habit of flagarently exclaiming (profaning) the Lord's name. Perhaps you don't know how offensive this can be to others, much less to the Lord Himself.
To be honest, I don't watch your videos that often, but when I do, and am enjoying a review, and you do that, I stop watching. I'm not against people's right to say things that may
offend others, but nothing good comes from taking the Lord's name in vain. I hope you accept this feedback in the spirit of goodwill in which it is intended.
what a tasteless design. i'm not a fan.
The exterior is hideous. But sadly, it didn't have to be. If you buy this you have money but no taste/class. They'll love it in China.
Thats the biggest piece of shit ice ever seen!!! BMW has completely lost there way.
BMW knows exactly what they're doing. It's okay if you can't catch on...
As have most of the car industry when it comes to EV. Did they all agree that weird looking was one of the necessary markers of design?
absolutely unnecessary car that tv is bogus
A fossil and a bottomless money pit, with the ability to suck every last penny out of your wallet once the 2 year warranty period is passed.
2 year? 4 year standard with more years possible also…
what a mess of a car
Sencillamente horrible
What's wrong with bmw with designing?
Apparently they don't see what the rest of us see. Or maybe, they feel like Apple that we just aren't smart enough to know better.
