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.

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...

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.

so with the screen down it blocks the rear view and bmr doesn't have a rear view camera

Looks like a Chinese made BMW. Which isn't surprising. BMW said that this new 7-series was more catered to the Chinese market.

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! M

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.

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.

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

I like the design. Kinda looks like a rolls royce from the future.

SUCCESS.activasion.

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.

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?

I don't know why BMW use those same old rims. It makes a car look outdated, but with a facelift.

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.

I just throw up in my mouth after looking at this car

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.

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.

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 KZreadrs 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.
