“The car comes with good looks, this doesn’t have it but I’ve seen it and I love it” -Rory.

I think that if the previous beautiful 7 series cars didn't exist then this would be OK. I loved when every item on BMWs and Mercedeses had a purpose, now they just keep adding toys screens and bling and highly patterned leather in the seats and Las Vegasy lights and touches to keep their buyers from getting bored. It is a business after all and it's working for them.

The i7 imo looks cool. Although not eye catchy.

Never been a massive fan of the 7 series but this has hands down changed the interior game! Love the classy touches and the screen at the back, most definitely would consider one

Love the tech in new cars, but I wonder how long it will last before it needs endless trips to the dealer for expensive diagnostic fault finding. Then huge bills for new tyre pressure modules etc. Well made electronics can last decades, but will they use quality stuff that lasts past the warranty period?

I think the only thing that really saves this car is the interior

I saw one in the flesh the other day and it isn’t bad at all. It has presence and looks different. If you want something normal and boring looking, then get an A8. I think it will grow on people like the Chris Bangle 7 series did from back in the days. I really hate EVs of any sort but as a BMW fan, I can make a small exception. I would have a 7 series over an S class and A8. I think it’s great.

Another great video. May not agree 100% with all the conclusions but you give it a fair hearing which is what we love 🙏

The interior seems impressive on the surface. Personally I find it too blingy and if recent BMWs are any indication, half of it won't be working in 10 years time.

Personal love the look presence and luxury of this car. My favourite from the latest 7 s and a8

The interactive bar got me hypnotized! I can't see the front grille anymore.

I can't deal with the front, but the profile is way sharper than the blob-like EQS and actually looks like a luxury saloon. Just put the damn buttons back, even capacitive buttons aren't good enough! I'm hoping the next 5 series/i5 will have a more conservative and restrained version of this design.

Sorry Rory, the M3 and M4 grill hasn't grown on us! LOL!

Hated it when I first saw it, LOVE it since I drove it. Another great review Rory! ✨👌✨

Top review as always Rory...👍🔝

Is it just me or is rory the best car reviewer in the UK. Including grand tour lads

In my opinion it feels like they have built it on a Rollce Royce Ghost and then slimmed it to make it a BMW. The tech is sufficient but it still falls behind the range offered on an S-class.

I had an i7 drive up behind me the other day at a red light; absolutely massive. I was in an IX5 and it still felt like a looming giant behind me. You got to see it up front to appreciate it. It's definately not for the meek.

That car has a visually challenging look lol

This one of your best videos obviously after Mercedes EQS SUV

It’s a big departure from the previous generation (G12) and I hated it when it debuted, but in person and in black it has a very nice road presence. Plus the interior is gorgeous. I still prefer the G12 however, especially in Alpina B7 form

It is a lot better in person. Drove behind one today on traffic and it has a solid stance. I'm starting to like it a lot.

0:46 "Deutsch Challenger" yeah, makes sense either way. Not sure if that was intended or if i misheard him, but still a cool play of words.

The screen in the rear is too high up. Should've been eye level. I've sat in it, and the sales guy said the same thing

So, do I need to by a separate subscription to get out of the car througg a door I got in?

Amazing. I love it.

I saw one yesterday, the road presence is INSANE!

What if you get a dead battery? How will any of the electric switches work for you to get to your battery to jump start it?

That heart shape on the window just confirms that this car is designed for the Chinese taste.

The most lovable thing about a Series 7 is the sensation depreciation. Even if you never intend on buying one, it's magnificent to watch the incredible loss of value.

When you drive it who cares about the outside, at least it is different and noticeable. But what I find worrying is the lack of proper buttons for critical items like the hazard warning switch. Would not consider having one, too big, but wouldn't mind being chauffeured in one.

I want to believe, I need to believe that the only front seat you can control from the back is the passenger seat, at least while driving. In general a fun car, but the kind of fun that limits with eccentric. And I reckon a car that will depreciate massively in a short period of time.

I love new BMW'S. They are challenging design conventions with new technology.

You won me over. I can get used to the looks with all that tech. Nice car coat Rory! Let me know the brand. I like the length.

No heads up display in the UK, so I won't be swapping my current BMW 7 series anytime soon. I much prefer physical buttons and dials which are easy to use whilst driving. No diesel or petrol only variant means this car is now £100k+ in all models which is very expensive. The Mercedes S Class looks a very good alternative

Take it to west coast customs and get a better looking front bumper and grille Then it's the best car ever

We forget that BMW has designed this car with the Asian, specifically the Chinese market in mind, where they love the big grills and size. This car's target market isn't Europe.
