Love this great content. I was wondering what camera and lens are you using?

I was curious to watch this having just purchased an I4. Little thing likes the extra sensors, heated back seats, extra entertainment in the back, more phone pairing seems like it would be nice. But I'm fine with my I4 EDrive 40. I have to say the new I series from what I am reading and experiencing knocked it out out of the park. The hidden thing I either glossed over or did not catch was the range is higher than I was expecting. I do mostly city only driving and find myself only charging my car at home every once a week or so. That is a pleasant surprise. And that is me using comfort mode and heating the cabin and everything. The algorithms BMW uses are more for you driving since deliver, or last charge, or a trip. So it's smart enough to tailor it to show you what you will get with a full charge based on your habits over all. Seems like electric is the future and BMW's new I series are doing great.

If you see a new 7 series taxi, run. run quick.

I bought the gas model (760i) about a month ago and I just love it! At first, I wasn't sure about the grill, but it's grown on me. I got the crystal headlamps as well and if you're going to buy one of these, it's a must have (they're so pretty). The exterior is really nice but what sets this car apart is the interior. My previous car was a 2017 750i and this is just light years beyond that. I loved my 750i when I bought it, but BMW has really stepped up their game. I went to the dealership anticipating on purchasing the Mercedes S class, but once I compared both, there was no way I wasn't going to buy the BMW. It's just a beautiful car. The TV in the back is my only real criticism. It's very nice for the passengers in the back but I don't like how it blocks the rear-view mirror. I tend to use that a lot more than my side mirrors and when the TV is down, you can't see anything out of the back. I would like in a software update for the rear camera to enable when the TV is down so the driver can easily see out of the back while driving. One other thing is the vent system. I personally like the air blowing cold right at me during the summer but without the full vents, you really don't get that anymore. It still cools the car, but I really like feeling the air on my face and you don't get that sensation with this design. Still, I give it a solid 9.5/10. Best car I've ever owned!

Completely agree, the crystal headlights are a must have! I work at a BMW dealership, I have a remedy for you that might help. Down on the center console there’s a little “P” button with a camera on it as well, press that while driving & it’ll enable the rear-parking camera even if you’re driving forwards. Now you’ll be able to see out of the back with the TV down.

as beautiful as this car is, just watching you detail all those “touch bar buttons” just makes me imagine the nightmare of a headache they will cause if one goes out. one thing i love about my 2011 5 series is the button layout and knob that is available. sad to see that manufacturers think the new way is touchscreens and touch bars. think about the mac book with the touch bar lol. after about a year they were basically useless and had a lot of issues not allowing people to use buttons

As somebody who worked intensifely on that car in its engineering process, i am kinda proud, seeing this video. :) One thing Doug missed about the doors is, that you can choose a setting where the driver door will automatically open if you come near the car and also close it again while leaving your car. It will also close the door for you, when you get in the car and press the brakepedal. Looks aside, this is an incredible plattform and it was a thrill working on it aswell as driving it for thousands of kilometers already!

I am only 4 minutes into the video. Doug is still describing the doors, and I realized that even minor accidents will completely total this car.

I can't believe I'm saying this but the front look is kinda catching on for me. It looks decent on the X7, but on the i7 it seemed too big for the cars size, but now the i7 actually looks nice ngl

This is the kind of car you have to watch Doug review. Other journalists skim over all of the details that make this car interesting.

I’m not a screen hater. With all the new features, you need a multipurpose screen to fit all the options. But climate control, seat adjustment and basic stereo controls should absolutely remain as physical buttons and knobs. I don’t want to have to scroll through 5 menus to turn down the volume because my Pandora went from Smoke On The Water to I Cum Blood.
