The most hi-tech car I've ever driven!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Meet the most luxurious, hi-tech cars BMW has ever released - the new BMW 7 Series & BMW i7! Mat’s flown over to America to get his hands on these two luxurious limos to give them a full-blown, proper in-depth review!
Let’s start with a look at the design. One thing’s for sure, from the back and the side, there’s no hiding that this is clearly a 7 Series. Sure there have been a few design upgrades over the previous generation, but the side and rear profile are quite clearly in the traditional 7 Series mold.
But of course, it’s up top where things get interesting, with an absolutely massive double kidney grille that dominates the front end. Combine this with the split headlight design on either side, and you've got yourself one car that will definitely turn heads!
Once you step inside, you are treated to a cabin absolutely full of high-quality materials, including leather & carbon on the dash, soft-touch felt on the roof, and super comfortable cashmere seats. You’ll also find the same swooping infotainment screen as in the new iX.
But of course, the main feature of this interior is the huge 31-inch 8K cinema screen in the back! This thing is absolutely insane, and when you combine it with the ability to fully recline the seats in the back, there’s no denying that this is pretty much the best bit of technology we’ve got our hands on in any car… EVER!
When it comes to performance, the range-topping BMW i7 60 comes with two electric motors to deliver 544hp and 745Nm of torque. It comes with a 102kWh battery pack that’s good for a claimed range of 388 miles. As for the BMW 7 Series, it comes with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers an almost identical 544hp and 750Nm.
As for the price, the 7 Series starts at £102,000, while the i7 starts at £108,000. But are they both worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

Buttons, dials, levers etc perform an important safety function. You instinctively learn where they are and don't need to take your attention away from the road. They also unambiguously do something and provide a positive response to that effect. While there are things that can be pushed into the infotainment system there are red line items that should never be - wipers, volume, aircon, indicators, headlights, full/dipped beam, cruise control and some other stuff. And neither should they be replaced with haptic style buttons. Unfortunately some manufacturers, especially Tesla don't know when to stop and their cars are actually dangerous from it - witness the Model 3 which relegates wiper speeds to the dashboard which has caused crashes, or the new Model S that has a ridiculous flight yoke style steering wheel. But even the likes of VW are using junk haptic controls and for the life of me I don't get it.

Oh god - I am always changing the adaptive cruise distance setting as needed in traffic. If I'm in heavy traffic where I don't want people constantly cutting in, I change it to the nearest setting. If I'm in a 2-lane road I select a further distance. And depending on exterior conditions, I adjust from there as I deem rational for safe driving. Literally multiple times per drive. Changing the setting in the infotainment center would drive me nuts.

I understand the frustration about having so many stuffs in the menu... at the same time, the thing is that you have so many stuffs. Think about this, in the beginning you only have the pedals, the gear level, the steering wheel, the swippers and the headlights. Then we got ventillation and heating. So we put it in the middle. Then we got the electric windows, we put on the side. Then we had music and radio, we added them in the middle. Then GPS, it started to be a bit more complicated. Then cruise control. And now you have so many features in that particular car that the complexity of the interface is in the end, just a result of the incredible amount of features and settings the car offer you. Isn't that funny that this complain is actually us complaining that we have too many features ?

While the front styling is polarizing, this example is the best version. Dark color, hides the lower headlamps so you really notice the upper lamps. It's not hideous in this guise, but acceptable. The interior is gorgeous though

Mr. Watson, a British car journalist reviewing a German car in the US & me watching it from Namibia.
I'm not the biggest BMW fan... but I like it. Looks awesome in that matte black. I like the big screen, but (!) I miss some small buttons for features that you use much more often than others.
Matt there is a thing you can get for all the bottles ! It's called a' bag' !
I love the black paint on the i7. It would be a perfect fit for vips or bad guys in movies . Looks really stealthy

top content as always mat but a little disappointed that buy-sell-car-wow wasn't buy-sell-car-WOW with animation timing.
I am looking at my heating radiator in my living room, and almost feel inspired to design a BMW.
The quality of the video is insane this is my favorite channel by far keep it up ❤❤❤

Loving Mat's trainers in this video! He's definitely upped his game!
I like the sides of this car , the c pillars like the old bmws.
reminds me a little bit of the car what homer simpson designed :)
Matt - awesome review. Avid follower and car lover - I will take your advice. Been waiting for this car for over 12 months now. Can't wait any longer for the i7-70, which will be my preferred choice. Unfortunately in Australia we dont have the option for the V8 Hybrid :(

Most people probably won’t spec it anyway and it won’t have much actual use I bet. Very cool though!
I love the sound of a bit of vaganza
Honestly i actually think it looks awesome. Im impressed.
If you buy an i7 and find a rock thingy under the hood, now you know where it came from. 👀
Welcome back to The States Matt! Always enjoy your videos! The new 7 is so controversially designed that I love it. Thanks again…

20:02 the traffic lights blink red when something is wrong, it should be treated as a 4-way stop
The good thing I notice in this Bmw is it came with blinkers
When Mat showed the cable harness I could only imagine the amount of time needed to find one lose cable.
Always knew Mat is the type of guy that goes for folding phones:) Im in the same weird ball-park
11:20 sure the 'crystal' knobs and switches look great but god are they absolute fingerprint magnets
I hate the new BMW designs at first and then I see them in person and they look pretty good
Watching car wow is always a good way to hype up your day!
The boost paddle actually prepares the whole system for a kick- down which is better for the car itself
Is it a good choice for a first car
my god the dual tone 7 series is a beauty
Spending most of the time with the car IN the car, the amazing interior and superior driving comfort absolutely nails it for me! Script at 15:10 is hilarious!

When that happens to traffic lights in America it means that the lights have to be reset because power was cut to them or some type of error has occurred. It blinks red meaning stop, look, and go. It blinks yellow to say that you should slow down and look before you completely go past but not a single soul in America ever does that 😅.
I feel like I don’t understand what anyone’s saying about cars until I find mark Watson telling it how it is, I literally can’t watch any other car reviews !😂
The interior of modern cars (2018+) look so futuristic, like something out of bladerunner. The prices though, that makes it difficult to justify.

We take traffic for granted in America. The flashing red lights are typically when power is out and they represent stop signs. I never thought about someone not understanding that. That was actually pretty damn funny.
