I have a new BMW with the gesture controls like you demonstrated for volume control. It sounds gimmicky, but it is a feature I actually really like. There is a learning curve, but once you learn it, it is actually really easy way to control the radio without ever looking off the road. Most people try to put their fingers too close to the screen (like MKBHD did), but the "sweet spot" is actually just above the center console (where your hand would naturally be). If you are resting on the armrest, you barely need to lift a finger to control the volume or skip tracks and stuff. It is something I find myself doing in our other car and it always takes a few seconds of it not working to remind me that I can't do that. That's how much you grow to rely on it. I feel like everyone always laughs about it, but its actually a really cool feature.

I hate pretty much everything BMW is doing with their new cars but you're right, the gesture control is a really useful feature. I've used it in the last gen 760i. It works flawlessly and it's very natural

I agree. Every vehicle has a learning curve. As an over-the-road driver from 1991 to 2018 every time I changed vehicles I had to learn each one especially so when I was used to one manufacturer and went to a company that used another. My best advice is read the manual before driving.

So for IOS users with iPhone 11 or later, your phone can work as a fob with the U1 chip and push to unlock when your within 1m of the car and lock when you walk away. I know many apps do this but with bluetooth it’s not quite as precise vs with U1. Also it makes sharing car keys in the wallet app super easy and you can set driving speeds if your lending the car to a teenager for instance which is pretty cool!

Extras, interior/exterior color, etc… After a couple months, I get a call and my new car is at the dealership and ready for me to come and get it.

BMW is frequently ranked #1 in J.D Powers dependability/quality annual surveys. Their surveys are based on responses received from people who’ve owned the car since new for atleast 3 years & was the original/first owner. BMW is in business to sell new cars. BMW (& all auto makers) aren’t particularly concerned with their vehicles lasting any longer than 7-10 years at most as their customers upgrade on average every 2-3 years. It’s also unrealistic to think any luxury car, loaded with features/gadgets would be trouble free in the long term. At the end of the day, cars are developed to satisfy new car buyers. Not some Joe Bloggs buying a 15 year old 3 Series after it’s been through 5 owners 😂. - sincerely, someone that works in new car sales & finance (luxury cars).

I have a 2007 Lexus LS600hl that I purchased for 16k CAD. It has the executive massage seat and foot rest package with rear screen and I replaced the DVD player with a Dell Optiplex Micro PC with 16GB Ram and intel i7. It's the longbase model with a v8 hybrid engine that goes 0-100 km/h in 6 seconds. I replaced the head unit with a T'Eyes android head unit with 360 camera. I even installed a starlight roof top. It's got almost all the same tech and I paid about $19,000 CAD for it in total. The UI is much better in my car too.

A lot of the luxury tech like the executive back seat is a really old thing. You can find over a decade old S Class models and others that have the same thing, but obviously without some of the nuances, like capacitive buttons and screens. Most of the stuff you showed here had been in these German luxury cars for a really long time. They mostly iterate on what is available, which is okay, but it's pretty familiar to car enthusiasts already. The big screen and the electric drive are new in this case.

The thing to keep in mind about the i7 is that is more a platform than a car. Their is a reason that you are begin to see it now, and it all comes down to Rolls Royce.... you see, about the same time that the i7 is doing the rounds, so is Rolls Royce's Spectre. RR will NEVER come out and say it (being rather committed to saying that the Spectre is built on the "Architecture of Luxury", a marketing phase for all their vehicles) but i7 is something of a cousin to the Spectre being on the same platform.... You see this ALOT in the auto industry, mostly because it saves costs and really the thing that makes each brand differ is the configuration.... VW brands (so Porsche, Lambo, Bentley, Audi and others) are pretty much the kings of doing this, and again they are far from the only ones with the practice.

Just imagine the efficiency, if BMW would have used a BEV-only platform (they now recognize that and are developing such a platform called "neue Klasse"). Thanks for the great review. Greetings from Berlin/Ger.
@jamviator11 ай бұрын
I don't buy the hype around dedicated BEV platforms at all. Matt watson tested a bunch of EV SUVs and the iX3 was one of them, it beat many of the other dedicated BEV platforms in the range test. I don't think the difference is as great as people think. I love that BMW just makes an electric version and a gas version of the same car. Also I don't think Neue Klasse is a strict BEV platform, it's just their next generation architecture but I'm going by memory I can't bother to look it up right now so you could be right.

@@DanielSilva-bp2qu you are correct. But the unit shown in this video is the top of the range Diamond surround sound system. The standard one doesn’t have tweeters on the headlining. This one does. And Amit is right that with the B&W Diamond Surround Sound System needs to be set up with an EQ, then it sounds absolutely mental. My family has an X7 with the B&W sound system (obviously not the same specs as the 7 series) but playing with the EQ makes a dramatic difference to the sound.

As for things I don’t like: apart from the looks, capacitive touch buttons, cloth seats and cheap-looking piano black that you pointed out I also noticed it’s lacking height-adjustable seat belts. Which seems like a weird oversight. MUCH cheaper cars have that feature but BMW decided to cheap out on such a basic feature…I don’t get it.
