BMW 7 Series 2020 in-depth review - Carbuyer

[@BFD15i]

Well, the 7 series always was the luxury drivers car, while the S-Class always focussed on maximum passenger comfort. It's the same with the current models. If you want to drive by yourself, go for the 7. If you want to be driven by a chauffeur, go for the S-Class. I hope that it will stay that way, I like it when manufacturers have different approaches to get things done.

[@GDCFC1221]

The front looks great, really classy.

[@raulbarsan8582]

The size of the grille is not the issue, other manufactures do it as well. It's the fact that the grille goes upwards from the headlamps line, not downwards as it should. Ends up climbing on the bonnet

[@marvinlopez5217]

Totally love that new big grill!!! looks amazing!

[@rjkka7260]

far too big for the car............do not like it at all

[@JBOsurf]

why is the front grille so small?

[@toms_garage]

because it was shy

[@TimursYT]

Lmao

[@tj9959]

It looks good irl trust me

[@ashegheaty]

Dont worry they will double it next year.

[@tempe157]

[@TheRealMntungwaKhumalo]

Am so so disappointed with you Ginny.. This is BMW not everything in life has to be Mercedes ..thought you knew that, great car, l love it.

[@soorma5304]

I saw this on the road the other day. it's truly in a league of its own. Beauty and the beast!

[@HMCarReviews]

For me the 7 series from the late 90s early 00s is the best looking. Does anyone else think otherwise?

[@maz500]

I think most of us agree... Same with the 5 of the same era

[@HMCarReviews]

@@maz500 Absolutely, the E39 5 series is gorgeous.

[@danielng3497]

Selim Sultan Akbar BMW made the grille so big because Chinese people liked it so. If it wasn’t for the Chinese, it would’ve still looked normal.

was this video a comparison to the S -Class ???? ......just stick to reviewing the 7 series .

[@yasmint6578]

Exactly

[@mrpipepiddler]

God knows why there's a negative on this car ...its absolutely stunning

[@zikietseka2353]

from the very beginning of this video I could sense your hatred towards BMW, and your favouritism towards Merc. And for the rest of the video we had to listen to you go on and on about how Merc is better than BMW, thats disappointing bcz we came here to learn about this new BMW. Its not uncommon for reviewere to compare rival cars, but they normally use statistics and facts, you were using personal bias in my view, saying things like: the Merc is just nicer, or the Merc has always been better, or such. Such continuous comparison of immeasurable preferences really ruins car reviews

[@bhekangubane4525]

I did not finish watching just because of this emotive language.

[@netweed09]

Wait hang on; how was she 'negative'?? She clearly said she borderline preferred the ''controversial'' grille (that's just crybabies moaning again; the upright huge grille is magnificent and Presidential). But how is this -ve? They rate the car really highly, did you have it on mute for the whole 1st 2 minutes??

[@michaelkahil676]

great s class review.

[@fabio3820]

Its better than a s class

[@Nerdcarreviews]

Yeah true that! She was more into s class than the 7.😈

[@larryb4392]

@@fabio3820 This car is better than the s class in most ways. This was a terribly biased review.

[@everythingzen2428]

Revealing James as the driver is icing on the cake! Great vid, you guys! If it's me I'd get the A8 tho.

[@Moooonieee]

Tbh it’s growing on me. Hated it when I first saw it, but it certainly has character

[@netweed09]

Exactly. At least you get it. That's part of the design motive. I loved it right off anyway - I've been wanting BMW to do something like this for years, something to really Stand Out and take to Mercedes. The previous cars had 0 character, totally bland and front ends looked like lizards (Mercedes no better really). This 7 is prime luxury

[@janvanveelen]

After nothing but trouble with the S-class 2 in a row, 2006,2008 (Gear box mainly, lack of service and not honouring warranty) I went back to BMW 7-Series. I have had 4 in total and had one failure (water pump) which was promptly serviced. Never back to S Mercedes, I have learned my lesson and will stay with the BMW 7-Series.

[@cavramau]

Still driving my 1989 735iL still luxury. Went to a Volt. And I am putting it on light duties as I start to play with a Tesla model 3 soon I hope.

[@AM-kz9do]

Grill what grill !!!! I thought that was the gate to my estate.

[@surfinbird84]

I'd still have an S Class if I had the money to pick one. The Merc has nice flowing lines and curves. This has been styled with a ruler inside and out.

[@warakanda7356]

This new 7 Series has bigger grill, is really really awesome.. Looks more aggressive and luxurious, what else with its solid build up compare to its predecessors, but white interior is not most people liking.

[@txGarage]

What a great luxury sedan 😮 nice work

[@klackon1]

I owned a BMW 520d and loved it: but I feel BMW are in a rut with their dashboard design. To me, the middle screen looks as if an iPad has been glued onto the facia as an afterthought. I just don't feel there is a wow factor. The infotainment system is brilliant; and I prefer the rotary dial to the Audi's touchscreen, but I feel that Audi dashboards are far more stylish. I would like to see BMW keep the rotary dial but follow Audi/Mercedes dashboard design cues.

[@videowsatcher]

the Mercedes S class is a lot worse, those two screens look completely out of place, they stick out like a sore thumb

[@MrVoayer]

"Home, James!" !!! Great stuff !!! Well done Ginny !!! And about new BMW 7... It is all noble and blue-blooded... but why so conservative a grille?

[@gabutman6144]

Watch this after seen Mat review 7 series in carwow

[@jspope2008]

Odd because plenty have said the ride on the S Class is not as good as the previous model ! You see it’s really all about options isn’t it.

BMV has always been a fun car to drive. The larger grill - its a love or dislike. Overall it is a beautiful car. I have a benz as well which is also a lovely car but when it comes to Driving, the Idrive and Nav system - BMV wins: For me. either car you cant go wrong. Nice review

[@gsscotland]

Looking at that interior, just how small is BMW's parts bin?

[@vantagev8331]

I have the new 745e. And the fact that this car’s interior is dated detracts from the whole package which is still awesome. Hybrid only gives 18-21miles which is very poor. Otherwise, I’ll say again, it’s an awesome car.

The grill, looks terribly proportioned on the X7, looks nice here on the 7 series sedan.

[@golfbuddy1969]

Mangofresh2012 yes I have seen 3 or 4 now...but if you like it, I can understand to a certain degree. The individual details are great, but as a whole, or altogether, aren’t real cohesive to me.

That grill is proof that bigger isn't always better 😉😉

Great Video Review. I personally think the New Grille Is a bit to big but I particularly like the New Infotainment System

I don’t really think the S class and the 7 series are rivals. A person gets picked up from the airport in an S class. They come back home and drive around in a 7 series. It’s where they both are at its best.

[@munozcampos]

BMW should have redone the dash and center console like the 8 series and x7.

[@vantagev8331]

Most, bloody definitely. If you are paying so much for it, why is the interior similar to a 3/5 series. Very short-sighted of Bmw.

[@nutfield0013]

Laughing out Loud. I love reading comments. BMW fan boys are really dissatisfied at this review, however like watching a C Class review when a bmw 3 series is mentioned “too much” they don’t seem to have a problem. The 7 series competes against the S Class but isn’t luxurious or good enough. Mercedes, the oldest and original German Car manufacturer, including first petrol car, to which the rest steal credit.
