BMW i7 xDrive60 - All Electric Limo with a £10k Home Cinema ! | 4K

[@PetrolPed]

Damn those clocks changing 🤬 Buy your Petrol Ped Merchandise at Legacy Legends - tinyurl.com/msrdvw6x

[@caractacus22]

Can I get £10k off and forgot the home cinema, OR, can I wait 2 years and buy it for £30K?

[@numbereightyseven]

Yes

[@RickTheSpud]

Assuming you scheduled this before the clocks went back? 😜

[@PetrolPed]

Yeah 🤬

These press cars are lovely but not for real people at that price point. However thoroughly enjoyed the video and always love the OTT specs they put in them

[@stevie007]

£132,000 WOW, I paid less than that for a 4-bedroom detached house in a lovely area of Devon in 2010 !!! and I know which will increase in value by far the greater in the next couple of years.

[@sfankhauser3094]

I totally agree 👍👍

[@SDK2006b]

Due to inflation £132k in 2010 is now worth £235k. Car prices are up for the same reason.

[@stevie007]

@@SDK2006b I beg to differ,

[@stevie007]

@@SDK2006b Zoopla estimates £395,000 Maybe I was lucky and purchased the property at the right time, I will never know but I do feel investing in property is far safer. Thank you for your comments btw they are very much appreciated.

[@SDK2006b]

@@stevie007 - cars like this aren’t investments. Houses have outpaced inflation for years, especially in some locations. My point was - car prices are high now due higher inflation. Yes in the 1990’s you could buy a new Fiesta for £5k, but even those are £17k for a poverty spec model with an underpowered engine now. I remember in 2005 BMW launching a 760Li v12 for over £70k, then in 2010 a similar model was about £100k. The cost of this is in line with previous models.

[@johns14a]

I actually think this looks ok, well in black at least. Enjoyed the review Ped.

[@alisonsmith3817]

Come on Pete let’s get back to more affordable cars ,, no interest in these daft things

[@martinboulden4388]

Agree ❤ I don’t know any private person who would buy this ugly and expensive thing as a private purchase ! Maybe one for the limo companies if BMW subsidise the monthly’s !

[@SDK2006b]

@@martinboulden4388: the UK isn’t the centre of world car purchasing - it’s a tiny %. If you don’t want to watch a video then just scroll on by 💡 Take a trip to The Middle East & China and these will be everywhere. There are more millionaires/billionaires than ever before and BMW exists to make money. Also - who defines ‘affordable’ : seems any new car release/video these days people are moaning it’s not affordable.

My channel is all about variety and sharing a range of cars with my audience. I didn't actually go to this event to film with this car but thought it was an amazing thing people would like to see :-(

[@alisonsmith3817]

Not getting at you Pete as always watch your channel and joes but things are mad at the mo for prices,, pointless me getting any info on these types of cars as don’t ever want 1 .. I don’t care how many millionaires there are still tiny % buy these things.. everyone will be a company car..

Does this mean you never watched Top Gear or Grand Tour? Any programme containing vehicles outside the average price bracket? Even AutoTrader and CarWow step outside the norm quite a lot.

[@briangriffiths114]

Off topic, some of the KZbin channels I subscribe to are complaining that their advertising revenue has been slashed and it causing them problems because many of them have given up their previous employment and become full time YT broadcasters? Has this impacted on your channel as well?

It's a beast alright with that weight. Very nice looking car 🎉

Great review and I love the car it has presence almost like a Royce, for me now superior to the S class and A8. The new 5 is gorgeous too.

[@benhopcroft3168]

Does Joe know your are elbowing in on his BMW obsession:)

[@RickTheSpud]

[@sandman2b]

Another wonderful review, albeit limited by the amount of time you had with the car. Did an Englishman really just apologize for it being too sunny?

[@coltoncleveringa8004]

Great review Sir Pete! This is a lot more car then I’d ever need I think. Definitely a very fancy car and package.

[@PetrolPed]

It really is!

[@CASFAN]

I don’t mind the looks personally. Sure the lights are different, but they aren’t offensive. The problem I have with it is that BMW are still working their EV cars to their legacy platforms. Sure I understand why, as it keeps cost down etc, but when you don’t have a huge V8 up front, is there really a need for such a huge front end? I suppose these are the challenges that multi power train type car manufacturers currently face. By their nature EVs and ICE cars have parts of their power trains in very different places, so using the same shell/design for both is always going to lead to a compromised car. If build from the ground up as an EV, I’m sure the same interior and storage space could be achieved in a much smaller (and probably lighter) footprint. Then then leads to greater efficiency and range.

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video. A very nice Luxury Limo for Chauffeur's 😊

[@robertedwards1543]

What I can't get my head around is that this car 100Kw, uses the equivalent of 100 single bar electric fires in a single charge. Elderly people are frightened of the cost of heating their homes, actually at risk of hypothermia whilst their neighbours are charging their expensive EV's.. at cheap rates....using Power Stations, Gas, Oil etc running at around 40% efficiency and therefore INCREASING POLLUTION!!! Don't even consider buying a maybe affordable 10 year old E.V. Compared to a 10 year old ICE car which will be a large percentage of vehicles on our roads because the batteries will be too costly to replace. That means that over time, E.V.'s will need scrapping far sooner than ICE vehicles with obvious impact on the environment... My Range Rover P38 passes it's MOT including emmisions every year and is 28 years old.

[@HQBProductions]

Peter…this could have been Joe’s next car! A wonderful taxi and just special to ride in but only works as a private purchase when 2+ years old at 60% off list. A friend bought a 2015 730d just before the start of lockdown and traded it back in after 15,000 miles for £4500 more than he paid for it! It was wonderfully smooth and quiet but he felt like he had aged 20 years when driving it…so bought an M5 Competition instead!!😃😃😃

[@edwowen]

Its just a shame BMWs have become cars you buy DESPITE the looks, not because of them. 2.7 tonnes (before the cinema). Over £130k! Remember Brewsters millions? Buy a few of these and sell a month later, he'd have been there! 😃😃

[@fishtigua]

EV's, just City cars for City folk. Luxo Barges are great for mile-munching, not little 200 mile sprints. I'm used to doing St. Malo to Nice (just under 600 miles) in a day, not a week.

[@francoisg3500]

Evening all! Hope everyone is doing well and has a great week.

[@numbereightyseven]

The heavier a car, the smoother it'll be, regardless of suspension set-up. Rolls Royce didn't add 100kg of noise dampening just because they could; they NEEDED the car to weigh as much as the previous one, for the ride feel.

[@beatles4sale2007]

Oh dear…..it looks as if the BMW design team have been working separately on the front and rear again….it’s far too heavy, too expensive, it’ll have epic depreciation and after a few years be great value but massively expensive to run / fix…..So actually it’s basically the perfect 7 series…!

[@philipparkes5682]

Hi Ped Interesting to see how the other half may live, being driven around in this “Tour de Force” BMW. At £130k plus not going to be a dash to the showrooms. Personally does not appeal to me as I prefer to drive rather than be driven, and I do not wish to drive around in a very high priced mobile Tec lab weighing 2.7t.😥

[@mrgrumpy771]

Skoda front, Alfa rear, big, heavy, and an EV that has taken an extra 10 Tonnes of CO2 to build. Just where do they expect these things to park? This monster is not green. Interior is pretty decent if you like toys. But definitely one to avoid.

[@reinmansmith]

An absolutely lovely place to be as a passenger and no doubt a nice drive ….. but I am left wondering how much you will be able to pick this up for in a couple of years time and how a car that weighs 2.7t with that power is going to eat tyres! I suppose if you can afford £130k that’s not something you care about, but I would choke at the likely depreciation of a car like this….

[@minilite7184]

BMW styling has def gone down the pan the last 5 yrs.- so glad I bought my 3 before they changed !! - However, I reckon. the 7 is the best looking car in their range - I actually love the headlights

[@jamesenglish8639]

You can’t justify that price … ludicrous n they will sell very few at that money ….. depreciation on large BMW’s is huge . Depreciation on electric cars even bigger . Dealers won’t take them as a part ex …

[@andydonnelly8677]

I thought BMW owned Rolls Royce, so if they can make and sell the same luxury in their own cars why would anyone pay "overblown" RR prices?

[@jameschapman4824]

Great review Pete. What an eyewatering price! Does the price include indicators because they seem to be a bit of a challenge for most BMW drivers I've seen LOL

[@jamesroseby3823]

Does anyone else think car manufacturers and buyers alike have lost the plot as to why we are going electric? How many houses could the batteries of one of these monsters power when hooked up to a small photovoltaic array and emissions saved as a result? What happened to the idea of small battery powered cars for city commuting or shopping? A much more sensible use of limited resources I would have thought. 2.7T?

[@steelmagnolia666]

Absolutely love your videos Ped. Looking forward to congratulating you on 200k. Been a fan for ages!

[@alecporter1784]

Great video, maybe controversial but I like the front lights as I think they look slick and match the rear lights, I'm one of those people who can't accept the buck toothed grill, it looks OTT and lacking in style and grace

[@phillipwilliams4674]

The front end styling of BMWs these days reminds me very much of the new Skodas on the market. Does that mean Skoda have upped their game, or does it mean that BMW really need to try harder to keep ahead of the competition? Either way, I suppose you're right when you say you can't see the outside of the car when you're travelling in it.

[@ginggur17]

Hi Sir, well what can I say, it’ll always be above the 5 series for, well, sheer luxury in my opinion 💕💕💕👍🇬🇧

[@johnmull59]

Not my cup of tea at all...... but if I was in the market for a chauffeur driven car, all the kit should be in the back with minimal toys in front.🤷

For Audi and BMW test drives you are very lucky, as indeed you are for ALL the marques that you try.

[@AndrewPollard-s1p]

Why is it that the middle seat passenger is always treated so badly. Pretty sure in the old days you could seat three abreast comfortably now they all seem to be four seaters plus a half. And, still a great lump in the floor but thats ok, your other passengers can tell you what it's like in their seats!!

Amazing Short and honest review Pete as always . My personal thoughts on i7 , Having driven many different i7's especially on very Long Distances , are super efficient in every way . I used to drive Mercedes S Class for Chauffeuring way back in the naughties , I always seem to feel a bit more strongly about BMW .

Hi Pete! Enjoyed that! Agree with one of the guys on the front lights similar to those of Skoda cars, and I, like you, love the rear. Reminds me of Alfa Romeo sedans, which is a good thing. The rest is spot on for those who are in the market for these. It comes through on your video how smooth it is. Air suspension doing a great job I’d say. Cheers, Tom.

Presumably all that tech would eat into the claimed 300 mile plus range

[@solentbum]

It would make virtually no impact on range, modern electronics are very frugal. The thirsty things are seat motors, which you would use for only a few seconds, and the Aircon/heater, which will depend on personal settings. The TV , Sat Nav, etc will only use around 40 watts max.

[@gorviv529]

Great video Ped. I'm no fan of EVs, and hope we can hold them off for as long as possible, but that i7 is a beauty. But i feel this is the problem. For me, the only EVs or hybrids that I'm attracted to are from high-end brands. And considering how expensive all cars have gotten in the last decade, this feels like a massive problem for the future. Back to the i7 though, do you see yourself getting one for a longer period and journey (i.e up to Scotland and back)? Your reference to Spectre made me think of the Bond films.

[@philiplindley7384]

Having grown up in a time when my first articulated truck grossed out at 4.5 tons with a 32 ton ability, I find the numbers quite astonishing.

[@cotswoldphotographers]

Definitely not a looker but in black it’s not too bad and as you say you’re on the inside so why worry. That interior though is spectacular and probably worth the 132k 😍

One of the high class hotels near to where I work in Whitehall has a few of these and at night the headlights look like the Starship Enterprise and there is a strip light around the grill that looks rather funky.. I think I'd be happy to be in the front or the back of one of these 🙂 And a nice little route around the MOD training areas near Aldershot.. my old stomping ground.
