I wanted to say bmw but their designs lately are very bad . Thomas when you say animal free you mean leatherette right . Because I think bmw took that too seriously with the new x3 and said here take plastic for sustainability and butchered the interior with scratchy plastic I have no problem having soft leatherette as long as it feels soft and nice but plastic in luxury cars is a crime

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWLEf42bpMano6c). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6G1f56NbtOlqNk And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKe7loOHnsSAd80 New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM More and more natural materials are rising: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIO2pIt7o9x7etE Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHCdKmCocZ5oqs For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzNdHSjppaSbqc Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. Also a group of researchers and German journalists from public media could recent directly trace the connection between car animal leather production and illegal burning down Amazon rain forest: www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/ard-story/videos/illegales-leder-video-100.html In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars. We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

I am currently driving a 2019 S63 4 door. I am not happy with the current interior quality of the new S63. It seems lower quality than what I would expect from that vehicle and price point. I have driven the S580 as a loaner when my 63 was in for service and the current S63 interior is identical to the current S580. I am leaning towards a new 760 and will test drive one this week. I did already spend time viewing the 760 at the dealer without driving. I was pleased with the interior and overall quality seems better than the current S class sedans. I am sad to be possibly leaving MB, even temporarily, but I am not happy with their current overall quality. Having owned a 2012 E350, still going strong by the way, a 2018 S65 coupe (super fun car) and my current 2019 S63 sedan. I will let you know if I end up with the 760 soon. Schwarz auf Schwarz of course!

BMW, I would not draw attention to that front grill by illuminating it. Mercwdws, the MBUX is too complicated. Bring back buttons with haptic feedback for steering wheel, seat adjustment and temperature.

I bought the 760e thinking it would be better than it’s competitors, it’s only 2 months old . I’m unsure if you know this but there’s a major recall on the car which involves taking out the dashboard and putting it back in. Please be aware before you buy one and make sure the correction is been done from factory as there’s no way the technicians can do the job as was built from factory.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks for the report! Heard about that, so whats the status there? You getting a new dashboard ?

[@Fa-uk5fb]

@@autogefuehl at the moment I’m trying to reject the vehicle or they give me a new one where it doesn’t need the dash taking out. Let’s see what they say. Otherwise the car is really nice to drive.

[@autogefuehl]

Because they cannot fit the dash? Or it takes too long?

[@Fa-uk5fb]

@@autogefuehl the problem is that the car is been built by robots on the factory. Now there is a major recall on the car which involves taking out the dashboard and putting it back in. There is no way that the uk technicians will be able to do this and I’m confident there will be rattles all over the dashboard when the work will be done. I’ve spoken to the dealer I purchased the car and he tells me to take to a local bmw dealership as I purchased the car 300 miles away. He’s only saying this as he knows his technicians won’t be able to do this job properly. I’m stuck with a car I haven’t used for over a month and paid over £130,000. It’s a 760e ultimate pack with individual seats. I’ve had problems with bmw technicians in the past where they can’t even service a car correctly. I’m not short of cars. I have a personal collection of over 40 cars including m3 cs x7 M5s RR cullinan and Ferraris alongside an lfa. So I’m not new to cars. I’ve tried to reject the vehicle and ask them to replace this for another new one which has been corrected from factory. Upto date the dealership hasn’t replied back. No one from bmw wants to take responsibility. So I’ve been sold a car which is sub standard and basically left with a lump of metal. If you google it over 1.5 million BMWs worldwide have a recall on them. 2 friends of mine ordered 2 X5’s and have now received their deposits back as they also have major recalls on them and the dealerships have no Idea when they will be corrected. I’m speaking from the uk. I’m pretty sure your country will have the same problem. Your channel has a lot of influence Maybe you can ask bmw Germany the question. It’s just not fair when a manufacturer makes a car knowing it’s not right and then they sell it on to a customer through a franchised dealer knowing that the customer will ultimately pay the price of the substandard car. There’s no quality control left with manufacturers any more. Basically make the car , sell it and let the customer tell you what’s wrong with it. By that time the customer can’t reject the vehicle. I’ve literally only done a few hundred miles on this car and took delivery one of July 2024. Thanks for your message.
