The 2023 BMW i7 Is an Amazing Ultra-Luxury $130,000 Electric Sedan

I was in the market for a sedan. The BMW i7 is a total length of 212 inches which is a little too long for me since my garage isn’t that deep, so I went with a 2012 Honda Civic instead

I bought the gas model (760i) about a month ago and I just love it! At first, I wasn't sure about the grill, but it's grown on me. I got the crystal headlamps as well and if you're going to buy one of these, it's a must have (they're so pretty). The exterior is really nice but what sets this car apart is the interior. My previous car was a 2017 750i and this is just light years beyond that. I loved my 750i when I bought it, but BMW has really stepped up their game. I went to the dealership anticipating on purchasing the Mercedes S class, but once I compared both, there was no way I wasn't going to buy the BMW. It's just a beautiful car. The TV in the back is my only real criticism. It's very nice for the passengers in the back but I don't like how it blocks the rear-view mirror. I tend to use that a lot more than my side mirrors and when the TV is down, you can't see anything out of the back. I would like in a software update for the rear camera to enable when the TV is down so the driver can easily see out of the back while driving. One other thing is the vent system. I personally like the air blowing cold right at me during the summer but without the full vents, you really don't get that anymore. It still cools the car, but I really like feeling the air on my face and you don't get that sensation with this design. Still, I give it a solid 9.5/10. Best car I've ever owned!

[@Pranking]

Completely agree, the crystal headlights are a must have! I work at a BMW dealership, I have a remedy for you that might help. Down on the center console there’s a little “P” button with a camera on it as well, press that while driving & it’ll enable the rear-parking camera even if you’re driving forwards.

0:35 Big Doug finally got his hands on a Maserati MC12 to review! Can't wait for that one (meanwhile I'll polish up the nice MC12 1 to 18 scale model I have)

20 years ago we had the 2003 7 series with the revolutionary bangle butt design. BMW gets frisky from time to time and I think it’s needed to shake up the industry.

[@AndrewTSq]

I am sensitive to laggy displays, so those door-panels is better if they remove . other than that it looks like a really impressive car.

[@raidzor5452]

Strongly agree! Almost all modern cars stuff their interiors full of screens that end up looking like glued 12 year old android tablets.

It is actually.

[@tsultrim7266]

as beautiful as this car is, just watching you detail all those “touch bar buttons” just makes me imagine the nightmare of a headache they will cause if one goes out. one thing i love about my 2011 5 series is the button layout and knob that is available. sad to see that manufacturers think the new way is touchscreens and touch bars. think about the mac book with the touch bar lol. after about a year they were basically useless and had a lot of issues not allowing people to use buttons

[@pepelaugh4091]

His constant inconsistency with scoring is really annoying at this point.

[@kylek762]

100% should have been a 10 in features. Doug says he reserves a 10 for new groundbreaking tech and I think this car absolutely has that. The unique doors, the screens on the rear doors for controls, a 31 inch rear screen, and the interior security camera just to name a few. No one else is doing it like this.

[@jouhajohnny]

@@kylek762 Yeah for real

[@BLX187]

he didnt score it 10?

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

I’m not a screen hater. With all the new features, you need a multipurpose screen to fit all the options. But climate control, seat adjustment and basic stereo controls should absolutely remain as physical buttons and knobs. I don’t want to have to scroll through 5 menus to turn down the volume because my Pandora went from Smoke On The Water to I Cum Blood.

[@slowanddeliberate6893]

[@jonathansefcik473]

He's given Rolls Royces and a few other cars 10s for features. Maybe his standard is getting higher because cars in general are packing more features.

[@TheCarDemotic]

I think that augmented reality thing is something that’s plausible in the future of cars. Imagine if something like that could project on your windshield like current day HUDs. It would be like a video game

Or you could just look out the windscreen at the real world.

[@SGTStubble]

Its like a concept car come to real life, tech is totally cool. Love the crystals and triangles, not sure why, but I like them. The fold down screen is inspired and wonderful, and the touch screen rear door controls, fab idea. Totally dig this car

[@Drewbydrew]

One quirky feature that was missed: from the passenger-side back seat, you can use your screen to fold down the seat in front of you, which turns a little ledge on it into a footrest and raises it up a little, and recline your seat so you have the ultimate back seat theatre experience.

[@Thesmokedon]

I’ve had the last 3 generations of the sclass and now this i7 has me debating wether to get the s580 or this. They killed it on this car!

The problem with the styling is the proportions of the front. Those tiny narrow running lights next to that gigantic grille. They sould have merged the headlights and the running lights/blinkers together

[@xKatrinaMacx]

Really curious how the rocker panel sensors will handle snowy climates considering ice does attach to them on slushy roads

[@Real_MisterSir]

Most likely they will handle it by... well, not handling it. Simply cease to function properly. That tends to happen with these types of sensors in colder climate if ice buildup covers them. Then again, if the weather is so cold that your door handle sensors are covered in frost/ice/snow/grime, you most likely wouldn't be trusting those sensors with the protection of your door opening in the first place. All this aside, I'd wager 95% of 7 series owners wouldn't park their cars outside for such things to become serious issues in the first place, covered or indoor parking even on trips is where you tend to see them.
