The most hi-tech car I've ever driven!

Meet the most luxurious, hi-tech cars BMW has ever released - the new BMW 7 Series & BMW i7! Mat’s flown over to America to get his hands on these two luxurious limos to give them a full-blown, proper in-depth review!
Let’s start with a look at the design. One thing’s for sure, from the back and the side, there’s no hiding that this is clearly a 7 Series. Sure there have been a few design upgrades over the previous generation, but the side and rear profile are quite clearly in the traditional 7 Series mold.
But of course, it’s up top where things get interesting, with an absolutely massive double kidney grille that dominates the front end. Combine this with the split headlight design on either side, and you've got yourself one car that will definitely turn heads!
Once you step inside, you are treated to a cabin absolutely full of high-quality materials, including leather & carbon on the dash, soft-touch felt on the roof, and super comfortable cashmere seats. You’ll also find the same swooping infotainment screen as in the new iX.
But of course, the main feature of this interior is the huge 31-inch 8K cinema screen in the back! This thing is absolutely insane, and when you combine it with the ability to fully recline the seats in the back, there’s no denying that this is pretty much the best bit of technology we’ve got our hands on in any car… EVER!
When it comes to performance, the range-topping BMW i7 60 comes with two electric motors to deliver 544hp and 745Nm of torque. It comes with a 102kWh battery pack that’s good for a claimed range of 388 miles. As for the BMW 7 Series, it comes with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers an almost identical 544hp and 750Nm.
As for the price, the 7 Series starts at £102,000, while the i7 starts at £108,000. But are they both worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

I can't explain how much I hate manufacturers hiding every single option in the infotainment system instead of just having buttons for the most used things...It's just as distracting if not more distracting to fiddle with the infotainment system than it is to use your phone while driving...

I'm probably part of the last generation of people that found buttons in cars so satisfying and easy to use. Now, you have to take go through like 5 different menus just to access one feature that would you would press a button for.

[@gokhant.450]

Thats actually good. It means how accessible the function is like how specific you want it to be

[@drxym]

Buttons, dials, levers etc perform an important safety function. You instinctively learn where they are and don't need to take your attention away from the road. They also unambiguously do something and provide a positive response to that effect. While there are things that can be pushed into the infotainment system there are red line items that should never be - wipers, volume, aircon, indicators, headlights, full/dipped beam, cruise control and some other stuff. And neither should they be replaced with haptic style buttons. Unfortunately some manufacturers, especially Tesla don't know when to stop and their cars are actually dangerous from it - witness the Model 3 which relegates wiper speeds to the dashboard which has caused crashes, or the new Model S that has a ridiculous flight yoke style steering wheel. But even the likes of VW are using junk haptic controls and for the life of me I don't get it.

[@eSKAone-]

Just speak with it dude 💟

[@Baujahr90erAG]

Well, looking at it logically, for some functions, physical buttons are superior. For instance, climate control… thos digital buttons are not tactile and are very distracting.

Accounting for inflation, car prices have BARELY increased in the last few decades. So, with all the added safety features, comfort and technology, it's a pretty amazing deal. Also, I wouldn't want the house that you can get for $108,000.

[@spiralnapkin]

As a matter of fact, I just Googled it. In 1998, the 7 series cost about $71,000, which equates to $129,000 in today's money. This new gas 7 series is about 108,000 British pounds with options, which equates to $132,000 American. I was more right than I even realized.

That's pretty interesting. (most) traffic lights here in mexico do this from 11pm to 5am so everything turns to a 4 way intersection.

While the front styling is polarizing, this example is the best version. Dark color, hides the lower headlamps so you really notice the upper lamps. It's not hideous in this guise, but acceptable. The interior is gorgeous though

[@bertrandronge9019]

I understand the frustration about having so many stuffs in the menu... at the same time, the thing is that you have so many stuffs. Think about this, in the beginning you only have the pedals, the gear level, the steering wheel, the swippers and the headlights. Then we got ventillation and heating. So we put it in the middle. Then we got the electric windows, we put on the side. Then we had music and radio, we added them in the middle. Then GPS, it started to be a bit more complicated. Then cruise control. And now you have so many features in that particular car that the complexity of the interface is in the end, just a result of the incredible amount of features and settings the car offer you. Isn't that funny that this complain is actually us complaining that we have too many features ?

[@ChokyoDK]

I love the design of the i7, particularly this i7. I've also changed my mind on the kidney grille of the M3 / M4, as long as it's blacked out.

[@TheJohnboyhunter]

The grille on this seems wider though. It doesn't look like it's got buckteeth.

[@IanD-ut4dy]

@@TheJohnboyhunter True. There are some cracking aftermarket mods for the slimmer kidney grille on the M cars. I have a company car as it stands, but a few years down the line I'll be buying an M3, so those aftermarket mods will come in handy.
