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.

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.

But when it stains/gets dirty then its much harder to clean (things absorb into the fabric) unlike Leather seats.

[@drhanifp]

@@theweeknd2725 agreed, fabric is lovely material, very comfortable to sit and touch but pain in the arse when you spill your coffee.

[@adamthompson4072]

Isn't bmw offering wool seats on these?

[@reabetswethipe2190]

That gigantic display in the rear seat is absolutely gorgeous. BMW really came fighting with the current 7 Series. Too bad the exterior is not that great but that is a small complaint.

[@EkeluoChukwuogor]

If you buy an i7 and find a rock thingy under the hood, now you know where it came from. 👀

[@hiimhungrysteek5870]

Very nice car. People are complaining but like new M3/M4 when you see one in person you will fall in love. The 7 looks a bit like Rolls Royce tho.

[@badenbaden166]

М3 have big performance and big air cooled for engine. This grill for i7 look like a fake.

[@Superzesh101]

The car looks amazing. First time I think I'd choose a 7 series over a s-class...not that I could afford either lol

The thing about BMW designs is that everybody hates them first, then it starts to grow on people)) The two tone dark version looks pretty impressive. With the proper rim style and proper color, this car looks good.

[@SaturdayIsMyBae]

This design however i instantly love, same with the new m2

[@koshivlogsss]

Bro this is insane. ❤️ 😳

The more I see these high tech cars the more I like my 2001 Toyota Tundra with manual windows and AM/FM radio. I've been in IT for 30 years and for some reason I prefer my cars to be no/low tech.

[@purwantiallan5089]

[@tgscheepers]

If you have to black out details or a car to make it look acceptable, there’s something seriously wrong with the design of the car.

[@fartloudYT]

You are either blind or you are the guy who designed it.

[@acctv1]

After 10-15 years, those hi-tech things will look primitive like a 2000's computer... A car like this never will be considered classic. And yes, a E21 from '80s are looking much better. That's my oppinion, but who cares about that...

[@hikingjoe4752]

You’re so right about that. And this stuck on screen in the front already looks like no one gave a thought about this once.

[@2006gtobob]

@Massimo Hack shit box 😀...... intresting

[@saigaikwad415]

@Massimo Hack and how does that make a difference? I agree that it's not a very good looking car, but I don't understand how that means it can't be compared to the direct competitor, there are many other categories that make a car a proper car, not just looks.

[@saigaikwad415]

@Massimo Hack the M3 doesn't look that good from the front either, does that mean it shouldn't be compared to the RS5 and C63s? not only does it compare to them, it beats them in driving dynamics and handling.

[@Radiation580]

@Massimo Hack 7 Series > S class > A8

BMW have done very well on the 7/i7 series. Unlike the s class, there was no wow moment when first saw and the the quality of materials makes it feel cheap.

I like that giant widescreen but isn’t it gonna block most of the drivers rear view mirror or does it also have the virtual rear view. Would be cool if it automatically switched to camera view when the screen goes down
