The most RIDICULOUS car in the world: BMW i7 car & tech review

Is the best BMW an electric limo? I'm tempted to say yes… join me for a full walkaround, driving and tech review of a £147,000 BMW i7, fitted with the huge 31" 8K TV, airplane-style rear seats and more gadgets than you can shake a Q at. BMW's done an incredible job on refinement too, making the i7 one of the most refined and comfortable cars I've ever driven. So get over the looks and find out why it's such a milestone…

Great video, I seen my first i7 in the wild yesterday. Looks great and different in the real world

[@TopCarsTV]

1:35 that was a hilarious joke! 😂😂

How'd he know? 🕵

[@cbotten106]

That was a very positive review. These actually look amazing on the road, I've got to say.

[@garyhuntsr71698]

thanks for all the candor...yet my wife would never take plastic for crystal

[@caroracle2658]

Awesome entertaining review Tim!

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Thank you kindly

[@albertlira7443]

What a wild car. I will say I'm surprised the rear camera does not automatically turn on when the screen is dropped and blind is deployed. You look like you had a ton of fun in that.

[@justjosh11]

Really like your videos, great content without feeling too over-produced or scripted. Still grounded. As for the car, completely tacky and ugly but I bet its bloody impressive to sit in. Still, I can't help thinking if I had £150k then I wouldn't buy this!

[@johnhaynes9910]

Much as I enjoy your channel Tim, to say that this 7 series is ugly, is rather understated, it is BMW gross on steroids. However as you were wearing your weekend shorts as opposed to your school ones, I'm glad you liked the 'toys' that came with it :)

[@paulwardzynski3265]

Tim, very interesting a car for the rich only. I've strapped a toaster and coffee maker to the front passenger seat of my car; beat that BMW!

[@TheCashman007]

As much as i like cars and tech ,i hate to even thinking what type of BS you going to face when the warranty is over and you start having electric problems with dead sensors ,pixels etc.

[@Ambienfinity]

I have seen the future and it has a telly in it! Great review of an aspirational motor.

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Thanks for watching - really appreciate it :)

[@DontPanicDear]

The E65 had a Bangled stern, now 20 years later we have the ‘challenging’ Dukec prow. Everything in between was pretty boring, so we just can’t win 🤣 The 7 might well be better, but I think Mercedes have always know the target customer better and provided and S-Class to suit. It looked bloody massive when I had a look, and in that shade looked particularly smooooth. I should have bothered you for a blast of that Hi-Fi😂

[@TheWynne71]

Great review of a bonkers BMW. Or is that the other way around….??

[@alechopkins6545]

Great reveiw, keep it up 👍🏻 What a crazy amount of tech Imagine, "sorry officer, reason for speeding was because i wanted to listen to a hans zimmerman symphony" 🤣

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Thanks! 👍 Haha yes I'm not sure that'd wash...

[@notagain2856]

Its glaringly noticeable the front bumper wasnt properly color-matched to the body. That really did my head in

[@RoscoeColtrane]

The exterior makes me think, "Boring" must be its middle name.

[@lupislune]

The interior and its gizmos are top notch! But the styling of the exterior makes it resemble a cheaply made American Chrysler 300.

[@paulgraves7949]

Now that front end is so ugly it would scare a police horse.....

[@jamesoneill5810]

I really like the looks but despise EV vehicles

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Fair enough! I think you're the first person I've heard who likes the looks. I sort of don't mind it?

[@V_Dubya]

More good stuff from the channel of automotive nonsense

[@patrickb827]

MAN! Immigrants on rubber dinghies are better dressed than you mate!! If you maxed out on your credit card for a slightly better look for your videos, especially when testing a premium car like this, new viewers might be persuaded to take you seriously

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Haha thanks for watching. You sound like a lovely chap

[@duncanstclair4063]

Dress how you like Tim! Keep doing what you do, in the way only you can. I love that you look so casual in such an expensive vehicle. Love it.

[@DontPanicDear]

@@duncanstclair4063 Exactly! Can’t all dress like Quentin Wilson.

[@duncanstclair4063]

@@DontPanicDear Indeed not Tim. Then again, who'd want to??

Patrick may wear Italian suits, but he pulls his trousers down to his ankles to have a big boy wee.
