MotoMan attempts to answer the question: What makes an M Car? He does so by driving a BMW that has more power than most cars from BMW’s M division and is as fast, but is not badged as an official product of BMW M GmbH. So what exactly is the BMW i7 M70?

@igrvks 5 месяцев назад

@@daronkendrick Yeah I will be also looking for these flagship models as second hand before they turn too old, but at some point those massive screens are going to look so ridiculously outdated. I think they should just start shipping cars with universal device holders and provide companion apps so these vehicles would be little bit more timeless.

At nearly $170k MSRP, it makes me wonder how much breathing room they have left for the Alpina ... Unless of course they're planning to turn the B7 into a Maybach competitor with a stretched wheelbase and everything. I'm with you on the cashmere/leather combo. They should've did it like the RR Velar.

@unfathomable1876 5 месяцев назад

There will be no alpina for this generation, and possibly future generation 7 series.

@MotoManTV 5 месяцев назад

Good point . . . In some areas of the market, there seems to be no cap and OEMs playing in that arena are constantly testing those boundaries. In other areas, mainly mass market brands trying to move up, have fallen flat. Example: Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

I'm not an EV guy, but the i7 makes the most sense as the base 50 model. If you truly wanted a "sports EV", wouldn't you just go for Porsche? Save the money and go all in on the luxury (and range). The 19" wheels will ride better and the non-M body brings it (slightly) more in line with Rolls Royce.

@cbotten106 5 месяцев назад

The AWD of the next model up might be beneficial to some. But this M70 is pure flex/peacocking nonsense, imo.

Can you start doing videos on more varied cars? I feel like we’ve seen every iteration of electric German car but they all seem the same besides for small differences. Still watch every video

@MotoManTV 5 месяцев назад

Hi Michael! Appreciate you watching and the feedback. As you may have see, we do feature a range of cars on the show, however when we step away from German, fast, expensive (ICE or EV), views are significantly lower. Would love to try more and varied cars, but there needs to be an ROI.

@JMagic21824 5 месяцев назад

Great video, as usual, MotoMan! While this isn't my cup of tea, I appreciate what it is. I agree, that manufacturers should at least have *one* vehicle in the lineup with the driving dynamics (or close to) of their "flagship" products. Put it in the 60-70ish grand range so normal people can realistically afford it - whether new or used - and enjoy it. The "look what we can do when there is no budget" thing is great, but keeps the good stuff out of reach for the rest of us!

@RoyalDudeness 5 месяцев назад

Normal people can't afford a 60-70k car. A car this price range cost you easy 1000 bucks a month. The median household income in the US is 75K p.a.

That seat fabric material looks like some kind of psychedelic sixties poster on this video, it appears to be moving/changing. So Huggy Bear on an acid trip. I think BMW pulled the price out of a hat because it bears no relation to the xdrive60's price. $45,000 for upgrading the rear motor and inverter? The "M" badge carries a very high price, indeed.

The US market continues to get short-changed when it comes to BMW, safety features, and options. Starting for the 2024/2025 BMW Model Year, particularly X5, X6, X7, and the new 5 and 7 Series, the new 4 Series, the US market will no longer get fully adaptive LED headlights, which means your LED headlights will no longer turn left or right when you turn the steering. Also, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), ranked the 2024 and 2025 BMW LED headlights as awful because they are not as bright and there is a lot of glare in them, making them terrible. The high beam is practically useless. What is going on with BMW? Has raised the prices by about 35%, but it keeps cutting corners. Can someone shine a light here? Seriously? The lights are safety factors.
