@rg6982 Год назад

Never been a massive fan of the 7 series but this has hands down changed the interior game! Love the classy touches and the screen at the back, most definitely would consider one

@Deandunbar Год назад

I think that if the previous beautiful 7 series cars didn't exist then this would be OK. I loved when every item on BMWs and Mercedeses had a purpose, now they just keep adding toys screens and bling and highly patterned leather in the seats and Las Vegasy lights and touches to keep their buyers from getting bored. It is a business after all and it's working for them.

@purwantiallan5089 Год назад

The i7 imo looks cool. Although not eye catchy.

@virtual-adam Год назад

Love the tech in new cars, but I wonder how long it will last before it needs endless trips to the dealer for expensive diagnostic fault finding. Then huge bills for new tyre pressure modules etc. Well made electronics can last decades, but will they use quality stuff that lasts past the warranty period?

@TermlessHGW Год назад

Most likely not. Depending on the brand but they all started using as cheap as possible and charge more for their products. Especially cars after covid are not put together as well as before.

@leeeinfield Год назад

That’s why these are lease machines duh

@virtual-adam Год назад

@@TermlessHGW Its a shame as they will end up in scrapyards. I like to look after my vehicles and keep them, getting too hard to fix them now as you need specialist equipment to access the ECU to run the diagnostics. The old scan tools just wont work. Not great for the environment loads of cars being dumped after only a few years, then a load more resources needed to make a new one. When a car company decides to charge a subscription for heated seats you know things are going downhill.

@reubenmadiah7786 Год назад

The styling of the new 7’s has grown on me strangely. And the interior is amazing

@alexanderstefanov6474 Год назад

The interior seems impressive on the surface. Personally I find it too blingy and if recent BMWs are any indication, half of it won't be working in 10 years time.

@snbala Год назад

I saw one in the flesh the other day and it isn’t bad at all. It has presence and looks different. If you want something normal and boring looking, then get an A8. I think it will grow on people like the Chris Bangle 7 series did from back in the days. I really hate EVs of any sort but as a BMW fan, I can make a small exception. I would have a 7 series over an S class and A8. I think it’s great.

@ws1814 Год назад

Hey Rory, Does the touch screen allow for multiple input gestures? In the off chance the front passenger and driver wish to change their climate control simultaneously, will the infotainment allow for this - compared to traditional analogue dials?

@AutoTraderTV Год назад

I think the new 7 series definitely looks awkward in lighter colours, but my god, in the right colourway it's stunning. BMW has done a lot in recent years to push the status quo on design, love it or hate it at least they're trying

@Fc-cb3tn Год назад

Black is good. It's then you won't see most of the design features and that grille.

@TD1237 Год назад

It looks amazing. Seriously, I love these boId designs, despite what others think

@SiddharthaKS1983 Год назад

In my opinion it feels like they have built it on a Rollce Royce Ghost and then slimmed it to make it a BMW. The tech is sufficient but it still falls behind the range offered on an S-class.

@rcauthen324 Год назад

@ricequackers Год назад

I can't deal with the front, but the profile is way sharper than the blob-like EQS and actually looks like a luxury saloon. Just put the damn buttons back, even capacitive buttons aren't good enough! I'm hoping the next 5 series/i5 will have a more conservative and restrained version of this design.

When you drive it who cares about the outside, at least it is different and noticeable. But what I find worrying is the lack of proper buttons for critical items like the hazard warning switch. Would not consider having one, too big, but wouldn't mind being chauffeured in one.

@TD1237 Год назад

No heads up display in the UK, so I won't be swapping my current BMW 7 series anytime soon. I much prefer physical buttons and dials which are easy to use whilst driving. No diesel or petrol only variant means this car is now £100k+ in all models which is very expensive. The Mercedes S Class looks a very good alternative

I guess I’m an oddball, because I love the aggressive look of the 7 Series. I’m also one of those that love the big grille on the 4 Series. Both great looking vehicles.

@marcoszambrano7287 Год назад

I want to believe, I need to believe that the only front seat you can control from the back is the passenger seat, at least while driving. In general a fun car, but the kind of fun that limits with eccentric. And I reckon a car that will depreciate massively in a short period of time.

So this is what modern car design has come to? You can even look at it for 5 second and see 5 unwanted pieces and breaks in the design. We are nowadays forced to like a car design and let it grow on us. Whereas you could see a 3 series back in the day for 10 second and fall in love with it for the rest of your life. Sad
