The 2023 BMW i7 Is an Amazing Ultra-Luxury $130,000 Electric Sedan 

I was in the market for a sedan. The BMW i7 is a total length of 212 inches which is a little too long for me since my garage isn’t that deep, so I went with a 2012 Honda Civic instead

You know you did good job on front end design when your selling point is "it's not that bad on dark color car"

I love the features and tech in this car but I can’t imagine this thing after 10 years. So many damn sensors and screens must cost a fortune when one goes out.

Proof that BMW really needs to fire their design team for creating the fugliest cars of the last 5 years and refuse to wake up.

Can you imagine buying a new 7 series and in the car camera gallery there's Doug DeMuro smiling at you.

Doug's choice of Avril Lavigne - Complicated for displaying the door screen 🤣

Gotta love Doug just casually promoting Cars & Bids while standing next to an MC12

This whole car is next level, and then you see the GUI of the back seat passengers and you wonder why they hired a graphic designer from 2010 to design the menu

Never expected to come to an era where cars look and feel more and more like smartphones.

Side profiles, especially the doors, roof and the overall body silhouette takes volumes of inspiration from Rolls Royce.

You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires....,

Doug, could you incorporate drive by footage of the vehicles? I love seeing them on the road from an outside perspective. Great video btw, per usual!!

Doug is the type of guy who will sit next to you on a empty bus

Doug is always teasing us with the upcoming videos when he goes to talk about his segway to cars and bids 😂

I think I know a certain adult industry that will like the interior recording feature.

I think power doors that need a suite of sensors to open and take longer than just opening a door with your hands like a normal human are the perfect analogy of what's wrong with the car industry today. And before I get called a boomer I'm only 27 😩. Edit: i take that back, this whole car is everything I hate about the modern car industry

Doug my man how did you come up with the "V6" at 20:35 :D

I’ll probably be able to afford a used 2023 in 2033 😂

If your paying $130,000 for a car, we not worried about repair cost.

It is absolutely insane that one car company was able to made its entire model lineup unbearable to look at. That's unprecedented. Even SsangYong wasn't able to achieve this. Citroen is trying really hard too nowadays, but they just can't keep up with BMW.

Having owned a couple older 7 series cars in the past I cant imagine how fast this will depreciate after warranty and with how niche all these parts are, I cant imagine how expensive and hard to get the parts will be to fix this. Seems like it will just be disposable after 10 years.

What a beautiful MC12, cant wait for that one, maybe not till Dougcember? That's got to be a pretty good one :)

BMW took it up a level with this car

His 25-30min videos feels like a 10min short video because he knows exactly how to keep you very interested, like you can't even skip a single second

22:48 Her (2013)

This car would match nicely with my Intel Core i7-powered computer. I hope BMW will release an i9 model.

The oversized BMW grille kind of works on big cars like the 7 series and X5/7… I see it and it reminds me of how Rolls Royces and Bentleys have large grilles, which is most likely the intention.

One of those cars you can drive for years and still find options you didn’t know you had 😂

Imagine the cost of some tiny damage repairs on these

Imagine how many fault code sensors this will have in a few years. The thing I like about this car it doesn't scream flashy.

@0:01 I just see Trevor in the background on roof of dilapidated motel sniping satellite tv dishes

Dear God please help me become successful so I can have a car like this. My dream is to go on a long road trip at night with the love of my life while we bring down the tv screen in the back and watch a movie. While our driver drives us.

BMW created this 7 series exactly for Doug, so he can enjoy with quirks and features

I personally prefer the way the new 7-Series looks compared to the EQS. It definitely looks more stately than the EQS and it kind of reminds me of the 2002-2008 7-Series from the side. Of course, the controversial design queues are subdued if you get the car in a dark color and the example Doug reviewed looks pretty badass.

The cost to replace ANYTHING on this car is going to be astronomical 😂 can't even imagine

as beautiful as this car is, just watching you detail all those “touch bar buttons” just makes me imagine the nightmare of a headache they will cause if one goes out. one thing i love about my 2011 5 series is the button layout and knob that is available. sad to see that manufacturers think the new way is touchscreens and touch bars. think about the mac book with the touch bar lol. after about a year they were basically useless and had a lot of issues not allowing people to use buttons

wow the grill got bigger to cool that combustion engine in the i7 amazing

Jesus what a horror. Feels like living in a nightmare when looking back at the 7 Series of the 90s.

Really looking forward to this car depreciating right into my hands like every other 7/5 series I have ever purchased.

That car made me laugh a lot. I believe the next generation will have 50,000 microchips. Marketing guys are just going nuts with their demands.

Can’t wait to constantly take this car to the mechanics

If you'd enable the uneven road app while driving anywhere in Brazil, it would end up mapping the entire land transportation network 🤣🤣🤣 but seriously though, no matter what great suspension a car can have, you NEVER stop shaking and being jolted about while driving in Brazil. It's amazing. Uneven asphalt is the rule, you are surprised when any paved surface is actually smooth!

the front end is a face only a mother could love

Smart useless doors

I hoped you score it 10 for features ... its almost a spaceship

Another $140,000 car that will last around 65,000 miles before it “$h\ts” the bed like any other BMW. I’ll just wait 6 years and pick one of these up for $18,000k

BMW engineers in the meeting room: "let's pack as many gimmicks that are guaranteed to break as possible!"

Wasn't sure between and 2022 i7 or phantom. Already have an older i7 so might try the ryzen 7000 series for my next pc

What would it take to get a 10 in features??

This car makes the E65 look like a gorgeous car.

How does this not get a 10 for features? I love that lit up crystal looking trim, thats sick.

doesn't have any bmw classic design language at all. the thing looks like a chinese manufacturer made it lol. terrible terrible design

Hated this exterior when it was first revealed but this interior is so astounding, I would live with that front fascia in a heartbeat

no matter how nice the car or how big doug gets he will always look like he lives at his moms

I’m not a screen hater. With all the new features, you need a multipurpose screen to fit all the options. But climate control, seat adjustment and basic stereo controls should absolutely remain as physical buttons and knobs. I don’t want to have to scroll through 5 menus to turn down the volume because my Pandora went from Smoke On The Water to I Cum Blood.

Can’t wait for Hoovie to buy one of these for 10 grand in about 8 years lol

I am sensitive to laggy displays, so those door-panels is better if they remove . other than that it looks like a really impressive car.

Those doors are terribly, terribly over-engineered. The door button, auto opening, and sensors are vastly inferior (and slower for no reason) to just grabbing the door and opening it. And does anyone else find the crystal features tacky in a weird sort of early 90s way?

The fold down TV screen was pretty sick. It's not the motion of the TV but the size of it that caught my attention. Far superior than a tablet screen for sure.

$130,00 ? I 'd rather buy a new Camry and with the remainder, Influence foreign national elections all over the world...

Doug, I am so happy for your success. It's just amazing to see your growth. It's inspiring and wonderful to see. And your carsandbids etc. just brilliant. congratz.

Make sure that you have a bumper to bumper warranty at all times while you own this car. The faults on this car are going to be at an ALL time high.

Doug is the type of guy who listens to Avril Lavigne in his 130,000 $ BMW i7

a wireless charger, fluffy pillows AND cupholders? now that is quirky and featury

🏁🏁🏁🏁This BMW 7 Series is a abomination of automotive design 🤢🤮

That's the MC12 Doug posted on his Instagram few days ago.

This car is very here and now. You lease it for up to 5 years and replace it. I wonder how much it would cost to keep all these features and gimmicks from breaking once this is a 10 or 15 year old car. Probably a lot....

I am a big fan of the new 7 series, the technology is insanely impressive. I think it looks much better than the last post LCI model and the interior is gorgeous

BMW really said “we’re taking Netflix and chill on the go”

Its like a concept car come to real life, tech is totally cool. Love the crystals and triangles, not sure why, but I like them. The fold down screen is inspired and wonderful, and the touch screen rear door controls, fab idea. Totally dig this car

20 years ago we had the 2003 7 series with the revolutionary bangle butt design. BMW gets frisky from time to time and I think it’s needed to shake up the industry.

Doug is the type of guy who will carry on a conversation with the BMW voice.

I think that augmented reality thing is something that’s plausible in the future of cars. Imagine if something like that could project on your windshield like current day HUDs. It would be like a video game

I couldn’t imagine that car and all the features working after 10 years.

I’m sure all this technology will be reliable and affordable to maintain.

Great video as always. I would love to see a review of 760i to see the differences.

23:05 I really thought the doors were gonna fly open in traffic when he gave that command 😂

The fact that there's a camera inside of your car and it's taking pictures of you tells me exactly what the government wants to do with this technology.

I am so tired of everything having to be touch screens.

It’s just too much… what I appreciate about some of the other newer cars these days is the minimalism they incorporate. Just seems like a lot of excess and so many more thing things to break.

I bought the gas model (760i) about a month ago and I just love it! At first, I wasn't sure about the grill, but it's grown on me. I got the crystal headlamps as well and if you're going to buy one of these, it's a must have (they're so pretty). The exterior is really nice but what sets this car apart is the interior. My previous car was a 2017 750i and this is just light years beyond that. I loved my 750i when I bought it, but BMW has really stepped up their game. I went to the dealership anticipating on purchasing the Mercedes S class, but once I compared both, there was no way I wasn't going to buy the BMW. It's just a beautiful car. The TV in the back is my only real criticism. It's very nice for the passengers in the back but I don't like how it blocks the rear-view mirror. I tend to use that a lot more than my side mirrors and when the TV is down, you can't see anything out of the back. I would like in a software update for the rear camera to enable when the TV is down so the driver can easily see out of the back while driving. One other thing is the vent system. I personally like the air blowing cold right at me during the summer but without the full vents, you really don't get that anymore. It still cools the car, but I really like feeling the air on my face and you don't get that sensation with this design. Still, I give it a solid 9.5/10. Best car I've ever owned!

There is also an M760e xDrive with 571hp. 0-62 in 4.3 seconds. It won’t come to the US but it will come to Mexico.

I can't believe I'm saying this but the front look is kinda catching on for me. It looks decent on the X7, but on the i7 it seemed too big for the cars size, but now the i7 actually looks nice ngl

All those remote control features are a dystopian nightmare. Imagine how non-transparent is any of the multinational car manufacturers. And imagine BMW's IT security budget, considering that it's not their core business; imagine comparing it with Google, MS and other giants who make mistakes despite having multi-billion budgets to ensure security. Connecting the drivetrain and sensors to internet is a grave mistake. Or, at least there should be a physical switch to disconnect sensitive systems from the main computer.

Well, that's a shed load of needless features to go wrong 😄

Just a personal preference but I don't like the design of the interior at all. Mainly 2 things: 1) All those crystal buttons and bands around the driver and front passenger seat actually look cheap. 2) All the different function buttons splatter all around the band look cluttered/ distracting, if not overwhelming. I guess my personal preference is to have a clean, sleek, and minimalist look in the interior of a car instead of having sharp angles, crystal buttons, and function buttons displayed everywhere.

I hate the touch screen on my air humidifier... I would go mad in this car.

This is the kind of car you have to watch Doug review. Other journalists skim over all of the details that make this car interesting.

Most luxurious electric car I’ve ever seen in my life.

out of EVERY car out there, BMW takes the prize for the ugliest. I used to LOVE BMWs and owned a few, but for the past few years, their design has gone down the toilet. their product design team has really screwed up.

Those side sensors are in a very vulnerable spot. They should have utilized the top part of the B Pillar for those.

fn 20 min to get to the engine seems fitting. be like spending 20 min describing JJ Watts' kitchen backsplash and then getting to his bench press. shameless.

Interesting 🤔...I wish they'd bring the i8 back, and as a fully electric version. I absolutely love the style of the i8 I know some didn't, but I did, and ice checked they're still available to purchase, but damn it man, I'd want a new one, not used...sigh, I hate it when things come out and I'll never get one, then I can but it's no longer available, or only so many were made for the ultra rich, seriously not fair. Like I'd like to get one electric car, and I'd use the front trunk and now the companies are removing this because some people aren't using them, again sigh, I would. Damn it Jim, I'm a Doctor not a frunk user ... anyway thumbs up, I like the front looks aggressive. And I'm glad BMW is going back to a boxy shape. I had a 2001 BMW 750iL the last of the truly cool boxy BMWs, then they all went roundy as I call it. That was a best of a car.

woow Rolls-Royce need too get their game up

The problem with the styling is the proportions of the front. Those tiny narrow running lights next to that gigantic grille. They sould have merged the headlights and the running lights/blinkers together

That huge screen in the back will just give people kinks in their necks from having to look slightly to one side for an hour. It's actually not in an ideal position for either passenger. It's much better to have a smaller screen in front of you.

I’ve had the last 3 generations of the sclass and now this i7 has me debating wether to get the s580 or this. They killed it on this car!

i7 is too quirky as a luxury vehicle..! ❤️🔥 ❤️ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

I always found it incredible difficult to open and close doors. Really well thought invention. Will never fail and will always work until the end of the lifespan of the whole car. Really great.

This is the ultimate luxury sedan ,the technology is way way far ahead of its competitors, they will have to copy , job done well bmw
