Why Sandy Feels "Fabulous" in the BMW i7 

It is a quick car but 65mph = 104 kph 100 mph = 160 kph so 65 to 100 mph = 6.2 seconds even a Tesla Model S plaid takes over 2 seconds I googled the times BMW i7 acceleration times in kilometers per hour 0-10 kph 0.4 s 0-20 kph 0.8 s 0-30 kph 1.2 s 0-40 kph 1.5 s 0-50 kph 1.9 s 0-60 kph 2.3 s 0-70 kph 2.8 s 0-80 kph 3.3 s 0-90 kph 3.9 s 0-100 kph 4.6 s 0-110 kph 5.5 s 0-120 kph 6.6 s 0-130 kph 7.8 s 0-140 kph 9.1 s 0-150 kph 10.4 s 0-160 kph 11.7 s 0-170 kph 12.9 s 0-180 kph 14.0 s 0-190 kph 14.9 s 0-200 kph 15.5 s

Exactly. I doubt the readout would update that fast even if the physics chk’d out. And they don’t.

Made me laugh as well.😁

SANDY admittingly is a LEAD foot.

He said he was sure.

Incredible work, priceless advise and comments.. though B M W only impresses me with their suspension. Jim

It better be for $160,000

@@Notme-tq4xs for much less you could get a model S.

You are already aware that there are enough reasons for many different car brands. For example, a BMW i7 buyer will value different things than a Tesla buyer. Accordingly, please refrain from commenting under every video, "ah but for that money I also get a Tesla ...". . Fortunately, the world does not only consist of Tesla cars.@@jimanderson4444

mmmmm....you think it is up there with a Y....they can make them but where is the profit margin???@@KDR816

The Model S is not a i7 competitor. BMW has a whole range of vehicles from a 1-series to the X7. I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make.

BMW is already KAPUT , no FRUNK , Does not Make parts Internally.

@@markplott4820 Like almost any other car manufacturer, BMW source parts from specialised third parties. E.g. transmissions from ZF. They do keep inventory of all the parts they use, you can order all of them and they have short delivery times (unlike Tesla).

@@Conservator. - BMW cant PIVOT to Superior parts or Alternate parts , if there is a Supply chain Issue. TESLA changes1000 Parts every 24H (small changes) , the BEST parts are Compiled to 100 BEST changes EVERY Month. a TESLA made in Q1 is MATERILLY Different in Q2 .

😂

Most likely not

You're very welcome!

I was thinking the same

... And put on a nicer looking grill, and given you a screen for the rear seats.

I completely agree. Sandy made no bones about the Model 3’s fit alignment issues when it first came out. As he should. But to ignore the fit and color match on that nose cap in that light only shows BMW’s ability to blitz with bling. Sandy was blitzed.

That's the angle of the light fooling you.

BMW i7 is CRAPPY , it FAILED the moose TEST.

Merrcedes failed the Moose Test with the A 30 years ago Mark Plot!How desperat are you?

Just face it Mark,Tesla is just a stinky little carcompany!

@@brunoheggli2888 I meant not just Teslas, Bruno. And tough to be stinky with no emissions.

Dealership will grape you.

Thank YOU!

Jesus wept. People have become like sheep. Acting like a frunk is some kind of a huge deal to the overall car.

Well thats not the fault of the i7 though - its a not good charging infrastructure and totally depends where you live. So you are barking up the wrong tree so to speak.

So it's a turd when you live in the US.

@@Zedilt exactly.. people really need to start watching channels like Out of Spec reviews when they go to Europe. Their charging network is great out there. Also people that are buying an i7 arent doing road trips. They are going around town in luxury and then the car gets plugged in at night.

Yes, in the U S of A !!

@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 I don’t fault BMW as a manufacturer at all . Sales people at dealerships making nice fat commissions off of unsuspecting uneducated EV buyers (in the US) is a fault. They will never divulge the crippling inept CCS joke of a charging network out there that they will encounter if the choose to travel to and from beyond their vehicles range.

I think he left Munro.

@@alphadog6970 they fired him??!!

@@jodrhhno, he left to do other things - no word yet.

All current BMW EVs have the same motor-type.

The Rivian is Sandy's personal vehicle, the Lightning is a company truck!

The frunk in such car ... what for? An extra sport bag? Plastic supermarket bags? Items can be delivered at home, or in a bigger car well-off people have. To store Walmart coupons maybe?

@@user-nu1vn3yy9s We put our groceries in our Model Y frunk. Super convenient for us as we pull in our garage and the house door to unload is right there. Like Sandy said BMW has a lot of wasted space in the engine area. This car needs to be engineered better.

Jesus wept. People have become like sheep. Acting like a frunk is some kind of a huge deal to the overall car.

@@brucedaar Lol the engineering on this car is incredible. You think that a frunk is the be all and end all? No. Oh and these large automakers have to take into account ICE in their equation as BMW has done here with the i7. What Tesla fanboys don't take into account is that Tesla has no ICE market it has to account for. Legacy makers (a silly term) HAVE to account for ICE and make a conversion over time to.

@@JohnnyZenith Time for BMW to get off rear ends and start keeping up with state of the art engineering. No reason for a car costing over 110k to have wasted space. Sandy is right on point. No excuse for this engineering failure.

You beat me to it. That front end is butt ugly.

Nonsense.

Coming soon!

An EV powertrain is also about quietness and smoothness, perfect for many vehicles and especially a luxury car.

This car isn't making profit so what does it matter?

@@jamesfynnhere6983 they make profit out of it, or they wouldn't have a business. They don't make a profit, when they include the total cost of research and development hours spent in the model. But they could actually be absorbed along the years through different models.

@@scott8919 luxury means also exclusivity and range. Part of the reason, why BEV luxury cars, have more success in China, where is a Governmental pressure towards BEVs, to reduce Oil imports. Check some of USA and UE summits. Full of luxury ICE and Hybrid limusines. So range is still an important factor.

@@RogerM88 Your logic is lacking. No one has made luxury EV's at profit, besides Tesla. Prove me wrong... Ford, Lucid and Rivian etc. are making massive losses on every EV they sell, other companies don't break down their EV profit/loss sheets separately.. Because I7 is going to make losses doesn't stop ICE BMWs profit, so how exactly would they "not have a business" in 2023? An I7 will never make profit, traditional car makers are far too inefficient.

This car will be used by VIPs, they don't really need a frunk + the size of the car makes the trunk big enough. If they will have to carry more luggage of stuff - they will get it delivered or rent a second car/van with another driver

This is the same sort of cop-out you get with no rear window wiper needed.

@@KDR816 speak for yourself

@@KDR816 The points you made about Tesla before doesn't make sense. Reducing the hood/nose would alter the look of the vehicle, the safety characteristics and aerodynamics. Tesla Model 3/Y don't even have long hoods to begin with. I don't know why it's so hard to imagine that people might need extra storage in a pinch. I've completely filled my car multiple times and extra space would have been nice. Such as when picking up multiple people from the airport, helping people move, or going camping. It would also be nice to store bulky things for emergencies that you don't want getting abused in the trunk like emergency blankets /coats or something. Also good for extra material storage if you work from your car. And for people who say this is a luxury car, rich people don't need the space: well I've seen people use newer luxury cars for doing Uber/Lyft and certainly it would be easy to fill up if you get multiple people from the airport. I would also add that not having to worry about fitting all of your things is a luxury in and of itself.

@@KDR816 my original point is that it's a cop out by manufacturers. I suspect the real reason manufacturers don't do it is because they don't want to incur the extra cost of engineering it that way, not because people don't use frunks. To them it's just easier to throw all of the components under the hood and not try to optimize for space. It's not a deal killer to me just seems like a disingenuous claim by makers. Even if you want a just want a smaller nose on your car, the manufacturers will have to try to compact the system, and some manufacturers don't even try to.

I'm thinking a rumble seat for your butler so he can keep your champagne flute topped up.

Damn, ripped off

The Saint Great Elon, His Majesty the King of Mars and Prince of defunct Twitter. Amen.

From Memory, his wife has the Rivian. Sandy got the F150 Electric lightning. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers.

Speak for yourself.

​@@JohnnyZenithI am, and for everyone else who thinks it's ugly. It looks like it snorted all the coke at the party with those nostrils

Yes, I was thinking the same about the model Y. Model 3 looks good, but Y makes me to ask Why.

He does own a Rivian R1T

@@MunroLive you wouldn’t know that by listening to this video. He said he has a Ford Lightning and no mention of Rivian.

Tesla Autopilot computer is way more complicated, and can have serious bugs in software as it is being changed all the time. And Model 3/Y screen on the right from the driver will ruin people's necks over time.

What nonsense. They only get better. Like most automakers.

​@@user-nu1vn3yy9show is teslas Autopilot computer complicated lol

And it would have been sold for 1/5 of what it cost to produce.

@@jamesfynnhere6983 Lucid is starting still obviously, but it's not like they are casting their drivetrain from 24 carat gold. It's over engineered for a bland sedan, but not for a 150K sedan.

@@Cloxxki They can't sell it themselves for even close to a profit, selling it to BMW for a markup wouldn't help the economics.
