BMW is going left field so fast. BMW 7 and X7 are hideous and remind me of horrible automotive design from the 90s. The 3 series also looks horrid compared to the pre-facelift in 2022 which then was amazing. They’re pushing so hard on less buttons and a single pane of glass for screens, it looks horrible compared to the last gen’s digital display cockpit and separate infotainment display. You loose the sense of being in a ‘driver’s cockpit’ with separate displays and modest amount of physical buttons. It’s especially out of place for a sedan. At this point, I appreciate more Audi’s separate displays, including a driver’s cockpit design. BMW’s latest designs are too radical, loose practicality and refinement, and cause controversy for their attempt at forcing people to pay extra or subscribe for heated seats, which budget cars include for free- outright scandalous. It seems many US state legislatures (notably New Jersey) are getting ready to prohibit this practice of subscriptions for hardware already included. Rant over.

27:45 For such a large vehicle the space in the rear doesn't seem to be more than in a regular short wheel S class for instance. Sure, due to the forward moving passenger seat you can create more space for one person but then nobody can sit in the front. I think for a normal executive vehicle in the luxury class a long wheelbase S class or previous 7 series offers still more legroom for 2 passengers in the rear than the new BMW. It's sort of a hybrid, more space than in the previous 7 series regular version but less than in the longer version.

I like it. Interior material and build quality seems impeccable and well above the A8 and S Class. I like the interior design. It's looks luxurious and special. The new S Class doesn't look very special or luxurious. The previous gen W222 interior was a hit and looked amazing even today it still does. Mercedes pioneered the side by side screens and now everyone has copied it even BMW. But now Mercedes has moved away from it and their interiors look worse now. They should've just refined it like everyone else has and make the bezels thinner and screens larger. Curve it maybe and make it freestanding.

I haven't seen the car in person, but if we forget about the front for a second - I have to admit that this car has one of the most soulless design for the dashboard and rear end. Like, the design of the dashboard is a giant mix of boring different colored materials. Then the steering wheel lacks any bmw sport style. Looks like a xbox part. Then to the boring design of the dashboard behind and on the right side of the screens. The overkill with the software, the screens on the doors, the 3 ways to open a door. This car is a lifeless technology behemoth. Then, there is the back - it does not reassemble any BMW style at all. Gone is the sleek ass the beemers were famous for. Now we get that formless, Nicki-Minaj-style bulky ass, with lights resembling a Hyundai. This very car is an 1 sentence: technological and design massive overkill. Last word about the design - I think the designers made the same mistake as clothes designers - who often go too far and introduce ridiculous outfits. But this time for a car.

Auch toll, dass nun endlich nach Volvo ein weiterer Hersteller auf hochwertige Stoffsitze setzt. Auf der Straße sieht der 7er auch noch mal besser aus als auf den Bildern.

Those door closing buttons are awful. I just watched another review from a US auto journalist, and while demonstrating the capacitive AC vent open/close control, he accidentally swiped on it a bit too much and activated the door close button. That is TOTAL ergonomic failure by BMW. There either should be more distance between the door close button and any other control, or the door button should have been a physical button that requires a firm click down on it to activate, to avoid accidental activation, and not a capacitive control. It baffles me how such glaring design flaws make it past testing and into production.

I wish you could choose between this one and a more classic looking cockpit, the long digital displays just don't give a real luxury feeling for me.

I think BMW did the right thing placing the LCD planels on the doors - one for each passenger. I guess LCD displays are cheaper and more practical than physical buttons. I agree with you that the seats should ALWAYS have system redundancy with hard controls.

They're a century old & antiquated, why do you think BMW introduced iDrive twenty years & 8 generations ago? E38 dash was compared to NORAD defense station, so many damned buttons yet nowhere near enough to,operate this vehicle, buy a 2002.

This new design language is so über the top that… that I actually like it. I like the unapologetic full-on, not half-assed (like the new M4) in your face look. Good for BMW to take some bold design risks unlike the other Germans.
The paintwork quality makes Tesla paintwork look like it was done at kindergarten!!

The exterior design is great, albeit polarising. In recent years, I think Mercedes has had a clear lead here and is just disappearing loudly into arbitrariness. BMW, on the other hand, is getting more and more right from model to model, and even though I'm not a 7 Series buyer, I would have considered switching from the E-Class to a 5 Series Touring with this design. If it wasn't for the OS8 control system. It's a great, sophisticated system when stationary, but for a car in this price range, such a touch-only control system is not appropriate. This is the same mistake as Mercedes & Audi. I don't buy such a thing.

This car's headlights feel like the spiritual successor to the pop up headlights. Looks like they wished they could only use the top part for all lighting purposes, but the technology is not there yet. The lower lights are kind of hidden, blacked out, only there because they are needed, in a way just like pop up headlights. Also the stitching on the sensatec seats, both the black and light one, is not straight at all... are these prototype cars?

Excellent, informative review. As always. I’m curious enough to HK yo BMW’s website. Strange, but the interior already looks dated with the long prop up screens, especially compared to the 2024 E Class. But NVH is important to me so I’m going to check this out further.

Lots of stuff that seems very tacky to me. Two tone paint is a cliche which never looks good on modern vehicles and just seems like a way to try to distinguish your expensive car from the other models. Matte paint still looks like a home spray paint job to me regardless of how "in" it might be. Illuminated kidney grill might be the worst of all and personally I think the interior lighting looks terrible too (maybe better in person but I just can't help thinking of plastic toys or christmas tree lights). I also think the front looks odd on cars with the black grille surrounds and black around the bottom vents etc, like the bottom half of the car is missing (shows up especially on the white car at the start of the video). Only one that looks good to me is the light grey with chrome grill.

It feels like BMW takes one step forward and 2 steps back. It's OBVIOUS that this car has the road presence of a Rolls Royce - which they obviously also build. While I like the road presence and can stomach that front facia, I'm no fan of the gawdy crytal interior pieces. MERCEDES BENZ in their S-class (and everything else) plays it safer and looks far more upscale inside and out. The Skylounge display is a huge gimmick. Definitely a cool gimmick, but unless you're being chauffered around while watching MSNBC so you can move stocks around in manhattan traffic - I have to wonder who this is for? Dual headrest displays work best for rear seat passengers who'll get to CHOOSE WHAT THEY EACH WANT TO WATCH. Dual headrest monitors are further recessed from them as they sit back there. I want to experience the i7 when my dealer gets one BUT I WOULD NEVER CHOOSE a 7 SERIES over a MERCEDES S-class. I've driven the Mercedes EQS and the EQS SUV. I honesly don't like the EQS and would prefer they'd done what BMW did and simply make an EV out of the S-class. I've also driven both the BMW i4 and the BMW ix. I like the iX for its interior space, but the minimalist interior is boring for those prices north of $100,000.

So they charge you 12kUSD extra for the option to hide the grille in black two tone paint. BMW presenting the solution to the problem (read: eye strain) they caused. Genius. Which us too bad because other than oversized nostrils I like this silhouette better than whatever melted plastic / Apple Magic Mouse they call the EQS.

I LOVE it, everything about it I love that grill I love the two-tone, black and wine paint color, I love the separation of the lights. I literally love everything about the score of course I’m a huge fan of German engineering but I would take Audi or Mercedes before BMW may be until this car. Currently own an 2019 A8L. And I would probably take the electric over the petrol.

It seems on the I7 they missed a trick by failing to open up the leg space for the right rear passenger. They should have removed the cells in the floor there and move them somewhere else. There SHOULD be plenty of space in such a long EV. Imagine how deep your feet would fit under a well designed front passenger seat...
