THE MOST HI-TECH CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer finds the new BMW 7 Series and i7 to be exceptionally luxurious and technologically advanced, particularly highlighting the "insane" 31-inch 8K cinema screen in the rear as a standout feature, calling it "pretty much the best bit of technology we’ve got our hands on in any car… EVER!". The interior quality is praised, with materials feeling more premium than competitors. However, the exterior design, especially the large grille and split headlights, is noted as controversial, though the reviewer concedes it looks aggressive and suits the car's target market in China. The i7 60 offers impressive performance with 544hp and a claimed 388-mile range, achieving a 0-60 mph time of 4.37 seconds. The petrol 7 Series 760, while slightly quicker to 60 mph (4.04 seconds), is deemed less suited to the luxury limousine ethos due to its engine noise and gear changes. Annoyances include the overly complex climate and regen controls buried in the infotainment system and the reduced rear visibility when the rear screen is in use. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer strongly recommends the i7, especially in the two-tone paint scheme, for its silent, effortless, and luxurious cruising experience, deeming it superior to the petrol variant for this segment.
