THE 2023 BMW I7 JUST CHANGED THE GAME FOR ULTRA LUX EVS

EV Channels Review

The 2023 BMW i7 is presented as a groundbreaking ultra-luxury electric sedan, sharing its chassis with the Rolls-Royce Ghost. The reviewer highlights its immense size, powerful 536 hp powertrain, and a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds, though emphasizes that performance is secondary to its luxury features. Key attractions include Swarovski crystal headlights, self-opening doors with safety sensors, and a cavernous trunk. The interior boasts exceptionally comfortable rear head pillows, a 300-mile estimated range, and a standout $10,000 32-inch rear theater screen with integrated Fire TV and HDMI. The reviewer praises the customizable ambient lighting, the iDrive 8 system, digital key plus functionality, and the premium Merino leather-wrapped steering wheel. Advanced features like voice-activated controls (Hey BMW), a 4K camera system with 3D rendering, and impressive self-parking capabilities are also noted. The driving experience is described as nimble and surprisingly agile for its size, with excellent ride quality and an optional Bowers & Wilkins audio system lauded as potentially the best ever heard. The reviewer concludes that the i7 excels in both comfort and sportiness, leaning heavily towards luxury.
