This car is beautiful 😍 everyone hating on the grill does not remember Audi, Lexus had big grills this car is beautiful and S Class and EQS should be scared. Lots of people gonna trade in their EQs
That’s a very ugly car it’s exterior is in the league of a mix between the Pontiac Aztek, Hyundai Kona and up, Nissan juke,Rogue. BMW has lost it the interior is impressive but the looks is no where near the other luxury in vehicles in its class especially the S class who is the benchmark of full sized luxury cars. The S class was king and still king.

@@doggedlydetermined7022 yeah but the 7 series has the most bossy road presence which intimidates a Bentley and Rolls Royce,and S class w223 being ugliest s class ever designed,a8 is just overstyled,G90 is the second best when it comes to design,but the LS is overall the best package because it’s reliable luxury
As much as I love, and want this car, I can just see it being a major nightmare to drive. You will need to be seriously a experienced driver, to sit at the wheel of this car. If only BMW would get around to enhancing the driver assistance system, to include a vehicular/pedestrian collision avoidance feature.
Hello Sam, is the Colour of the car - Tanzanite Blue? Also the interior, it looks quite red in colour, but is this Amorone Leather, I have a car on order with these colours. Hoping it is the same as your review car. Good Review, and great looking car.
@@SamCarLegion Thanks Sam, But you forgot to answer my questions regarding the colours. (Tanzanite? and Amorone interior?). Looks like it, but just wanted to have confirmation. Also, what is it about the short Cadillac video in the beginning? (also with funny sound).
I enjoyed my test drives and almost bought one. But it is very long, almost as long as my Rivian R1T… and it won’t fit in my garage, unless it takes the R1T’s spot.
@@SamCarLegion they decided to cancel it? I assumed since electrical cars do not have the multiple replacement parts in an engine, they would recoup the cost there.
It was totally unnecessary to mess up the design - this could have been the undeniable king of luxury esp given the EQS egg failed design… what is the reason for messing up the previous 7 series ??? BMW had a perfect basis to expand and instead created a contradictory design …
Sad BMW had to copy Hyundai and Chevy with the split headlights. The 7 is one ugly car , grill , wheels etc.. Mercedes is laughing all the way to the bank. The glowing grill is tacky and classless . BMW really has ruined the 7
No , I don't agree. The exterior is quite ugly , yes , but that interior is simply sublime! Nobody ,and I don't think even a RR, has an interior like this , nope !
@@ibmujic4764 I don't think BMW consciously wanted to "copy" Citroen, they just wanted to introduce a new design and it just happened to be done before by Citroen. BMW is plenty able to do very new stuff on it's own without anybody's help !
@@gregorygant4242 that's my point too,i drive bmw's and there is things that i dont like about some models but overall it is the best mix of sport,luxury and quality cars there is.
The interior design and overall luxury are definitely better than the EQS and S Class, but the exterior is pure ugliness. The W223 S Class is better on the outside, while the Genesis G90 is way more attractive than both Benz and BMW.
Eqs and this car and the tesla are all overhyped 3 year throwaway cars that look like trash .... I guess automakers have hit the wall and can't make a handsome car even less a handsome electric car but lucky for me I'm not into new cars ....
What ? I can see anyone being able to drive this from a young person to a high profile business person.Body lines speak and this car just says (I am here) I personally think its a large luxurious vehicle,Looks very masculine with a slight splash of sportiness,yet maintains a presence similar to seeing a rolls almost,not same caliber but you get what i mean,The options,features and interior are a absolutely no brainer,Also it still looked gorgeous at night time which is very difficult.
@@SamCarLegionProbably. When you called the Z car of the year, and I said the Z06 was better, you complained that only a few people could afford it (and you haven’t driven it). So if that’s too expensive, this would be too.
Unfortunately, again, I live in Canada- we did not expect this car to come this early. I literally thought I wouldn’t drive this car in 2022, I thought probably 2023 like March. Unlike most western countries we get cars very very late. This car came to the market in June. Reviews were done months ago. It’s definitely a car of the year award.
The way this thing rides..hard to explain thru words.
Thanks Sam, have enjoyed your RUclips video, have watched numerous times. We take delivery of 960e in May 2023 in Switzerland.

No one ever showed this car so beautiful on camera till date, even BMW themself
Such a grand car, love the side profile and that interior is really next level.
Hands down the best! No debate here!
The garishness is part of the charm.
The exterior is not my favorite design, but the interior is where this i7 gets its points at🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎
The way it drives and how things feel 🥹
@@SamCarLegion is it comparable to a Maybach or better?
Definitely better than maybach

Bmw king of the road....
Adore this car!
Wiiiild. Straight on the car looks amazing. The front 3/4 not so much. Insane vehicle. Oh and that stability on the rollers ;)
Definitely controversial but stately looking at the same time
Looking absolutly beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Thank you! Cheers!
You are welcome 😊
Music name from intro ?
2:58 lol 😆. Bmw is coming get out of the way
It actually looks like a proper limo.
The mostly older demographic buying a new 7 won’t actually use most of these silly gimmicks. And they are quite ugly.
If I had the money…i would buy one 😋
Uh, I bought my 750i when I was in my low 30s.
Looks aren’t important. We spend our time inside driving, not outside looking at it.
@@MikeL-FLinteresting logic. The S, G90, A8, and LS all look cleaner and better.
@@doggedlydetermined7022i think this car isnt the prettiest on the road but the coolest

Can you, please, compare i7 with fuel 7-series? They have the same look, visual difference between electric and fuel 7-series are minimal.
Difference between S-class W223 and EQS sedan are much more visible.

This 'is' the ZEV* version of the BMW i7, yes?
(*ZEV = Zero Emmissions Vehicle)
Awesome car! I love it. Unfortunately very expensive. ;)
Good things have a price

Howard, I’m not sure on the color names, but the car in the video looks great. This car looks best in dark colors. I love the dark blue.
@@scottormond7985 - Colour is Tanzanite Blue. We have ordered with Amarone interior. (Sort of burgundy colour). We get it in May 2023.
I enjoyed my test drives and almost bought one. But it is very long, almost as long as my Rivian R1T… and it won’t fit in my garage, unless it takes the R1T’s spot.
This car is a grand slam had it not been for the front end clip. :( just not a fan of that headlight/running like look. But man is she luxurious
It looks a lot better in person
@@SamCarLegion I’ve heard! This before. I’m sure it will grow but the opulence is phenomenal. Would you rather drive a 7 or M3 ? 😁😁😁
I hope you can pull the door closed yourself. If it is belting down rain, or snow, I don't want to be waiting for that lazy door.
😂
what is the color? blue or Black?
Ridiculous to have not the rearview camera activated by theater mode. Seems like a major safety issue.
Agreed
Sam is awesome 👌
💩🤮 the design is disgusting probably better E38 F01 G11 these will not be created
Very nice 👌🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
Great review Sam.
Glad you enjoyed it
Split headlight design looks like something I'd see on the front of a Hyundai.
Rolls have it first with the Phantom Drophead,so Hyundai being a copycat tbh
Gonna be a monthly cost for heated seats, full hp, on top of the monthly cost!
No more subscription
@@SamCarLegion they decided to cancel it? I assumed since electrical cars do not have the multiple replacement parts in an engine, they would recoup the cost there.
@@iissac22isnt mercedes planing on doing a 1200 dollar subscription to make the eqs faster?
@@linus2982 more of a one time cost. I think they were waiting to see how people accepted paying monthly for things that already exist in a car.

How are these headlights compared to the digital ones on the s class in terms of performance ?
Oh mama- the sharpness and the way the crystal light up, different experience
There is a comparison of LED lights and BMW Laser lights on Australian website. LED's are now better!
@@howardrose9138 which website?

The new S class looks like the ugliest S class ever designed,and I come from a w221 and w222
What color is this car
The colour is Tanzanite Blue, a premium colour at higher cost that other colours, but unique.
Eqs and this car and the tesla are all overhyped 3 year throwaway cars that look like trash .... I guess automakers have hit the wall and can't make a handsome car even less a handsome electric car but lucky for me I'm not into new cars ....
That’s harsh, some Teslas are still on the road after 100k miles
No way in hell BMW can beat Mercedes in EV technology ! With all EVs flooding the market the BMW 7 e is not the best in class, and is a joke 😕
I have driven both, i7 is superior. The EQS is nice too, but not as good as this
I'm not fan of either (currently driving a 2020 750), if anything I think GMC is the best bang for the buck in the EV category !
This car is absolutely the most heinous looking car sold. Hideous. BMW really has lost its way. Benz has nothing to worry about from them.
I thought the same from pics, in person, this thing breaks necks. Literally people giving me thumbs up everywhere

@@elic5355 nailed it
The EQS is the most horrible looking. All reviewers have said the I7 is better.
@@Kenyon712 touche... the eqs doesn't look good either. I wouldn't have either of one. The sales leader will be the EQS suv anyway.
I would say CoTY, but you’ll probably complain about the price. 😋

I can’t give a ghost car an award - that car won’t arrive to Canada for review until…probably never.
@@SamCarLegion But you’ve driven this. Is it car of the year worthy?

Looks like a China brand Try to copy a BMW 7 2021 and failed completely....
Really eh?
S class interior looks like a Tesla knockoff
I prefer my A8L
S class way better
Nahhh
Nope,in terms of interior design and quality as well
😂
Looks very ugly IMO
Nah people always say that, but when there’s no car to purchase they ended up buying the one they called ugly
Genesis g90 still the best for me
