Advice from a BMW Owner. The car turns off for safety reasons (theft), if you have passengers in the car just simply scroll & press “precondition” on the screen when the car turns off. This starts the engine back up with a/c or heat, but won’t engage drive without a key present. @16:37 or you can just hold down “distance control” and save it to your shortcuts. Once saved, all you have to do is swipe down from the top of the screen and click that option. @21:00 Assistance plus doesn’t work on backroads. @21:13 just use the scroll wheel to change the gauge layout.
@@TopherDrives no worries. I’ve been dealing with iDrive since iDrive 3. They are definitely systems you want to sit in the car for an hour or so and get used to before driving.
That's the problem with BMW. it's SO complicated because of how many options and functions you have... But it's also thir biggest strenght because if you know your car well, it becomes the best of the best for absolutely everything. Just have to keep everything in mind...

Great video, it was quite a ride, the kei truck and red brush side by side. Loved every moment, it was truly grand, can't wait to see more from your hand!
Just had nostalgia watching this. My friend and I drove from Ann Arbor Michigan to New York. Almost 6 years later I come across a video that shows the same scenery. This is the content I live for big ups....👊👊
I loved the Kei Truck cameo. 😉. Really enjoyed watching the road trip video and as always another great review of another great product. It was really cool to see the authenticity of ordering fast food and eating in the car while on a road trip. I appreciate all of your hard work. 👍🏼
Loved the video thank you both for all the hard work! Also I know this isn't the main content of the channel but on one of the road trip videos I'd love to hear the story of how you and Emily met. You guys have such a great dynamic
Loved the Kei Truck clip and red brush too. It may be a long video but it was a great. Always love the road trip videos and that you highlight the trip computer stats, filling up gas/charging, seat comfiness, lunch/coffee and similar everyday shops like that. It’s a lot of small things but they add up to a quality video. Also loved the West Virginia fun facts and lore 😂

Nice story about the fuel caps on the right side in German cars. Actually it’s a matter on which side of the road you drive, Japanese cars have the fuel cap on the left side. However, Mercedes Benz broke that rule when introducing the A-Class (fuel cap on the left). On which side you have to fill up your car indicates the little arrow beside the fuel pump in your gauge.
I get close to 700 miles in my X5 40i with the 20+ gallon tank. It is a mild hybrid tho. I agree it’s insanely involved to set up initially. I love it.
The feature that slows the car down in curves looks like it works very well. I have the same feature in my K5 but it doesn’t work anywhere near as well. Mine only slows down on certain curves that have been pre programmed by Kia in the navigation system and I don’t think the speed control is natural either. It either slows the car down too much that it impedes traffic or it keeps the car going too fast (experienced this on some really windy roads on the PA/MD border). So I’m glad, BMW was able to execute this feature in a (as expected) luxurious and unobtrusive way.
few points but I know its months later lol. 1. the empty spot on the wheel is for a future button for full autonomous driving. 2. you can keep the car running if the door opens if the driver's seatbelt is clicked in albeit if its a climate problem you can run the pre-con for 30 mins as long as the battery is above 30%. 3. the auto slow down is a setting in the driver assistance menus that you can choose slow medium or fast or off.
My understanding is that the most economical mode is to leave the car in intelligent hybrid mode and not using up all the battery in one go apart from regeneration
I love me a red brush kei truck! Loved the long distance review, i’ve always wanted to know how these new 7 series handle on the interstate for hundreds of miles and I’m glad you did it
I think the only way to get the car to remain on is opening the door before putting the car in park, when you take your foot off the break it will turn off, but if the car is in sport (the most sporty setting, I think called sport boost) it will remain on. tricky but kind of a good thing from a safety perspective. (at least this is how my 330e hybrid operates. might be different on the 7)
Seems like a great road trip vehicle. It's above my pay grade, but I wish our domestic automakers would make a car this size and maybe a turbo four cylinder with a mild hybrid system. As someone who does multiple +1000 mi trips, this would be great.
It’ll be interesting to see if this era of “statement making” exterior design fizzles out for them. That being said, all I had to look at for 99% of the road trip was the interior, which was great 🤣
I think the car looks fantastic in black and dark blue where it hides most of the ugly lines and just makes it look like a solid, long, monolith on wheels! In light colors yuk, all ugly unnecessary angles stand out too much.
Well they need the 7 series to sell, therefore it’s their way to make the 7 series a sales success, tbh I also hated the look when it first came out but now seeing a lot on the road of the west coast kinda makes me dig the vehicle even more than the 5 series and the rivalling S class
Ok, new sub here from Ireland, after seeing you on Tedward and watching this video. 7 series seems sublime. Edit: Forgot to mention Kei truck/Red Brush
Tbh after seeing how messy the new 5 series is, I kinda like this more than the 5 series and the rival S class, this thing in person has Rolls Royce presence especially a 4 door Spectre, knowing that it rides on the Rolls Royce Ghost platform like the F01 did
@@Chitu_8 well that 5 is a huge overstyling exterior and interior, the exterior of that looks like a Honda Accord and Toyota Camry being mixed into one, and interior quality wise it's a complete step down compared to G30
Hey! Do you think you’d be able to road trip , or “road trip” a TRX or a Raptor R? Would love to see how comfortable the ride is and the comfortability of the seats and the noise from those big tires since most people won’t be taking them off road all the time! Please and thank you😅
I had a 330e - I don’t think you can keep the car “on” once the door is open for the hybrids (can do it on gas cars by restarting with the door open, but with the hybrid as soon as door open + foot off brake the system shuts down). Also, if you’re using the BMW navigation system you should leave the hybrid system to itself, as it can tell by the route where best to use electric vs gas. Unfortunately doesn’t work with CarPlay though.
I think it's KIND OF a shame you didn't use the built in navigation system because it works so flawlessly paired with the assist plus fonction on the highway, it even decelerates by itself to take an off ramp and it warns you to get on a specific lane not to miss your exit ! and obviously the AR view that shows you exactly where you have to be or go ! it's really minor details but on longer trips it's absolutely amazing ! edit : I didn't get that you didn't have assist plus on this one so it's not really bringing down the quality of your experience new edit : I take that off you actually have assist plus... (assist plus only works on highways registered as safe in the system so maybe bmw still haven't registered the part of the highway you were on) *kei truck or red brush
K truck. Great video. It would be great if you could lower the background music in future videos as it’s really loud and jarring when listening w headphones. I love road trips and am always looking for the ultimate relaxation / isolation vehicle. I’m seriously thinking of a used i7 when used prices tank.
Bucees is great, but nothing beats a Sheetz run. Had a Sheetz near me in college in Northern Maryland and loved it. Recently had a Sheetz and Wawa open by me and I'm definitely not taking advantage of it enough. A Bucees closer to me would be really nice though. Those should just be the only three gas stations in the country maybe.
Spaceship car. Very cool. It's crazy how much attention needs to be spent on the infotainment screen and controls. I get that we are getting an edited clip in which you want to highlight the fuctions, but still. When driving you should only be driving. Taking your eyes off the road with oncoming traffic shouldn't be promoted. Can only assume that these technology stuffed cars offset accident statistics with all their safety systems..
This car is so cool! :D I mean if you have space for parking (which is probably no problem in North America ^^). I wonder how much it costs to rent a car for this time. This is an absolute dream of vehicle :D
