BMW 7 Series | Making Sense of Excess

We discuss the new 2024 BMW 7 Series. We list the pros and cons of how BMW implements technology, features, and design and drive the plug-in hybrid variation of this $140,000 Luxury Sedan. While other vehicles are in this segment, like the Lucid Air, Tesla Model S, Audi S8, Mercedes S Class, and Porsche Panamera, the BMW has many configurations that suit most tastes.

Jack: You're not wanna own this thing in five years
Me: I don't wanna own it now

[MegaGAMER]

The fact it has a check engine light on ALREADY !!! Blows my mind

[joelbolton]

The CEL and the cupholder cover coming off at 3:35 were the chef's kiss! LOL

[FeLiXsLaVe]

"the car your dad's boss fired him from" 💀

The engine light on at 3k miles is peak BMW.

3:30 - I love how "it's about luxury" is the comment as the cupholder cover pops off.

I watched this wearing a Patagonia jacket. I felt like we had a real connection.

I can't wait to buy one of these for $8K in a few years to use in my garage as a meditation capsule using the two to three things that still work in it, which won't be the drive train, air ride, or most the screens, but hopefully that soothing voice thing still works.

BMW tech here. Just got done spending almost all day to pull an intercooler out of one of these to find that they didn't snap an evap hose connector together all the way, causing a MIL at like 2k

The Geese honking in the background make this video complete.

The depreciation will certainly be making cents of excess.

[Ctrojans]

Every time i see one of these on the road makes me wish id taken another road

[kossak]

Exterior styling might be subjective but my God, this is atrocious.

[bigd]

The amount of grace given here is surprising. I don’t care if I’m leasing it or not, a check engine light and pieces of trim, brand new, is unacceptable at this price point.

just making sure you guys are reminded that what makes this channel special is the technical details and genuine effort and care that you guys put in. i appreciate it!

As a 7-Series owner (G11/G12), I want to implore all of you to only lease, never own. If not for the MaxCare warranty, my 26 months of ownership would have already cost me $38K in maintenance.

LMAO... pickleball reference. There's a town pickleball court right across from my house, and a 70-year-old dude comes to play every day driving his 7 Series.

[welles]

61 year old many time BMW owner here, so I'm somewhere in the vicinity of the target market for this car. My verdict:

Appalling.

[konradhittner]

It’ll be an awesome pimpmobile in polychrome paint 6 years from now, and nicely “stanced” when the airbags crap out.

Came off the show room floor with the check engine light pre lit
