2023 BMW 7 Series Review // Taking The S-Class To School

The 2023 BMW i7 xDrive60 ($194,200 as specced in Canada, $151,600 in the US) is the fully electric variant of the brand new 7 series lineup. Aiming to be a supremely luxurious and tech’d out experience, the new 7 series is available with a massive 31 inch entertainment screen for the rear passengers. Coupled with the optional Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system, the i7 could be mistaken for a portable movie theater.

It also boasts a commendable 536 horsepower and 549 lb ft of torque from a dual motor setup, and has rear-wheel steering to boot. But does the level of luxury and tech match the hefty price tag? And how does it compare to its competition? Thomas and James share their thoughts! We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!

“They’re in larger supply—short ladies.” James, bringing us the facts we didn’t even know we needed.

Can't wait to buy one of these in 5 years for $22, 000.

I think the new 7-Series fits better in a dystopian cyberpunk action film than real life but to be fair, we're probably going to end up living in a dystopian cyberpunk action film within the next one or two decades so I can't blame them for cutting out the middle man going straight for the 2077 neomilitaristic aesthetic

The self-opening doors that don't work is the ultimate "WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER WANT OR NEED THIS" optional extra.

As a BMW technician who did the PDI for an ICE version of this car, I can attest to the automatic doors being highly unpredictable. I messed with them for 5 minutes and couldn't figure it out. The inside buttons work fine, but I never even got the outside buttons to open the door all the way. Wasn't able to read the manual, though. That's in a sealed bag for the customer to open, but I wouldn't be surprised if it just said, "see dealer."

I'm not much of a car guy. I would probably never seriously consider for purchase most of the cars you review, however; I will watch every single video you post because they are all so dang entertaining. I would watch a video where you guys just explain how you met, what you did before this and how you started making these videos. Outstanding work, gentlemen!

[botdingo]

Throttle House bro, literally the best car review channel on the internet, if not the best channel period. Absolutely hilarious, unbiased, informative, and the quality is impeccable. So glad yall exist and thriving

[geoffstartswithg]

Best car review team on youtube. The confidence and humor is really starting to set you fellas apart. Go Canada!

[mattevans]

Compared to other big grilled BMWs, if they just offered a grille reduction package, it would actually look good.

[perkmaster]

As always...A creative intro..a detailed comparison...good chemistry and great cinematography a

[themotivator]

I can always relax when I watch throttle house, as a big car guy, they always make my day better. I'm happy y'all exist

[aaronpomeroy]

Unpopular opinion, I like the exterior.

[IainB]

Never get rid of the clip in the intro with Thomas hitting his head getting into the i8 roadster. I smile ever time.

[hodgesjaso]

That was a fantastically entertaining review. Keep up the great work, guys.

[LordFirestaff]

I was a big-time critic of this vehicle a few months ago, but then I went to buy a new S class and the dealership happened to have a new 760i in stock. I compared the two and fell in love with the 760i. It made the S class feel like a little old ladies' car. The exterior looks mean and sporty which I just love. The interior though is so plush, well thought out and superbly designed. I bought the 760i. My only real complaints are:

1. The dropdown TV. Though I love it, I hate not seeing out of the review while it's down. I feel like when the TV is being used, the rear camera needs to come on so that the driver can easily see what's going on behind him/her.

2. The air vents. Though I like the clean lines on the dash, I miss not feeling the intense blowing of the air vents. Living in South Texas, it gets quite hot during the summer. Sometimes you really want to feel the air blowing on you and hard. It does still cool the car but personally, I would prefer bigger air vents.

All in all, this is the best car I've ever owned.

It’s so cool to see how good the production value is now, been watching you guys for a while. Be proud!!

[talibali]

I love how they make you laugh while also doing a serious car review. So blessed to have you guys

[jonassundgren]

This era of BMW design makes the old Bangle cars a lot better looking.

[vprsa]

I laughed my ass off at the driving mode changes. Nicely done guys

[twistedsxs]

That intro, I died laughing. You guys somehow get better and better.
