I’ve rotated back and forth between S class and 7 series for years. I’ve enjoyed my S class for the last 6 years and was ready to go electric. The dealer gave me a loaner EQS for a couple of days. Although the ride was wonderful, ingress/egress was horrible for me (I’m a big guy). The I7 won me over without even driving it. I ordered it immediately and (according to the online progress report) it just left the factory. I can’t wait! Perfect Xmas present to myself.

"All 4 wheels off the ground?? Couldn't feel it in this" 😂😂

When you sent it in the air I laughed so hard 😂

No one talks about the decrease in quality instead they focus on the wow design. Thank you for being that up.

The previous gen M760Li was one of the greatest BMW's and V12's ever built. Sadly we will never see their like again.😔. As Joe says, "the old 7 was perfection".

One of the last people here on youtube who would only share his honest opinion. Appreciate that. Great review, as always 👌🏽

[garyhuntsr]

not even a kind gesture offered to a kidnapped back-seater! 😍

[jeg]

Hope you didnt get into too much trouble getting airborne 🤣

[RandGTFan]

My God, 23 mins of brutal honesty! Very appreciated, of course. 😎

I laughed a lot with the "four wheels off the ground" situation! 🤣🤣

Technology made possible for manufacturers something never possible before: more features, higher prices with lower production costs. They are taking out buttons because they are EXPENSIVE compared to redesigning an electronic interface. That’s plain and simple the reason. They tell you many stories but the truth is that these cars are higher priced AND are worth less compared to previous generations… lesser materials less physical complexity and many many heavy electric and cheap motors for controlling everything. That’s also why the surplus weight (other than the batteries ofc).
Cars used to have the best of the best in materials and technology but these huge ass screens are too economical to be skipped. And people love these tricks. All in all I would die to know a TRUE cost breakdown of a 2023 7 series vs a 2007 7 series.

The thing with joe is how honest and knowledgeable his reviews are top work as always

[guinnessharvey]

BMW at least have the balls to design something so bold. Like it or hate it, you gotta admit it’s striking.

It has been growing on me because it reminds me of the Green Hornet's car 😅

[adamwaygood]

All 4 wheels very impressive in a car that size 😂😂

I think it has become cool to hate on the new BMW styling on the internet. Personally I think it looks amazing, modern, menacing, broad shouldered, like an MMA fighter wearing a tailored suit. I think the dark colours suit this style best. Also disappointed in the review that seems to me to be “this big heavy luxury car is big and heavy and doesn’t handle like a sports car” well surely if you want a sports car then that’s what you’ll go and buy. Looking forward to more objective reviews in the future.

I have driven The latest Maybach GLS600 and Bentley Bentayga for the last year, and after sitting in the BMW i7 it’s as luxurious and high quality as those cars. Haven’t driven yet though.

[edward]

Your old one was actually a really good looking car. It’s a shame the same can’t be said about the new one

[rxpubgb]

Probably the best review on this as Joe said tiktokers car😂

[w.a.]

so how much of your assessment of this i7's interior quality is driven by the incredibly dull spec? the various browns and whites with open pore wood trim are SO much nicer

[pjs]

I sense a more critical tone from you these days. I like it
