BMW 7 Series 2020 in-depth review - Carbuyer

The latest version of the BMW 7 Series luxury saloon is arguably the most identifiable, thanks to a bold new nose featuring a kidney grille that's around 40% bigger than the one on the previous model. The comfortable and elegant Mercedes S-Class has been considered the class-leader in this part of the market for a few years - Ginny finds out whether the 7 Series now has what it takes to change that.

The front looks great, really classy.

The size of the grille is not the issue, other manufactures do it as well. It's the fact that the grille goes upwards from the headlamps line, not downwards as it should. Ends up climbing on the bonnet

Am so so disappointed with you Ginny.. This is BMW not everything in life has to be Mercedes ..thought you knew that, great car, l love it.

Great video, I really like the front end

I saw this on the road the other day. it's truly in a league of its own. Beauty and the beast!

Well, the 7 series always was the luxury drivers car, while the S-Class always focussed on maximum passenger comfort. It's the same with the current models. If you want to drive by yourself, go for the 7. If you want to be driven by a chauffeur, go for the S-Class. I hope that it will stay that way, I like it when manufacturers have different approaches to get things done.

Revealing James as the driver is icing on the cake! Great vid, you guys! If it's me I'd get the A8 tho.

"Home, James!" !!! Great stuff !!! Well done Ginny !!! And about new BMW 7... It is all noble and blue-blooded... but why so conservative a grille?

[jamiep]

Great Video Review. I personally think the New Grille Is a bit to big but I particularly like the New Infotainment System

[HMCarReviews]

For me the 7 series from the late 90s early 00s is the best looking. Does anyone else think otherwise?

[ronny]

was this video a comparison to the S -Class ???? stick to reviewing the 7 series .

[faisalbaig]

I live in dubai and ive seen this new model first time on road yesterday believe me it looks beast from front and back!! Gorgeous car♥️

[greenking]

This BMW 7 series is absolutely gorgeous looking car

[zikietseka]

from the very beginning of this video I could sense your hatred towards BMW, and your favouritism towards Merc. And for the rest of the video we had to listen to you go on and on about how Merc is better than BMW, thats disappointing bcz we came here to learn about this new BMW. Its not uncommon for reviewere to compare rival cars, but they normally use statistics and facts, you were using personal bias in my view, saying things like: the Merc is just nicer, or the Merc has always been better, or such. Such continuous comparison of immeasurable preferences really ruins car reviews

BMV has always been a fun car to drive. The larger grill - its a love or dislike. Overall it is a beautiful car. I have a benz as well which is also a lovely car but when it comes to Driving, the Idrive and Nav system - BMV wins: For me. either car you cant go wrong. Nice review

10:24 ... Ginny playing with the built in vibrating option pack.

[jspope]

Odd because plenty have said the ride on the S Class is not as good as the previous model ! You see it’s really all about options isn’t it.

[rdxbhai.]

How big do want the grills ?
BMW: Yes
