The face that only a mother could love

“The car comes with good looks, this doesn’t have it but I’ve seen it and I love it” -Rory.

Never been a massive fan of the 7 series but this has hands down changed the interior game!
Love the classy touches and the screen at the back, most definitely would consider one

[Deandunbar]

I think that if the previous beautiful 7 series cars didn't exist then this would be OK. I loved when every item on BMWs and Mercedeses had a purpose, now they just keep adding toys screens and bling and highly patterned leather in the seats and Las Vegasy lights and touches to keep their buyers from getting bored. It is a business after all and it's working for them.

Love the tech in new cars, but I wonder how long it will last before it needs endless trips to the dealer for expensive diagnostic fault finding. Then huge bills for new tyre pressure modules etc. Well made electronics can last decades, but will they use quality stuff that lasts past the warranty period?

The i7 comes with 4 wheels and an engine too, this car doesn't have it but I've seen it and i love it -Rory

The interior is legendary! Seriously. I do think it looks nice overall. Cheers BMW.

The styling of the new 7’s has grown on me strangely. And the interior is amazing

[snbala]

I saw one in the flesh the other day and it isn’t bad at all. It has presence and looks different. If you want something normal and boring looking, then get an A8. I think it will grow on people like the Chris Bangle 7 series did from back in the days. I really hate EVs of any sort but as a BMW fan, I can make a small exception. I would have a 7 series over an S class and A8. I think it’s great.

I personally need a while to accept the front of the car!

I think the only thing that really saves this car is the interior

[LeistungDrehmoment]

I had been expecting this car but I was really disappointed when the official images were released
After taking a look of the real thing, I fell in love with this car
This car is big and has great presence, it feels and looks like Rolls Royce Ghost but with more high-tech

[sathirakatugaha]

I think the new 7 series definitely looks awkward in lighter colours, but my god, in the right colourway it's stunning. BMW has done a lot in recent years to push the status quo on design, love it or hate it at least they're trying

[johnnypovdrives]

Hated it when I first saw it, LOVE it since I drove it. Another great review Rory! ✨👌✨

[Fasteddiebreakshearts]

🏁🏁Love your reviews man but how much did BMW pay you for the review …this new 7 series monster 👹 mouth is a abomination of automotive design 🤢🤮 …a face even the most loving grandmother 👵🏾 would not love 😱

[santana]

Personal love the look presence and luxury of this car. My favourite from the latest 7 s and a8

[suhail]

I7 against the s class electric would be a good comparison.

[kfh]

"I'm falling for the big grill design". Mate, you will fall through these every growing drains, if you are not careful.

(BMW made it clear: China is the main market and they have a different perception of the brand there, less sporty)
Thank you for this review! Keep up the great work.

It’s a big departure from the previous generation (G12) and I hated it when it debuted, but in person and in black it has a very nice road presence. Plus the interior is gorgeous. I still prefer the G12 however, especially in Alpina B7 form

[dantem]

I saw one yesterday, the road presence is INSANE!
