0.06 -> so with everything going electric many
2.22 -> car enthusiasts including myself feel
4.14 -> like that cars are becoming a means of
6 -> Transport rather than an expression of
7.62 -> someone's personality however in some
9.9 -> rare cases there are some cars that were
11.76 -> destined to the electric and a car that
14.099 -> was always destined to be Electric
15.9 -> was the BMW 7 Series
18.06 -> introducing the all-new 2023 i7 my
22.68 -> name's Salvatore
24 -> and this is exhaust notes Australia and
26.22 -> in this review I'm going to explain why
28.859 -> the i7 or the 7 Series should have
31.38 -> always been a less trick from the get-go
42.44 -> thank you
56.399 -> so the competitors to the i7 are the eqs
59.28 -> the rde Tron and also
62.28 -> the Porsche taikan
64.979 -> um to be fair after having this car for
67.38 -> a week I really believe that the BMW i7
70.2 -> is the king of that category of cars
73.939 -> price is around about 297
77.52 -> 000 before on-road costs so you're
79.799 -> looking around about over 300 000 and to
82.439 -> be fair it's quite a bargain and I'll
84.659 -> get on to that a little later on in the
86.34 -> video and explain why this is such a a
89.22 -> good car for the money that it's worth
91.92 -> um also there's two variants of the i7 X
94.799 -> drive 60 you have the Excellence and you
96.96 -> have the M sport the Excellence will
98.7 -> have more Chrome and the M Sports a bit
100.92 -> more sportier I don't know how you can
103.079 -> add more Chrome to this car when there's
104.579 -> already a lot of chrome to begin with
105.96 -> with the M sport but I'm not going to
108.18 -> delve into that let's talk about the
109.56 -> overall design of the car starting with
112.38 -> the front end I think the car looks
114.18 -> really nice in person trust me it looks
116.28 -> a lot better than in photos uh if you
118.68 -> can get over this massive Grille I know
120.6 -> people make a big deal about it but it
122.28 -> suits this car just due to the sheer
124.86 -> size of this thing it is 5.4 meters long
128.099 -> it's longer than a Rolls-Royce cullinan
130.56 -> which is ridiculous I couldn't even fit
133.2 -> this car where I live in our car space
136.14 -> so I had to actually park it at my folks
138.66 -> place
139.56 -> um yeah so about at the front end so we
141.18 -> have these split headlights at the front
143.099 -> here so you've got like this Crystal
144.239 -> effect in the front headlights which
146.16 -> makes the car look really nice and
147.66 -> classy and just finishes up nicely and
150 -> then you've got your actual headlamps
151.319 -> down here then you've got this
152.58 -> aggressive front bumper because it's the
154.2 -> M Sport and then this huge Grill
155.94 -> obviously and then you've got this
158.099 -> ginormous Behemoth of a bonnet which to
161.4 -> be fair makes no sense on an electric
162.9 -> car because there is actually nothing
164.64 -> under here you don't have a front boot
166.26 -> like most electric cars Edge just stores
168.3 -> all the electronics for the BMW so
171 -> you've got a massive hood that does
173.64 -> nothing but store the electronics
177.62 -> one two three four and five like I said
183.66 -> it is really long but it looks good I
188.7 -> really like the IX inspired handles door
191.76 -> handles so you don't have door handles
192.959 -> on this which is really nice they're
194.4 -> just hidden
196.26 -> um and then I just like how the car just
197.64 -> tapers off at the end it's just really
199.2 -> nice it's very futuristic and that's
201.06 -> what I like about the i7 it suits for
203.099 -> what it is it's an electric uh High
205.44 -> exact car it's a big Super Saloon and it
208.8 -> just looks the part and it's really
210.9 -> really nice I do like it in this color
213.54 -> um it's quite nice and it's not too in
215.7 -> your face but like always would prefer
218.58 -> this car especially this car to be black
220.799 -> black windows black paint and black
223.08 -> wheels would have looked really cool
224.459 -> talking about Wheels you have 21 inch
226.68 -> Alloys and I do like the design
229.319 -> um I do like on this for example they
231.72 -> haven't just done what every electric
233.04 -> car has and that's just a slab of
235.26 -> plastic or a hubcap and they've actually
237.42 -> sort of Designing a really nice wheel to
239.459 -> suit this car and I do like these wheels
241.879 -> what I don't like is all the sensors on
244.739 -> the car make the car look like it has a
248.76 -> disease there's just all these dots
251.76 -> everywhere I think they could have
253.439 -> covered those up a lot easier or a lot
255.84 -> better than keeping them exposed
258.739 -> but yeah let's go towards the back and
261.9 -> uh we'll check out the rear end of this
264 -> car
264.9 -> so yeah the car's very boxy you might be
267.3 -> thinking that and I like that about the
269.639 -> car it actually suits like I said before
271.919 -> it suits what this car is and that is a
274.56 -> big Saloon a big limo and that looks the
278.04 -> part it looks it has presence on the
279.54 -> road trust me this thing turns heads
281.34 -> padded like I said for a week and people
283.199 -> look at this and people stand and go
284.94 -> whoa what is that and especially at the
287.52 -> rear end here I do really like the back
288.96 -> end of the car I like these 3d effect
290.759 -> with the LED tail lights and then I like
293.28 -> this rear bumper that does not have fake
295.32 -> exhaust it's electric doesn't need fake
298.02 -> exhaust so they've just come up with
299.46 -> some sort of fake diffuser I'd much
301.68 -> rather that than fake exhaust so BMW
304.08 -> good job there and then you also have
306.72 -> this cool little effect so the BMW have
308.759 -> brought over what they had on the IX to
310.62 -> clean the rear uh camera on the back the
313.74 -> BMW logo actually pops out washes that
315.72 -> for you which is quite uh neat and then
318.479 -> you have a hidden kind of boot release
320.94 -> button to open up the boot
323.46 -> um
324.24 -> oh cars locked so that's why it's not
326.4 -> opening I'll show you that a bit later
327.96 -> on
328.979 -> um but other than that guys I really
330.419 -> like the whole overall design let me
332.4 -> know what you guys think in the comments
333.78 -> other than that let's jump into that
335.16 -> front seat and see what the interior has
336.9 -> to offer
338.699 -> before we talk about any of the design
340.5 -> in the interior will go anywhere for
343.02 -> that matter let's just talk about how
344.88 -> you open doors in this car and close
347.039 -> doors in this car
349.02 -> so you don't do what normal people do
350.759 -> and open a door and use your
353.699 -> human ability to pull something and use
357 -> your strength no no no no don't worry
358.74 -> about that the car will look after you
360.9 -> you press a button to open the door
363.539 -> and you press a button to close the door
366.18 -> why why open it just you're spending
369.18 -> this money let the car do everything for
371.039 -> you
372.18 -> now let's just talk about design okay so
374.759 -> I do like the overall design of this car
376.38 -> and especially when it comes to the
377.82 -> interior too again it matches the
380.699 -> outside so it's futuristic in here but
382.62 -> it's also uh very
385.62 -> um traditional at the same time and that
387.84 -> goes for the way the seats are designed
389.699 -> and how comfortable they are to the way
391.74 -> that the dash is laid out as well I love
394.38 -> how they've brought over from The IX
396.06 -> this curved display it's beautiful it's
398.16 -> clear and it works very well then
401.58 -> there's the way that they've hidden the
403.44 -> air vents so most car manufacturers they
405.72 -> actually you know design air vents to
407.94 -> suit the overall dash of the car and
410.039 -> they go to extreme lengths to make it
411.72 -> look really cool where BMW is just
413.58 -> hitting them just hidden away and you
415.62 -> can adjust them here with a little knob
417.419 -> or open and close them with the haptic
419.28 -> feedback button on the dash talking
422.4 -> about this Dash and where that haptic
424.199 -> feedback button is you have this
425.58 -> continuous light bar that continues from
427.74 -> the dash to the doors that is covered in
430.5 -> crystals and illuminates depending on
433.139 -> what modes you choose and has 15 million
436.8 -> different light combinations which is
438.9 -> ridiculous and then there's the build
441.12 -> quality the build quality is nuts
442.68 -> everything's sturdy everything's solid
444.599 -> nothing is cheap in this car I love the
448.259 -> lever I love the way it feels I love
450.3 -> these seats I honestly feel like you're
451.86 -> sitting at a lazy on a lazy boy at home
454.08 -> and they are massage seats as well they
457.56 -> also heated and cooled and the cool
459.9 -> thing about the heated functions not
461.34 -> only is the seat heated but the middle
463.199 -> armrest gets hot and the door panel gets
465.479 -> hot the steering wheel heats up as well
467.58 -> which is pretty cool and talking about
469.44 -> the steering wheel I love this steering
471.12 -> wheel I know people don't like BMW
472.919 -> steering wheels because they think
473.759 -> they're too thick I really like these
475.86 -> steering wheel I think it's really well
476.88 -> designed and I like the way it looks I
479.099 -> hate but that it's got haptic feedback
481.02 -> buttons on it and most of the stuff in
482.819 -> this car and I hate how most cars have
484.74 -> that these days I'd rather physical
486.419 -> buttons and as well as physical climate
489.479 -> control
490.5 -> buttons the car does come with Apple
493.139 -> carplay and Android auto and wireless
495.12 -> charging it also has
498.199 -> USBC charging in the middle armrest so
500.879 -> you open it up and they're there
502.979 -> you don't have to open the glove box as
504.78 -> well no worry there's a button for that
506.879 -> as well it just opens up for you but you
509.639 -> have to close it yourself so that's
512.099 -> about it and then the roof lining is
513.899 -> covered in this Alcantara effect and
515.94 -> your vanity mirrors have a light in them
517.86 -> if you're very Vain and you want to look
519.479 -> at yourself
521.339 -> um
522.12 -> and then there's the
524.82 -> crystals that are used throughout the
527.1 -> whole car so we have the crystals on the
529.44 -> door like The IX for the seat
531.18 -> adjustments and then on the middle
533.279 -> console to control the iDrive and the
536.279 -> volume control BMW like to call it
538.5 -> Crystal Clarity it's quite fancy
542.16 -> um and then you have plenty of um room
544.5 -> for your stuff so there's big door bins
546.36 -> like I said there's the middle console
548.04 -> that opens up like that and it's split
549.899 -> so you can split it and then you have
552.36 -> square cup holders I just I don't know
554.459 -> why they did that they should just made
555.779 -> them circular but they're square but
558.72 -> yeah plenty of storage and plenty of
560.76 -> adjustments in the seat so you can get
562.26 -> very comfortable in the front of this
564.12 -> car but at the end of the day you're not
566.399 -> going to be driving this car you're
567.899 -> going to be driven so this is going to
570 -> be mostly where your chauffeur is going
571.86 -> to sit you're going to sit in the back
573.779 -> seat and into and get entertained by a
577.019 -> 31 inch TV which we're going to find out
581.459 -> what that looks like and how to use it
584.459 -> really soon so let's go check it out
587.279 -> okay before we address the Masterpiece
590.82 -> of this car which is right above us I do
593.399 -> want to touch on practicality in the
595.44 -> rear here because the main reason why
596.459 -> you're buying this car is to be
597.36 -> chauffeured around in and there's plenty
599.339 -> of room in the back here heaps in the
600.779 -> knee room heaps of foot room heaps of
603.839 -> Headroom so you can get comfortable
605.339 -> comfortable very easily in here you've
607.44 -> got this squishy pillow heaps of
609.54 -> adjustment in the seat which you use
611.04 -> your iPad in the door to do so which
613.38 -> functions this has heaps of functions
616.08 -> you can easily change the modes of the
618 -> car
619.22 -> you can call on here there's telephone
621.6 -> you can also adjust your seats like I
623.58 -> just said there's blinds there's lights
625.26 -> there's the air conditioning in the back
627.36 -> here which you can adjust which you have
629.64 -> air conditioning vents down here and in
631.26 -> the door so you can adjust all that it's
632.82 -> all adjustable so it's pretty cool then
635.1 -> you've also got a coat hook hanger here
637.14 -> which you can plug in a hanger to hang
638.88 -> your coat
640.2 -> um which you have to buy off BMW which
642.12 -> I'm guessing will cost a lot and then
643.62 -> you've got a USBC charger right there as
645.839 -> well then you've got here heaps of
648.06 -> storage
648.839 -> in the middle here in the middle armrest
650.279 -> with two USBC charging points then
652.74 -> you've got two cup holders and a
654.66 -> wireless charging pad
656.22 -> then you've also got isofix anchor
658.14 -> points if you need to convince the wife
660.12 -> that this is a family car as well
662.82 -> um besides all that I do want to mention
664.8 -> one little thing before we get into that
666.54 -> Masterpiece and I just want to say that
667.92 -> the design of these speaker systems I
669.54 -> think are really cool I really like how
671.76 -> they've done it with this aluminum
673.079 -> effect and if you were paying attention
674.7 -> when we're looking at the back of the
675.839 -> car they mimic that design that was on
678 -> the back of the retail lights which I
679.56 -> think is pretty cool
682.019 -> but let's get into the TV
684.24 -> so first of all I'm gonna hit modes on
686.519 -> my little iPad on the door then I'm
688.079 -> going to hit theater
689.94 -> which closes all the blinds
692.279 -> and then that theater mode music starts
695.04 -> playing your seat reclines into a more
697.62 -> comfortable position and the 31 inch TV
700.62 -> drops down from the ceiling
702.72 -> I still can't believe that this is in a
704.459 -> car now you might think that the driver
707.279 -> cannot see behind him well don't worry
709.26 -> he's got plenty of cameras like I showed
711.12 -> you guys before so he's got no excuse to
714.06 -> crash the car
715.38 -> okay so the TV itself there is heaps of
718.86 -> functions on it so you've got Netflix
720.18 -> you've got Prime you've got YouTube
722.1 -> there's plenty of stuff to do on here
724.5 -> and then if you want to work while
726.72 -> driving you can plug your computer into
729.18 -> the actual TV and use two screens
730.8 -> because it's got a HDMI input which made
733.38 -> me think if you have kids and your kids
735.72 -> are getting restless they don't want to
736.98 -> watch TV anymore they want to play the
738.66 -> Nintendo switch well don't worry
740.7 -> just plug it in see BMW has made a very
744.54 -> practical family car
746.579 -> but at a cost
748.56 -> let's go check out the boot before we do
750.959 -> I just want to show you guys something
752.519 -> as well
753.48 -> now say you're a kidnap you can't get
755.22 -> out well don't worry there's a quick
757.26 -> release handle at the bottom here to
758.76 -> open the door so it's not all electric
760.5 -> so I just wanted to make sure I did
762.66 -> mention that but let's go check out the
764.1 -> boot space
766.079 -> okay boot capacity so you have 500
769.139 -> liters of boot capacity
771 -> which is plenty for the luggage that
772.74 -> you're going to be carrying if you're
773.94 -> going on Long Journeys and then you've
776.82 -> got all your wireless charging stuff
778.68 -> that is stored underneath for all our
780.779 -> bags which there's yeah all our camera
783.48 -> gear so it's all under there now you
785.639 -> might be wondering why I have all the
787.079 -> doors open and the boot open well I want
789.48 -> to show you a party trick
797.519 -> how cool is that you can close all the
800.04 -> doors via the key I just think that's
802.44 -> really really cool I love this car
805.44 -> local electric cars you have to do a
807.959 -> sneaky launch so let's do one
813.06 -> so that is not to 100 dealt with in 4.7
816.54 -> seconds now that stands to two dual
819 -> electric motors
820.5 -> creating
821.94 -> 400 kilowatts and 745 newton meters
825.779 -> torque
827.1 -> however
828.779 -> this car isn't about its specs it's not
831.54 -> about its power nor is it about its
833.519 -> handling look it handles very very well
836.579 -> for a car that weighs 2.7 tons right it
840.36 -> is a land yacht after all
842.279 -> but that's thanks to its 48 volt
844.5 -> anti-roll bar system
846.42 -> that allows for absolutely no body roll
848.88 -> well I'll take these Corners in sport
850.98 -> mode
852.24 -> quite fast
853.74 -> and the car just grips it grips and it
856.62 -> just holds flat but it you're not buying
860.22 -> it for that
862.019 -> you're buying this car because you're
864.24 -> going to spend most of your time in that
865.8 -> rear seat
867.18 -> and that brings me on to the reason why
869.519 -> I think the i7 is the perfect example
871.92 -> where a carbine electric makes sense
875.22 -> see with a car like these are high
876.72 -> Executive Car big car
879.62 -> electric motors makes sense because you
882.48 -> don't want an internal combustion motor
884.1 -> making noise you want silence you want
886.56 -> comfort and it is
889.019 -> well thanks to the air suspension you
890.88 -> don't feel any bumps and it's so
893.339 -> comfortable and so Sublime that you
896.279 -> honestly feel like you're sitting at
897.54 -> home
898.38 -> on your lazy boy
900 -> and I just love it and I love it for
901.62 -> that so the BMW i7 X drive has plenty of
905.519 -> safety features it has Lane keeping
908.04 -> Sears blind spot monitoring all the
911.04 -> bells and whistles but one of the
912.959 -> features that I love the most is the
914.76 -> autonomous driving now all you have to
916.139 -> do is keep your hands on the steering
917.639 -> wheel and the car will drive itself for
919.8 -> you they'll keep you in lane and it'll
922.56 -> literally steer for you now in other
923.94 -> countries like the US they don't have to
926.579 -> actually have their hands on the
927.66 -> steering wheel which I wish that was
930.18 -> the case for us here in Australia but we
933.24 -> have to keep our hands on the steering
934.56 -> wheel so I cannot take my hands off the
935.82 -> steering wheel or the car will start to
937.8 -> buzz and give me feedback because I've
940.62 -> taken them off for example if I take
942.18 -> them off slightly now the car will start
944.519 -> to go a bit crazy yep there we go it's
946.62 -> telling me put my hands on the steering
947.82 -> wheel so
949.199 -> unfortunately we can't but in the states
951.48 -> they can
952.68 -> all right let's talk about range because
954 -> that's the most important thing after
955.8 -> all when you're buying an electric car
957.779 -> first of all the car has dual motors
960.24 -> allowing for all-wheel drive
961.8 -> and it has 106 kilowatt hour battery
964.5 -> however the range isn't too bad
966.42 -> considering it's got a 625 kilometer
970.019 -> range claimed range from BMW and
972.779 -> apparently its consumption of
974.88 -> electricity is 18.4 per 100 kilometers
978.18 -> and I don't think that's too bad at all
981.18 -> um
981.899 -> in terms of charging you can go from 10
984.3 -> to 80 in 34 minutes with a fast charger
988.079 -> I wouldn't recommend charging it off a
989.88 -> wall socket because it's just pointless
992.88 -> so in terms of its range and its charger
994.98 -> capabilities that's not too bad at all
996.66 -> and for that I think it's a prime
999.24 -> example where again like I said
1001.1 -> previously where being an electric car
1003.92 -> makes sense perfectly for a car like
1005.959 -> this
1007.699 -> things that don't make any sense in this
1009.259 -> car and I'm just going to say because I
1010.759 -> have to say I have to say things I don't
1012.019 -> like can't just like everything right
1013.42 -> number one everything's operated through
1016.699 -> the infotainment system now that's from
1018.44 -> the regenerative braking to the climate
1020.24 -> control and it's just irritating like
1023.24 -> for example if the virginity braking is
1025.1 -> too much for you for example for me it
1026.54 -> is I can't stand it when it kicks in I
1028.699 -> hate one pedal driving you have to go
1031.22 -> through a number of functions before you
1032.78 -> actually find it and then it's and it's
1034.88 -> just it's just annoying why couldn't
1036.02 -> they just be a quick button here just to
1038.24 -> get to there then there's also
1040.699 -> this boost paddle
1042.459 -> why why this paddle has got one single
1045.199 -> paddle here it makes the steering wheel
1046.579 -> look unfinished and if you're wondering
1049.1 -> what it does what it allows the car to
1051.02 -> do is if you're in say relaxed mode or
1053.72 -> Comfort mode or efficient mode in those
1056 -> modes you don't have the full 400
1057.62 -> kilowatts
1059 -> that boost mode allows for the 4 400 for
1061.94 -> 10 seconds but in sport mode you have it
1063.919 -> all the time why not just have the 400
1065.78 -> kilowatts all the time why have it only
1068.24 -> in a specific one mode I just think
1070.28 -> that's quite silly and then there's the
1072.08 -> steering wheel steering wheel is lovely
1073.34 -> everything about it is great but then
1075.26 -> it's got a center line on it where most
1077.059 -> steering wheels in sports cars have a a
1079.64 -> little like White Strip here yellow
1081.44 -> strip or red for the center of the
1083.9 -> steering wheel in this case BMW has just
1086.299 -> blanked it out instead of just covering
1087.86 -> it completely with leather I just don't
1089.84 -> know why they've done that I have to
1091.7 -> tell you guys about this in terms of
1093.38 -> modes there's so much selection so let's
1096.919 -> talk about them so number one you've got
1098.179 -> personal which is pretty cool so if I
1100.46 -> have personal mode all the lighting
1102.08 -> changes and it's not that
1104.299 -> that crazy but if you hit sport mode
1107.24 -> everything turns red all the BMW
1109.82 -> signature colors come out on the screen
1111.799 -> and it's just yeah it it shows off as a
1114.86 -> very sporty car but like I said don't
1116.9 -> want that in a car like this uh and if
1119 -> you put your foot down you sound like
1120.86 -> you're going into warp speed and that's
1122.66 -> thanks to Han Zimmer remember all the
1124.64 -> music and all the sound effects in this
1126.14 -> car are thanks to Hans Zimmer and it's
1128.12 -> it's really cool
1129.38 -> then if I hit efficient mode which is
1132.32 -> just boring because efficient mode is
1133.88 -> boring and I don't know why that's yeah
1136.039 -> anyways expressive mode
1138.2 -> the roof will open up and then there's
1140.84 -> some expressive music playing in the
1143.419 -> background just to relax you and all
1146.24 -> these fancy colors come up on the screen
1147.98 -> and then the veins in the ceiling that
1150.08 -> all the LED veins start to light up it's
1152.66 -> really cool at night
1154.16 -> um see but it's like an orchestra I've
1156.62 -> put my foot down and it just becomes
1158.059 -> louder
1160.1 -> um
1161.24 -> and then you have relaxed relax has to
1162.86 -> be one of my favorites so the blinds
1164.48 -> close
1165.559 -> this the massage seats come on and then
1168.26 -> you have this relaxing music in the
1169.94 -> background
1171.44 -> um and if you put your foot down it gets
1173.36 -> louder
1174.62 -> but I I don't understand why the faster
1177.86 -> you go the more relaxed you are but
1179.78 -> anyway
1180.919 -> besides that it's cool that's relaxed
1183.14 -> mode then you go into theater mode this
1185.36 -> is pretty cool so you hit theater mode
1186.799 -> all the blinds close
1189.26 -> and then it's like you're in a cinema
1191.38 -> the music becomes louder all the all the
1195.44 -> ambient lighting turns to a nice
1197.78 -> soothing effect so that you're not too
1199.94 -> in your face when you're watching your
1202.22 -> movie on that 31 inch plasma screen TV
1205.16 -> that comes off the roof and also the
1207.44 -> speakers in the back of the passenger
1209.78 -> seats in the back vibrate and massage
1212.059 -> your back when you hit theater mode
1213.679 -> remember there is 35 speakers in this
1216.2 -> car
1217.12 -> and it's all thanks to bows and Wilkins
1220.039 -> great sound system love it and it's just
1223.46 -> insane
1224.48 -> then you hit digital art mode the
1226.94 -> digital art mode is very like in your
1228.62 -> face it's like crazy colors and and like
1232.1 -> everything's like just in your face so I
1235.4 -> would suggest instead of taking the kids
1236.84 -> to Vivid just put them in an i7 it's the
1240.02 -> same thing
1242.12 -> all right so
1244.039 -> I am going to show you guys how easy
1246.26 -> this car is to maneuver so the car does
1249.44 -> come with four wheel steering which
1250.94 -> makes maneuvering this car in the city
1252.62 -> or any tight Space is really really easy
1255.34 -> so and there's plenty of cameras the car
1258.559 -> has endless sensors so if I'm just doing
1260.78 -> a I'm gonna try Park here
1263.179 -> I got a reverse you've got a reverse
1264.799 -> camera you've got 360 degree cameras and
1266.84 -> when you get closer to the things the
1268.1 -> car will beep and and play up on you and
1271.16 -> telling you that you're getting closer
1272.24 -> to things it's impossible to curb a
1275.12 -> wheel in this I don't know how the
1276.5 -> previous people who reviewed this car
1278.66 -> curb the front left tire uh it's it's
1281 -> honestly it's impossible like there are
1282.919 -> so many sensors so many cameras that
1285.14 -> even a toddler could park this car
1287.98 -> so yeah there's heaps of sensors
1291.44 -> uh and heaps of cameras and the
1293.659 -> four-wheel steering makes it easy to
1295.039 -> maneuver and fit into tight spaces
1297.799 -> one cool feature which I can't show you
1300.38 -> guys is that the car actually can park
1303.26 -> itself so what it does is it will get to
1306.799 -> a destination just say you're coming
1308.659 -> home and you're parking at late at night
1310.76 -> and you're and every time you leave that
1313.34 -> spot or park in that spot every night or
1315.32 -> every morning you leave and it's a pain
1317.36 -> in the bum to get in and out of the car
1320.059 -> will remember it and then when it when
1322.22 -> you get back there it will park itself
1323.96 -> for you all you do is press a button the
1325.7 -> car will remember exactly how you
1327.38 -> maneuvered the car to get into that
1328.82 -> specific spot and we'll park it there
1330.86 -> for you and then you can even pull the
1332.96 -> car out of that spot by using your phone
1335.08 -> which I can't do because I haven't
1336.86 -> downloaded the BMW app to get the car to
1339.559 -> maneuver back and forth and so but the
1342.559 -> car is that insane with the amount of
1345.5 -> tech that it has on it that he can
1347.24 -> literally do whatever you want which
1349.94 -> makes this car insanely easy to maneuver
1354.02 -> when you've got to consider the sheer
1356.24 -> size of this thing
1357.799 -> so my verdict well
1360.62 -> let's address the price tag to begin
1362.36 -> with so it is three hundred thousand
1363.919 -> dollars and I know that is a lot of
1365.84 -> money right
1367.28 -> but let's think about what you get you
1369.5 -> get a lot in this car for that that
1372.44 -> Hefty amount of money like you get a 31
1374.96 -> inch TV they're not any other no no no
1376.76 -> car has that right that's like Pimp My
1379.46 -> Ride style they put that in cars so
1380.96 -> you've got a 31 inch TV you've also got
1383.74 -> TVs in the doors you've got so much in
1386.539 -> this car for that that price and like
1389.179 -> let's compare it to other cars we've
1390.679 -> done we did the Bentley Ben take it s
1392.539 -> right that was a half a million dollar
1393.919 -> car and this 7 Series I feel like trumps
1397.34 -> that car and just in sheer design and
1399.919 -> quality too so head off to BMW with the
1402.32 -> quality it's just really really good and
1404.9 -> then there's the statement that I have
1406.52 -> to address that I said at the start of a
1408.32 -> video and that's going to have set a lot
1409.64 -> of Motoring enthusiasts and that is that
1412.22 -> some cars are destined to be electric
1413.72 -> and I think that the 7 Series was always
1415.88 -> destined to be electric you've got to
1417.44 -> remember guys this is not a car you
1419.179 -> drive you get driven in so you're not
1421.34 -> caring about handling speed or or any of
1424.7 -> those things that
1426.08 -> internal combustion motor will give you
1428.179 -> it's all about being comfortable in this
1430.159 -> car and it being as quiet as possible
1432.02 -> and being electric it does that and it
1434.24 -> does it well
1435.38 -> you know so if you're looking to buy a
1437.96 -> high high-end saloon car a big Executive
1441.62 -> Car I think this is the car for you so
1444.86 -> go ahead and put your orders or go buy
1447.799 -> one buy an i7 they're fantastic other
1451.159 -> than that guys let me enjoy my 31 inch
1453.919 -> screen TV and we will catch you on
1456.2 -> another episode of exhaust notes
1458.12 -> Australia ciao
