Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of the electric car:The BMW i7 xDrive60 is currently the most powerful i7 available, but a faster M70 version is coming. The 7 series also has petrol and diesel versions. This car has been developed from the beginning to have electric, petrol, and diesel versions. Hybrids are the M60E and 740d, the last one with 300hp.
It is difficult to review objectively, as the reviewer needs to be based on facts and finds the looks questionable and in the wrong direction. The 7 series was intended for gentlemen with sophisticated taste, who desired a comfortable car that still felt like a BMW, distinguished and well-handling even if big, the I7 is not.
The car is enormous, 5.39 meters long, and is only available with its wheel base of 3.12m+. Parked next to a hatchback, it resembles a Rolls Royce Phantom.
The nose is hideous. The M-sport package includes black stuff in the bumpers and more aggressive styling. This car needs a chrome delete. You can order a two-tone paint option for 12,500 euros.
The car has 21-inch wheels with Bridgestone Turanza tires, and M-sport brakes.
There is air suspension, stabilized by a 48V system. It has rear wheel steering.
Driving feels detached. The steering is weirdly light. The reviewer doesn't feel like turning the wheels. The rear seat is impressive. There is a big trunk.
The interior has a very large steering wheel. The new iDrive system has lots of apps, and it is difficult to find things. The number buttons have been removed. There is Marino leather and the headliner is very soft to the touch.
The Bowers & Wilkins audio system is amazing.
The automatic doors can be operated from the key.
The range for the battery is 600km, with charging in 35 minutes. The top speed is 240km/h, tested to 150km/h in the video.
The 100-200km time measured 10.10 seconds.
In the rear seats, where you will feel most of the luxury, you can almost stretch legs, can access Prime video and other apps from a touch screen.
The ultimate "lounge position" in the rear is very nice. This is because it delivers that "something." If you sit anywhere else, the car is not great. From other spots, besides the rear seat, it feels like a letdown. The review concludes that from all except the back seats, it is less appealing.
