Video Summary
The BMW i7 is an electric 7 series with the same size and wheelbase. 1000 miles have been driven in this car in 2 weeks, showing how frequently it is driven. The exterior design language appeals to a Chinese audience. In black, it favors the car a lot more compared to other colors that look like a "granddad spec," and it looks kind of aggressive and cool. The reviewer is changing the 21-inch wheels because they look small for the car. Electric doors have sensors so they never hit anything.The interior is very good. The postmodernist design continues, flanked by an ambient light design that looks gorgeous. The interior has nice leather seats that hug you and are very comfortable. An electric door lets you hop into the car. The seats are massage, heated, and cooled.
A few tech quirks: The headrests may not touch the head, unless you adjust the whole seat forwards. In the climate menu, you can still change the fan speed, even with “auto" selected, which is confusing. The cup holders are not heated or cooled, but the previous X7 offered it. The rear view mirror cannot see the rear well, with the display down. The center armrest fits a protein bar. All of these quirks are nitpicking.
The main beauty of this car is on its interior. With the doors closed, it's silent.
