Der i7: Hat BMW das aktuell BESTE Auto DER WELT gebaut?

That's the next level of mortality, as it should be in a Carmen charging test with three percent reaching the charging station, the most evil system that exists, I don't know how BMW Superlatives show what is technologically possible. It is not about getting as many Clients as possible, but about showing who is ahead. The fight is tough, the opponents, on the one hand, come from Asia, but above all the BMW i7 has to prevail against its archenemy, the Mercedes EQ. At what point is the Bavarian incomparable and where does it have to surpass Mercedes? Who is technologically ahead?

What is currently possible in the world of electric cars? You can check this here in Kamaniac with the MEGATEST of the BMW i7. In the comments, what an ugly block, how unnecessary and inharmonious, we remember the 7 Series. I think the fourth generation BMW was the one from 2001 with the humpback whale butt with this trunk lid attached and with the iDrive controller, why did everyone cry? . and then it became a huge success and the iDrive controller has survived to this day until the 7th generation and many other cars finally found their way and I also say this yesterday, I coldly told BMW to the people responsible for the product as well. hey that thing at the beginning that splits as ugly as a piece of butter how simple You cut a huge piece of a car to size and the more I look at it, especially live, the more I like it, you really like it now, take a look at This monumental piece, of course, is naturally, ultimately crying out for attention, it has to.

Of course, you obviously like it very specifically in this color, but do a small one right at the beginning while Continue searching here in a separate window, go to eavium and configure the car in the new car configurator just for fun. If you don't want to evaluate it, most people can. The car can't afford it. , I know, but just so we can find out what the state of the art is right now because this car is trying so hard to butter the EQs because IQs are currently the current state of affairs, so that the status quo Regarding electromobility, at least what is driven on German roads is fun and I do not judge it, here in Germany it does not yet exist and, therefore, above all, I want to know if. you can take the butter out of the bread and if those German vehicles are really better they are like the Asian variants for so much money and that's why I think just take a look at Ediom, configure it and write in the comments how much money you got.

I waived it at 220,000 euros, you know the list of surcharges, so that's out of the question. I'm curious to see how high you can get it. Briefly about the looks, there are different paint finishes, so there you go. More options than with the ETS I will always reach for it for the reasons mentioned in terms of driving performance, charging speed, efficiency, because that is how it is now two best that compete with each other in the head and when it comes. For colors you have more options here, especially with the two-tone, there is also double color up to this border at the top, different from the one below, that is, silver at the top or black you can choose and you can choose the color below, You can choose between five different colors, blue, red and many others, or three more.

I like the red better in combination with the black above, it's just great, it looks incredibly good, there's something Rolls Royce about it. Everything the car has. something from Rolls-Royce and it must be said that Mercedes can really learn from BMW when it comes to paint because the body design is such that this point here as in the IQs is not necessary, this point here but the line goes straight and You also notice that here, for example, the line ends exactly with the painted line at the level of the lower edge of the headlight, so there is a lot of attention to detail and then you also met this contrast that you made below here. , is truly sensational, but this painting also costs a proud 13,000 euros, so that's it.

Well, then you can opt for this matte finish for much less money. It's also great because you can get rid of the fingerprints without scratching the paint, but. The deeper scratches are very visible here and the matte scratches definitely do not need to be buffed out. Know the case and also tolerate the door if you have one, you can see it in a matte paint job but it suits the car very well. Therefore, the vehicle actually looks like a military car, only the wheels are a little small. At 21 inches, it's actually over, unfortunately BMW says that for weight reasons, because the car already weighs quite a lot at 2735 kilos and also weighs 150 kilos more than the IQ and is also longer at 539 instead of 5.21 of the IQ and Mercedes has 22 inches here it ends at 21 inches for the combustion version of the Series 7, although there are also 22 inches because the Series 7, that is, the i7, is based on a combustion platform but that does not have to be be bad, Mercedes BMW has already shown it with the IX and also with the i4, speaking of which we just talked about this burgundy red because it is very burgundy, look at the online store because November is Blackmaniac month, there are many different offers , so we've narrowed down a few things so everyone can do Black Friday of Black Maniac month, it's soon going to be Blackmaniac month and there are the new hoodies with the most popular motif, no power. of the turtle in burgundy red, nard gray and black.

I just don't have them on now because 30 degrees in Palm Springs isn't exactly hoodie weather in the pines there for example, they're on now but they're not on sale but we had the key finder with my syringe that I lost here me saved your butt again at the hotel so just take a look there are a lot of things in the online store now so like I said five meters 39 is the German standard. The garage owner will be out of luck, but the i7 driver and potential i7 customer probably don't have a standard garage either, but the car definitely belongs more on American and Chinese roads, as the customer distribution on the world map shows. of BMW as only 9% of this total. the car is destined for Europe, more than 40% for China or Asia in general and more than 20% starts, that's here on the streets, the car doesn't look that big here, it's not that big, wow, what a big car You have, it's not really like that here.

It has two motors, of course, front and rear. Currently there is only one variant, the 60, but you should not confuse it with the ix60 because it has the same name, but here you have an m engine in the front. i.e. the BMW shelf size M and l in the rear and the IX with that 60s model with the model name 60 has an XL engine in the rear so it has more power with 619 HP . Here we have 400 kW, that is. 544 HP and 745 Nm of torque, 105 Nm below the IKS. The question remains whether this will be reflected in the driving dynamics.

Does this difference show this lower torque in terms of horsepower? They are more or less the same. You will also receive an upgrade to 400 kW, yes there are three packages for the optics which means pure excellence, I think it is the entry level for 135,000 euros, about eye level. We also have to compare it with the IQ 580. Like At Mercedes, for example, there is no rear-wheel drive variant with a large battery, only all-wheel drive, and then we continue with the M Sport package, which then has a basic price of 142,000 euros and the MSP pro is available which also has a basic price of 146,000 euros and then you have, for example, the one in black, the rear light that looks super, super chic, then this lip of the spoiler that is above the trunk and not closes the edge of the trunk, which is also atypical and somehow interesting, yes, they are black and then at the front we have to look at the kidneys, which are also all black, but the m per package does not mean that the entire car it has to be black.

You can choose whatever paint you want, only the kidney here on the front is completely black, this Orca Kidney choice in terms of size, yes, but BMW really manages to make things like this socially acceptable. Ridiculous pictures where a BMW only consists of kidneys or these pictures of beavers BMW makes it cold as ice and they are successful. In the end, you give this design to these people so that in the end you like it even if you don't like it. at first so I have no idea how they do it, I think it's cool, that's exactly this outstanding feature, whereas now everyone is so interested in this, we make shiny, closed and small, and oil makes BMW be here, this is the kidney you eat or die that's great because they do it with self-confidence so with this per package you don't have the radiator grill illuminated everywhere or the kidney sorry, the radiator grill is no longer like that, but like that in the other models yes.

It is also illuminated everywhere and of course looks great. Of course, here's this Crystal LED that shows how thin a headlamp can be and still has the full range of features of a Matrix LED for me. Visually, I said, I like it a lot. Now and the comments from people here show that the car is very, very well received, but perhaps it is not a reference. There are Americans who judge him, which for me is still a bit yes. It's just this hood. I can't get warm, it's so long that it somehow seems too long in relation to the rest of the car, so the rear and so on, everything is harmonious, just the front area is too long, there is a way I also said the version of combustion, underneath there are eight cylinders but underneath there is nothing, not even a frank, that means that it is completely unused space, so your car is longer, it costs you more to park, it costs you more to get into the garage, you have more weight , so you could also complete here without any problem because you don't have anything there except the motor, but an electric motor like this fits in a much smaller space, so in some ways it is a bit inharmonious, this length, but when Seen from the front and from the back it is incredible, yes.

Well you really have to say it, it's really a big deal, let's go to the charging port, oh wait, here are the doors with the sensors, no, you have the option of the door opening like this when you park at the supermarket, then the sensors They make sure the door doesn't close on the neighbor's car and then you can open the door again with the pressure of the brake pedal, that's great just because. The door is so open that you come from here I have to see that I have the freshest bottle. Don't throw it here, look math, you can't get to the door from here even if I have it. a long arm You can also control all the doors through the screen, which is also a cool thing that doesn't necessarily have to be that way, but of course there is additional technology that can be broken.

You have to see it that way. Many of you are right, the more there is there, the more it can break and you hear the engine when it closes, that's exactly it, then we go behind and also load on the trailer something where the i7 differs from the EQs. That is to say, here we create two tons, the IQ is 750 kilos, so if you want to tow something and you have fallen in love with the IQ, but then it has to take the i7 because here you can pull a lot, so a motor home drives a boat, which is what the i7 controller has, a beautiful luxurious motorhome hanging on the back is definitely possible, on the back on the right is the loading hatch and we will talk about fast charging.

In any case, then at the charging station and then, of course, at the document. the load curve and compare it with the EQs here we have European CCS, this is the American version, something interesting is that you have been using for the i7 for a few weeks. You can order the 22 kW option, which is good because you can fully charge it again in five hours at a city charging station or home wall box if it can output 22 kW or with a juice booster, yes , for new ones you can take it with you and then you can do it.

If you stay at the gas station or something you can still charge up to 22 kW on any route or on a blue three phase socket or at the hotel, but it's also nice if you rent a holiday home like that, you can plug it in and then it's pretty reliable. The charge is resistant to heat, cold and can, as I said, up to 22 kW, now you can order, don't be stingy, order it with the car, I think that's important because it just makes your daily life easier. When it comes to Wallboxes, I can also give you some good advice: it comes from the Wallbox supplier I have, namely KEBA, a Wallbox for a company car and a Wallbox for a company car means that you can charge it at home, but at the expense of your employer. and that is a special wallbox, there are also private ones, I have a private wallbox from KEBA, I will just link everything to you.

At the bottom of the description box there is also an app for it, then you can monitor everything, everything is perfect, yes, and that's a lot to charge at the moment, okay, have we forgotten something from outside? No, I don't think we have, write to me in the comments like you did. You can also find stories of flowers that have dried so beautifullyScratch anda combustion engine in the city. and you use 15 liters, that is a completely different burden on the environment, people like that and now we also want to know one thing about the consumption, namely the turning radius, which is almost a meter longer than the of the EQs and I can also say that.

Why is it like this? Let's try it here on this one. It looks a little like this in this footage, so the Mexican drug dealers area is with the escalation with the old truck or something that we shoot, that's slow, no, that's it. it's already slow because here we have rear axle steering, no one here is as impatient as in Germany, thank you very much 4 degrees 4 degrees of rear axle steering that's not much, especially if you really have space in the wheel arch when in reality you only you have 21 inches because you also have that with the ETS, but 10.5 degrees is fine and I drive that and I'm always stumped when I turn the walls with the five meter 21, how do I turn it and especially with the five?

Meter 39 in the i7, a larger rear axle steering wouldn't have hurt because just by turning the steering wheel you can know that the end is much sooner. A quarter turn on the Equest and it could easily turn here too. We talk about speed now before we get on the highway and we talk about these assistance systems everywhere. The seat massage is wonderful. If only it had a seat massage like that in the Equest, it would be really nice in the back. If you're a little tired or tense, it's really nice, really great, but it's also great on the highway, where we can accelerate immediately and you can make good maneuvers here.

With the car, it feels like it's a BMW and you realize that and now I'll tell you why Chinese or Asian cars are just different than German cars, you notice that with every kilometer you drive, that's just a BMW and it has to be something that is much more expensive, but We don't believe in the illusion that Asian vehicles, wherever it says, be careful for the Germans, yes, for the Germans, ultimately they are amazing, so they drive really good. You have seen that it is very easy. Just stop by for a moment and it's just a BMW and for those.

Who cares about money, it's fine if you buy a Neo, I'll say it that way, but then you will notice the difference with an Asian vehicle, we don't have to worry about that for it to be so comfortable to drive now. Of course they have to be zeros and that's kind of dead you have to go in here to get zeros yeah single blast now reset that somehow you can't do that here and now let's see what we need to get us to drive 72 miles of driving comfort. You no longer take anything away from me, I think, not even 0 0 to offer.

You have to do that first. For me, it's IQs, I'm not saying it because I drive the car, but I'm driving it because that's how it is. which is currently the best electric car in the world. The bottom line is you'll find out later if that changes now and that's just down to ride comfort, acoustics and power and I also think the power is on the bottom. a little less here because we have 100 Newton meters less torque with almost the same weight or a little more weight, how does the cruise control react when we approach behind someone?

Good, very good, so now we blink again and want to leave, it does not use the blinker as an impulse to accelerate again, which means I have to do better when there is no one behind me. Now he accelerates upwards and he does it very carefully, yes, you have to know that. Of course, the tipitopy steering assistant is not so firm, the steering wheel continues to turn with it, of course, now it slows us down because the descent is approaching. Of course we also have an adaptive cruise control system that responds to BMW speed limit information. also a manufacturer that depends on mobile eggs like the other manufacturers except Tesla, which has been promising for 28 years to introduce a signal reading system, which unfortunately does not exist here, so Tesla already reads the signals that it shows me below, which does not I think it is so well resolved.

Now, like in Mercedes, these augmented reality arrows that appear on the head-up display are no longer as graphically complex as in Mercedes, so it really feels like we've flown through the hyperscreen. But above all, even if you don't use the hyperscreen in the Mercedes, you have the larger vertical screen blown up like this, here they are only shown in grayscale in grayscale, yes, then I am missing a traffic light screen that when you brake on the traffic light, the Mercedes appears above them. The top camera shows the traffic light so that you can see the traffic light if the roof line covers the traffic light, but here that happens less because it is also clearly noticeable that the edge The roof is not lowered as much as on the Mercedes, which means that here I can see better and I have a lot more space, look, I'm 1.88, you still have a fist, which doesn't really happen with IQs. , but here we also have a 0.24 CW value instead of a 0.20 CW value, that's a big difference exactly which is also important to know, so we have a lot of configuration options here, again when it comes of driver assistance systems.

Yes, you can really set an incredible amount, you can even set a damper on the speed limiter for speeds up to 40 km/h for higher speeds, so you have two different fatigue warnings, so to speak, like one speed warning of glass. , so you won't be short of settings here that are really cool. For example, I also identified the engine sound from the iconic Hans Zimmer sound, which bothers me quite a bit when accelerating that it is loaded here, these are very, very important points. , look at the battery in pre-state, which means we can also start the battery conditioning here with the push of a button, which means you describe it very well here, only then in German heat the battery to charge it so that it has the perfect charge. speed, that's great because you can do it or you can skip it, turn it on once, that means you can turn it on now to charge, so if you're driving in the winter, for example, now, why not? because it's 26 degrees or you do that.

It's just not like that. and the good thing about this is that we are not driving like now and we are not wasting additional useless energy to precondition the battery because we don't need it at 26 degrees, the environment does, so the temperature of the battery is usually the same as the outside air temperature and here it is only 26 degrees, that's why we can do without it and that's why it's so good that it's available here, but in Mercedes you can even have a fan here that makes noise. , so you can adjust the volume of the cooling on the charging station if you are in a residential area where it is cold, it doesn't charge as hard, but it also doesn't charge as fast, so you can do that here because I'm guaranteed to forget that in the charging station, adjust whether to release the charging cable after the car has reached its charging destination so that others can disconnect it and charge themselves.

The problem here is that you can of course take the cable with you. I can also set a charge target here, so that's cool, you can actually do that, I usually just want to charge up to 80 percent, I don't know, or whatever, that's also a really good limit for AC, how many amps and here. you can also set if you charge at night, for example when you plug it in, great for the wall box, great in Switzerland, useless in Germany, in Switzerland you have night rates so you pay less cents at night than during the day or in Germany actually it's not like that, the price of electricity at the utility company is always the same for me, by the way, I love the

auto

motive industry, this is how you make a lane change assistant, this is how Tesla works Mercedes, everyone can learn from that, turn right again, attention, it always works with my IQ Unfortunately, somehow you don't see how fast it changes lanes, that's why I hate lane change assistants because they are always slow and those behind you go crazy. because they think it just stops and the lane change assists do it slowly here, not here, it does it very well and even does it better than any other car I've come across, yes everyone, so friends, 16.4 miles in one direction in the other direction.

It took us 14 minutes, that means we have an average speed of 100 km/h, now we need 23 kilowatt hours, that means yes. We were actually going downhill, we just didn't notice it, but conversely, it means that if we compensate for the topography, add it and divide it by two and we get 19 kilowatt hours of consumption, you can say that that is the IQ level and that's exactly what I meant in the static world premiere. I don't know how BMW manages to be marginally inferior. , but we also have a much worse Cd value, and let's not forget that BMW always somehow manages to build a car on a non-electric platform that somehow reduces everything in terms of efficiency, and the i4 already does that.

The IX already does it. that, now the i7 Bravo also does it, very good consumption, 500 kilometers of highway at this average speed in Switzerland, for example, cost a small extra: 102 net kilowatt hours are, therefore, 102 net and not 105 as with the IX because they have the prismatic cells here. Cells that are flatter, I will show you my display of how it looks in contrast to the IX where they are taller, these prismatic cells but for me that is no excuse because with the EQ you also have 108 kilowatt hours and also you have a very flat design, even flat.

It's not a real excuse for me that we have 102 kilowatt hours here, so friends, according to your status, just as you would do in a Carmen video during the load test, you arrived at the charging station with three percent. You can write to me at the comments in which other video you did this. You haven't seen it anywhere because the Kamaniac is the only one that drives cars completely empty, to the point of exhaustion, since. I said, three percent. I have something very interesting for you here regarding the topic of charging, and now you can write what you can in the comments.

Think about it because we don't really have any of that in Germany. We are here at easygo, almost loading. Each pillar has its own name. In fact, I think it's a very nice charity. That's Devin. I have no idea what her name is Liliana and that's easy. File America you can actually say that the electric File America is the counterpart to the ionity here in Germany and because there are already a lot of new people seeing it here, but I think it's also interesting for those who just want to know what it can do. How much does 100 km cost?

I'll tell you what it's like in the BMW. It's part of this joint venture that actually expands it together with Hyundai Ford Kia Mercedes and so on and of course you benefit from reduced prices, that. It is in the first year. If you pay 35 cents per kilowatt hour, if we now calculate with 19 cents so as not to miscalculate due to jet lag and I don't want to miscalculate here, then that is a pretty high price per 100 km. on the highway because for those 100 kilometers you pay €6.65 but even if it were 9 euros you are far from that if you compare it with a '67 BMW, so even with diesel you will not get that price per kilometer from the first year onwards, when the first year ends.

You have a basic rate of 13 euros per month with ionity and then you have, so to speak, beyond these 35 cents per kilowatt hour, i.e. at 13 euros per month, long-distance trips would be worth more than you can definitely say and what I wanted to say is that it's different here. If you go to this application, you can choose between the price display and it shows you different prices at different times of the day. , so 37 to 56 cents per kilowatt hour depending on whether you charge in the morning, midday or evening, a pretty good start, what do you say?

Write about this in the comments because charging providers and something like ionity in particular are looking here. And you could take that as a starting point. I think it's a very interesting principle and then I told you that we will talk at the charging station, more about the charging capacity, about the fast charging capacity, which is a bit like the flap. You close it, I don't think it's that elegant, but it's fine with the EQs. It can reach 195 kW because it has the same charging technology as the IX. That is the peak load, that is, the maximum achievable loading speed, but that is not it. all because how long does it last?

That's the question here and that's exactly what I'm trying to document now. We have very intense sunlight. I hope I can do it in the column with the GoPro, we are at 3%. from empty to 80% that's exactly what we're going to test now green watch Netflix News App Store Prime Video this is kind of like on Dory like so I just wanted to ask you write in the comments how you know I think the car works at the charging station but I think this excitement here has more than shown, horny guys who even now have offered to bring us something to drink from there, just great, that's how Americans are now, for example, we've done 80% Be careful, I'm telling you nowoffer new vehicles, used vehicles, also demonstrators, of course, also our cost calculator, yes, where you can see, okay, now I drive a BMW 7 Series diesel, how much cheaper would it be with an i7?

So I've had it. Many viewers say that no one can afford it, that is not true, because otherwise the sales figures for such luxurious cars will not be what they are and there are also reasons why people still buy a BMW, a Mercedes, an Audi or a Porsche. and not American or Chinese brands, although they know that they are available for less money, so there is a reason and that is why you have to live and let live, it is a better car, yes, and perhaps even the best in this segment at the moment next to it of the EQs, even if BMW probably doesn't like to hear that because they say we only have luxury in electric mobility, that's simply not true.

I know there's EQ and he's a tough competitor even though he's been hanging around. on the street for a year, but somehow it seems a little more difficult, I don't know, it's kind of difficult. Write it in the comments. Which would you choose between the two, the EQ 580 Formatic? i7 xDrive 60, I'm really excited to hear what you say about it in terms of feel and looks and then I'm happy you were here with us in Palm Springs. It was a wonderful two days and of course, We'll see each other again in the next video so I'd love for you to click subscribe, that's the little logo on the video in the bottom right corner, you won't miss any more videos and I'm doing a favor because they are channel they can grow a lot thanks to these heights and quite nice with the oil now we are going to the airport and we will see each other again soon we were
