BMW characteristics is sporty
Great driving experience, great performance. But
To be honest, I'm a bit worry for this BMW 7 series.
Let's go see why.
The BMW 7 series
Starts at 5.7 million thb
Moving up the model range will grant you the petrol plug-in hybrid engine.
And lastly
The top model, BMW 7 Series M sport, filled with features and accessories
Which is priced at 6.3 million thb.
There are only 4 colors available.
White , black, silver and grey.
Take a look at this key.
Which is a 2.2 Inches touch screen key
it is use mostly for notifications
You can check whether the car's locked or if you left a window open.
Whether the lights are turned off, and remaining fuel range.
Personally,
it feels slow and unresponsive.
isn't that useful.
Lets take a look at the interior
BMW has kept its original design.
which is very familiar with previous generations BMWs.
In my opinion,
BMW's design philosophy is more of a evolutionary, rather than revolutionary.
As you can see, the button placements
and screen placements
are still installed in very similar place as the previous generations.
Some would like to see some changes made from BMW,
like how Mercedes-Benz did with their newer models. When Merce changes, they restart with a blank slate.
Moreover, for the built quality and materials quality
It does not disappoint. Giving the car a luxury feel to it.
BMW uses metal, wood
and glass like coating which suits well together.
And
I tried moving the parts, but it won't budge which means that it is fitted perfectly.
Nothing seems to have a problem here in the built quality department here.
The cup holders are a bit small though,
they only fits half liter bottles.
the liter bottles won't fit.
The center console storage unit
has usb chager,
but the overall storage space is still quite small.
BMW is filled with new technology
the BMW i-drive
has given us a lot of option to control it.
Firstly, the swivel wheel,
I find myself using the swivel wheel as the main control 70%-80%of the time.
You also can control the iDrive via this device.
It's a touch pad on top of the swivel wheel.
Despite my poorly written hand writing, the system can guess what I was writing.
Now,
the voice command system
I can speak English with a strong Thai accent.
but the system can still recognize what I am trying to say.
MAP!
The car recognize my voice and command it to the map
Next, the 2 new things that have been added
are the touch screen and hand gestures command.
Honestly, I might need more time with
the touch screen system. Having to reach to the screen while driving, makes me feels a bit odd.
Therefore, most of the time I prefer the swivel wheel over the touch screen.
But
What I frequently use with the touch screen
is the zoom feature. To see further details on the maps, whether zooming in or zooming out.
Moving on,
the hand gesture command,
which is quite interesting to say the least.
You can increase and decrease the volume. By spinning your finger in either directions.
What I like most,
is the customization of your hand gesture
by using the 2 fingers command.
What I use it for most of the time is
to navigate the map back to my house.
Using the two fingers to aggressively point at the iDrive.
You can say that this generation
of the iDrive system is easy to use and very convenient.
Arguably, one of the best in the market right now.
We now have checked over the front seat technologies.
But before driving let's go check out the rear trunk space.
The trunk space is more than large enough.
As you can see,
**Hands Free Access: Allows you to open the trunk without using your hands.**
The trunk opening is
very wide, however the inside is
when you put your luggage in there
It's shaped a bit like a rectangle, it goes in deep.
But, you must be careful.
The rear seats have a lot of electronics and features
Whether it's electronically adjustable seats or the massaging seats
The back seats cannot be folded.
When you're carrying big luggage you might want to do some planning.
The load lift is quite high,
You might have to put your muscles to work lifting heavier items out of the trunk.
The rear seats are extremely posh and comfortable.
The knee room and head room unquestionably is adequate
For reference I am 178 cm (5'11") tall.
and faces no problem at all.
The camera man, which is over 183 cm (6 feet) tall also have no problem with the rear seat spaces.
You can control the rear adjustable seats via these buttons here.
Also, if you think the
The front passenger is hogging too much space
You can move the front passenger seats away here also.
The middle rear passenger seat is
I think it's unpractical.
because BMW made a ridge between the seats for the electronic control arm rest.
Also the transmission tunnel is very big.
Let me move myself there.
It might be...
Yeah, it's uncomfortable.
Don't sit here. It's better just to seat two passengers in the back.
Let's take a look at the rear seat opposite of the driver's side.
In the Mercedes-Benz S Class,
There is an electronically adjustable thigh support
Also an electronically adjustable foot rest.
If you move the front passenger seat all the way.
Personally, I feel that the S Class is more first class than the 7 Series.
Also, all the functions of the rear seats are control via this 8 inches tablet.
It controls the ambient lighting, You can change the color and brightness.
Also the sun blinds,
You can open all or close all the sun blinds in this car.
Or choose to individually closes or open the sun blind.
But what I think is the killer feature is
Massage seats.
There are also a variety of massage settings.
But if you regular go to authentic Thai massage
These massage seats might not cut it for you.
It feels as if the seats are poking at you.
The rest of the functions are basic controls.
Air condition controls and musics.
There is a case.
The passenger used the tablet, but the user left it on his lap
He exited the vehicle with the tablet on his lap, which causes it to fell out of the car and broke the screen.
So always return it to the tablet holder here.
There are two engine choices.
There is the diesel and petrol plug-in hybrid engine.
I personally recommends the petrol plug-in hybrid engine.
Because it's more powerful and economical.
It also can do a pure electric mode (EV mode) up to 30-40 kilometers of range.
If you chose the petrol plug-in hybrid variant
you can upgrade it to the M Sport model.
The M Sports version contains all round exterior M Sports cosmetic enhancement.
The M Sports also gives you driving aids.
Such as the Head Ups Display.
Surround view camera and adaptive cruise control.
How does it drive?
I personally don't feel connect to the steering of this car.
Because it's very light
and it disconnects you from the road.
The suspension
is an air-suspension. Which is very comfortable,
but I must make my comparison to the S Class.
Because the S Class
is a lot more refined in the road bumps and uneven surfaces.
For this car, those uneven surfaces and bumps are still prevalent.
And you noticeably feel them.
But I think this is because
The rebound of the suspension is faster than the S Class.
But since it's like that additionally the numb steering
You don't really notice them.
However, I must applaud BMW for one thing.
The engine and the transmission.
Today we have the 6 cylinders turbo diesel engine 3.0 L
In real life driving condition it's extremely smooth.
If you don't tell me that this is a diesel engine I wouldn't know.
The red line of this engine is quite high.@5,500 RPM.
When you revs it up
It gives a very nice punch all over the rev range as any petrol engine would
The engine is paired to an 8 speed automatic transmission
The shifts very quickly,
I tried to overtake just now,
It pulls revs very well, and it shifts
it shifts as if I knows when I wanted it to shifts.
If I where to up shift or down shift myself, I would have do it on the same timing as the this automatic transmission.
This characteristic is very rare to find it a sedan or a limousine.
For driving features,
I think BMW is very thoughtful about this,
when I change the driving modes, from comforts to sports.
It also changes the instrument cluster design
Also the seats in comfort mode it's very wide and supportive.
But once you're in sports mode, it adjusts the side bolsters to give you more lateral support.
If you ask me
what do I think about this car
If you're looking for a car this size, that's fun to drive.
with a potent engine and suspension that was tuned for driving dynamics.
The BMW 7 Series is the car for you.
