7 Series (G70) [Official] New BMW 7-Series / i7 (G70/G71)

[dalab]

In Matt’s video:
- you can see the cheap plastic buttons for windows
- you can see the cheap plastic buttons for seat adjustments and how they are moving
- you can hear the squeaky “crystal” slat, when Matt touches it
- you can see the fake piano lack everywhere
- you can see the plastic at the drawer
- you can see the cheap plastic at the cupholders
- you can see the ridiculous looking plastic switches for indicators//wipers, like its an 3er from 1990

apparently it's not just that you don't f#ck at all and have no life, you're also blind and deaf on top of it.
Sad.
Now go back crying to your mommy because one bad bad man said something bad about your cheap looking bimmer, again.

Jesus F*** Christ !!

What I can see is that you become more stupid every time.
You make me miss Big Sam

Whats all this talk of plastic! I'd take a high quality plastic material over aluminium any day. IMO aluminium looks and feels cold, has no luxury appeal and it very light anyway like plastic.

Im not sure about the gloss black buttons as Ive not seen them IRL...

The plastic inducator stalks in the G11 are beautiful to touch and use. Heavy weighted and the plastic is soft and matte - thats high quality plastic. Im sure the G70 will be same or better.

I never liked the aluminium buttons in the G11 but they do have a good quality mechanism...

As long as the plastic is good quality, it is completely fine and gives a grounded fundamental look to the interior

You've had a full and permanent ban already for threatening violence against another member, you won't get any further warnings beyond this if you don't behave.

We all can exaggerate a little bit.

It’s just a 7 series, not a Bentley.

What is true, shiny and cracky black plastic ( named funny piano black finish) shouldn’t be mounted, the same as chrome decoration in the exterior.
It’s a story from the past and looks very dated today. Germans still can’t get rid of that.

But I don’t mind recycled plastic or mixed parts with a nicer finish, as far it feels nice.
I remember Audi has been using in the 2000’s a very soft plastic finishes even in their entry level lineup, they felt very premium, even though it was still plastic. It vanished somehow in the last decade.

Well , it's almost the price of a Bentley. And then the M will come , it will be the price of a Bentley...

Bentley’s entry price doubles the 7er, options even more than tripple.
Also different segement, luxury above premium.

But It touches the S-Class Maybach which sits somewhere in between.

The G11 pre-facelift was so boring and weak looking. It definitely looks the blandest amongst the 7-Series family.

 

[Merc1]

Putting it next to the older models really shows how ugly the new one is. Those older models were near perfection. Well except for the E65.

Interesting comparison, the difference in length wow, (I don't know if the G11 is the SWB) but it looks like it side by side, the view from behind of both together is diaphanous, like putting a one-story house next to a two-story one

No , it's not. You can find lots of ~250k Bentleys for sale , brand new , on mobile.de .

And also lots of i7 at ~200k.

If I have 200k , i'd put 50k extra for a Bentley...

I want an i7 , but 200k for a BMW that is not even an M , is just madness...

Base dealer price, that’s not the segment.

114.500 €

You can have two 7er’s for one base Bentley, than are the options.

1.There is no such thing as "base" Bentley.

2.There is so much thing as base BMW

3.If you want to compare a Bentley in terms of price , compare one similar in specs ( first of all , similar engines ) .

I'd compare M760e (hybrid) vs Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid - 145ish vs 200ish base price .

The BMW will drop in value way more than any Bentley.

We could argue all day. Don't know , maybe it's just me. I don't feel any BMW it's worth 200k.

Talk about twisting facts to make a point.

A base Bentley is roughly twice as expensive as a base 7er and it doesn't even matter what Bentley. Take the cheapest. And also pick a market.

New from the official website, not some random car site.

That's obviously not how things work when you want to compare the quality of a certain car with another. The quality of the lower dashboard plastic is not going to change if you opt for a different spec and/or engine. The base car is what you get in terms of quality, and a base Bentley is ROUGHLY twice as expensive as a base BMW 7er, so quality of materials should reflect that.

A base 7er is 100k for crying out loud! No Bentley is near that or even close.

That E32 Alpina above is sheer sex on wheels.
