2023 BMW i7 my test drive thoughts

[JamalHain]

Did a test drive of 2023 BMW i7 to see if it's for me or not. Here's what I feel about it.... Luxurious ride, quiet cabin, and insane acceleration (0-60 in 4.3!). Tons of tech features with a head-up display I loved, but the main system felt overly complex. Built on an adapted gas platform which caused a raised rear floor and limited cargo space. Still, it's a huge head-turner! Anyone else driven one? Thoughts on the tech overload?

The exterior design is cool, but the interior bling might be a bit too much. I'm worried it could be really reflective in sunlight and become distracting while driving.

I wonder if it uses its signal lights by itself especially when you swerve?

your test drive experience seems spot-on super comfortable, crazy fast for its size, and packed with technology. But like you said all that tech can be a bit much to handle. And the raised floora common issue when EVs are built on gas car platforms, does limit cargo space. It's definitely a car that gets noticed. I'm wondering if everyone else finds the tech interface exciting or just too complicated.

You would get used to it. It is like when we shifted from key phones to touch screen ones.
