Okay you know what, I have always been a traditionalist, I have always preferred my BMWs anyway. The throbbing of a huge engine, the precise steerage – these are actualizations that have embedded themselves in my car conscience. Thus, when the electric BMW i7 pulled up to my house, I must admit i was still skeptical. Just wondering if the very concept of an electric car could be suitably embodied in a BMW brand? Prepare for a ride because this isn’t just a review, this is a road trip awakening.
Fossil Fuels vs. Future Fast Lane: Typically my road trips entail detailed planning as to which gas station I will stop at and background music to for that sweet sound of the engine. The i7 completely turned the situation completely the other way.
First, the silence. It was not creepy at all but rather serene which was a good opportunity to be contended with what a road trip means (and my rocking songs list). Second, the charging stations. Luckily, BMW collaborated with a countrywide chain; charging was easy (and rather guilt free – hey there, emissions free!). Furthermore, the i7 has a much higher mileage capability, ranging around over 300 miles for some models, plus, that would enable customers instead of being confined to the stations for hours, explore new and exciting sites.
Beyond the Brochure: Distinguished Tech Buried Treasures: While the i7 is quiet power (yet how can you ignore a 0-60mph run that is almost intimidating).
Here’s where the “hidden features” come in:
Theater Mode: Yes, I want to make sure you understand this – it says it loud and clear. The rear occupants can adjust their chairs and decrease from the overhead a large, flat screen that is a first-class entertainment tool. Ideal for watching movies or preparing for the next business meeting (you are welcome, guiltless time in front of TV! ).
Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System: This is not just car audio, it is a concert hall on wheels and you can only imagine the kind of music being played by your favorite artists entering your car. Every note, every beat, have the living feeling as if you are in the recording studio.
BMW Gesture Control: I’ll have to connect the SmartThings Hub to an electrical outlet, and then use the SmartThings App on my tablet or smartphone to remap what controls what: want to adjust the volume or temperature? A touch of a button or moving your hand does it. It just feels so now, so forward-thinking, and disarmingly uncomplicated, not to mention vastly cooler than turning knobs or pressing buttons.
Traditionalist Turned Tech-Savvy: Here is the thing: the i7 doesn’t consist of the conflicting with the BMW ethos. Nevertheless, the body control is still tight, the steering filling communicative, and the dynamic character of the driving refined – in a more sustainable manner, of course. Furthermore, the electronic aspects of the vehicles that represent the future add some fun in every ride.
So, Let’s Conclude Should You Buy a BMW i7? This answer will depend on your lifestyle. If one needs a brutal, opulent performance and a hint of the future then yes. However for those who perceive the Beautiful sound of a roaring engine, the i7 well it’s time to change gear. But hey, that is the way the progress goes, isn’t?
This travel to a new environment with the i7 was not just about discovering the geography of the locality, but also the geography of mobility. Well let me assure you that the future is electric and it is in fact quite thrilling.
