BMW I7 Interior

We haven’t quite made it to flying cars yet, but with all the technology carmakers are packing into new models like the BMW i7, we’re pretty spoiled. 

This woman just bought a brand new BMW i7 and couldn’t quite believe what it was capable of. 

Sitting behind the wheel of her new EV, she described it as ‘the literal best car i’ve ever seen in my entire life’. 

Given all the features she shows off, we’d have to agree it’s up there.

In a video she posted to TikTok, Paige Taylor filmed herself testing out all the features in the luxury SUV. 

“Look at the ambient lighting, it’s so bright,” she began. 

“Also this is all crystal,” she said pointing to the control knob. 

“And so is the gear shift and so are the seat adjustments for the car.” 

Futuristic technology in the BMW i7

Next, she panned the camera up to the roof, showing a, quite frankly, massive sunroof with ambient lighting running through it. 

Moving on, she said: “Let’s listen to music shall we?”

Then, she showed off BMW’s gesture control by waving her thumb in the air to change the radio station. 

She then spun her finger in a circle to turn the volume up before muting it with two fingers. 

While she loved it, not everyone does. 

In fact, BMW recently announced it was getting rid of the gesture control technology because drivers said they just didn’t use it

Next, Taylor panned to the 14.9-inch display in the center of the car, saying: “It’s just like one big iPad, look at all of the apps.” 

Then she showed off the voice control, telling the BMW to change the ambient lighting from pink to blue – to which it does. 

“Guys, what in the actual world is going on?” she said. 

But none of that measured up to what she discovered next. 

‘The best part’ of the luxury EV

“This might be the best part, guys there’s a fr**king camera in here – watch this when I smile,” she said as an in-built selfie camera snapped a picture of her in the front seat. 

“Imagine taking photos with your friends and stuff, how adorable.” 

Her review didn’t end there, she went on to show the parking assist, the external cameras, and the head up display ‘which tells you the speed limit and how fast you’re going’. 

“And if you’re using maps, the directions will pop up on the head up display too,” she said. 

“I am literally obsessed with this car,” she said. 

Viewers were in awe of the luxury SUV, but were also snapped back to reality when they realized the price of the BMW i7 which starts at $106,875 and goes up to $169,675 depending on trim and options

“Who said money can’t buy happiness?” one viewer said. 

Another said her car also had a lot of the same technology but at a much lower pricepoint

“My 2025 KIA K5 EX has many of these features as well for anyone looking for a lower-cost solution,” she said. 

A third viewer simply said: “Wow, new dream car unlocked”. 

We’d have to agree – the BMW i7 is pretty dreamy.
