I personally find the new i7 far more attractive than both the 8 series and the melted bar of soap W223. It’s very stately and gives me traditional luxury sedan vibes like a Rolls Royce almost.

I’m doing research on the charging stations. The Tesla access is key. Having access to Tesla superchargers takes my trip from 2 options to like 25

Im just telling you what’s on the website. If that’s an error then it’s an error. That package has a $1,500 or so cost.

I'll give the G60 credit where credit is due - the seats are much more padded and cushioned than the ones in the G30, even though they have less adjustment. Interior is more spacious as well, I always found the G30 to be oddly cramped for its class.

Thats my question, it sounds like the mid point of the backrest no longer adjusts like it used to and like it does in the 7 Series.

Why does this front end look different and more rounded? Is this new for 2024? I think it looks worse than the older squared off looking front of the one I test drove a year ago. Best to get one of these in a darker color, the lighter color accentuates the weird/ugly look of the front bumper.

It’s the luxury trim vs the M Sport trim. In person it doesn’t look rounded like that, it really doesn’t photograph well, I think it’s taking the picture from standing height.

really glad you like it, but that just looks... off... to me. wheels too small... front just beyond huge.



and is that dash strip really pink like something out of barbie?
screens look like someone left 2 iPads there. yes my ioniq 5 is 2 screens side by side also, but seems more integrated.

Outside looks ok I guess but the inside?

I'm not loving it yet. Lol

The way they did the screens kills it IMO.

Maybe I'll change my mind but that's where I'm at right now
