Its unfortunate that to get the gas 7 you have to accept the M Sport package. I think the car looks better in the regular spec, but its only available with the i7

My friend who has one tells me he gets a TON of comments and compliments on it, more than he has ever had He has a Mclaren, he says it gets more attention than his Mclaren,

well he's only hearing from the people who want to give him compliments. the ones who think it's ugly are unlikely to tell him.
There is no doubt I prefer the exterior looks of the S Class...

Timely…audio timing is off hopefully he will fix it.

I use the word "presence" to mean the car has something commanding about it. It doesn't always have to be a large sedan to be commanding - for example I think the newest G80 also has a great presence. And I like the look of the interior but absolutely hate Vegas, LOL! Just you mentioning it I can smell cigarettes and bad cologne and perfume.

Hopefully they will make some big improvements inside the W223 interior at the refresh which should come in 2024 as a 2025 model. My lease is up in November of 2024, although my intention at the onset was to trade out of it around 3 years like I usually do. (which would be this November)

from the article
One look at the BMW i7’s cabin and you know it’s something special. It’s a weird combination of a simple design with flashy details but it works brilliantly. As much as I think the i7’s exterior should be covered with a tarp, its interior is sensational. But don’t just take my word for it, as it just landed on Wards Auto “10 Best Interior and UX” list.
