2023 BMW i7

a bit of an optical illusion i think... the new one lacks the lightbar and has the ugly huge black chunks lower left/right and black roof. license plate down low also makes it look taller. but assuming the pics are roughly equivalent field of view, the dimensions don't appear to be much different.

After having seen the car in person, the rear is actually worse that the front IMO

Its not the physical dimensions, it’s the styling in the rear. In person the car doesn’t look oddly tall anywhere but the rear

It's 61 inches tall. That's the same height as the new raised Toyota Crown. 3 inches growth in height is huge.

You will think differently when you see them side by side in person. The car sits up higher because the platform needs to be able to accept a battery pack. It's the one major downside of what is otherwise a wonderfully executed convergence platform. The i4 has the same issue.
but yeah, batteries have to go somewhere. i personally don't think a single platform to do both ice and ev sedans makes sense, but i get that there's a big cost savings to the manufacturer.

this review shows the i7 in its full bad *** capability.
150mph on autobahn. no problem.
front seat, back seat riding. rear screen is bonkers!
even looks decent in dark blue with black trim hiding the ugly front mostly.
enjoy...

"Is this full power??" He didn't say it in a good way.
