it's time for show-off Sunday, where everyone has a chance to show off their
own car, and here's this week's winner, I'm here with my brand new previously
owned BMW 760li 6-litre v12, I think it's six litre, but it's a v12 in
any case, filling up for the first time the fuel tank, it already shows its eating
16 gallons, 17 gallons and it's still the take it more, so not sure how expensive
this is but it's already exceeded 50 dollars to fill up the tank, so it's a
let's see what a big v12 can consume, it consumed nearly 22 gallons of
fuel at a cost of $60 to fill up, and I'm in Virginia right now which is where I picked
up the car when I get back to New York that would have been about a 75 dollar
fill up, a lot of the features that you find in every car are on here too, except
here they're a little bit different on this BMW 760, for instance the High Beam
stock, when you pull it back to flash somebody, it works like a normal car, but
when you push it forward to leave it on, it will use the
high beams if there's nobody in front of you, but there's a little optical sensor
that checks for people's headlights oncoming and it will automatically
switch to the low beams, if there's oncoming traffic, so you don't blind them
and then it'll switch it back to the high beam when they drive away, obvious
you could turn that off if you really just want to blind everybody, but it's
really cool you can drive around your high beams on and
not worry about blinding any oncoming traffic, this is not the first car to put
a refrigerator between the back seats, but in addition to the refrigerator, the
center console in the front, is heated and air conditioned depending on
whatever your heat and air conditioning settings are in the car, so if it's
winter and you're running the heat in the car, you can put hot food up
here and it'll stay warm and cold food back here and it will stay cold, that's
pretty cool
this is one of the few cars from 2006 that had night vision on them, but the
thing is the cameras down here, so you ask yourself what happens when it snows
and snow builds up here, BMW thought of everything, the lens is
heated, so every modern car has air conditioning, but not like this
this right here is an automatic recirculate button, what it does is it
uses the smog sensors in the exterior of the car to sense the air quality
outside and if there's too much carbon monoxide in the air outside from
other vehicles, exhaust gas or whatever, it'll automatically switch to
recirculate and then back open when the air is clear, this little icon here is
the symbolic of the condensation filter, it senses how humid it is inside the car
and will automatically turn the defrosters on before the windows fog up
and then shut themselves off when the air dries out a little bit, this button
right here, is the neatest one of all, you can shut your car off when it's
wintertime and still get heat in the car so long as your engine is warm for up to
half an hour, you shut the car off, you push that little button right here, and
the heating will turn on using the residual engine heat, seriously this is
the coolest car, another neat feature of this car is it's got complete side
window shades everywhere that are powered, they just go up on all the
windows, it's just pretty cool, and unlike other cars they stay up when the window
goes down, that I've never seen, so you can get air and keep privacy, the seats
in this car are so sophisticated that it's downright amazing, check this out
these are the controls just to move the seat around over here, and this knob and
these are the seat heaters, seat coolers, and this is something to keep your butt
awake when you drive it, it alternates which side of the seat is lifted higher
than the other side, it goes like this as you drive but it
really slowly so you barely feel it just to keep your legs from falling asleep
pretty much every part of the seat is adjustable, including this which
makes this control the bolsters, this is a six way knob, you can push it
forward, back, up, down, or rotate it this way, and each of these control six
different things, the bolster on the seat here also squeezes you and hugs you if
you want it to and then when you open the doors, don't know if you could see that but
they release and let you get out of the car, now some cars today do have
adjustable back seats, but I don't think they're like this, heated and
air-conditioned rear seats, and the option by pushing this button here to
control the front seat and get it out of your way, and you have full controls
you can actually adjust the bolsters and
everything from the back seat just to drive your front passenger crazy, this is a cool
car, it does have voice control and yes you can talk to your car if you're
really lonely, the attention to detail on the interior of this car rivals that of
any British or Italian luxury car, there's exposed stitching all throughout
the suede headliner, Alcantara, but they call it suede, there is beautiful wood
trim just throughout the car in lots of places where it's not even really
expected throughout the car, I mean center console the rear center console
behind the heads of the rear passengers, just really beautiful and well made
interior, distance cruise control, it'll maintain the distance
between you in the front and the car in front of you which in New York City is
amazing, see all I do is I put the cruise control on some very high amount, and
then I turn it on and as the cars in front of me are we going bumper to
bumper traffic, it'll keep the distance between them, the only thing is it does
turn itself off when you go below 10 miles per hour
but so long as the traffic is flowing, it's basically an automatic car, yeah
Tesla this one's for you, so most modern cars have plenty of vents
for the heating and air conditioning, but this car takes it just that little step
further, so it does have all the normal ones like the center two vents, the side
to vents on each side, and the ones that blow on the window and
the one that come out on the front windshield and out the footwells down
there, all the normal ones as well as the two back here that to blow on the
backseat, but it also adds side vents, floor vents down there for the rear, and then
get this, ceiling vents both here and here with independent controls for left
and right side rear passengers, that's just fun, then this car has just a long
laundry list of features and things that are exquisite and unique to it
there are subwoofers underneath both of the back seats, two of them, there are
doors that automatically hold themselves wherever you leave them be, in
normal cars you get these little notches in the metal piece there, this
one uses an electric actuator right there, so wherever you put the door
that's where it'll stay even if the wind is blowing which it is right now, look at
that, just stays wherever you leave it, it doesn't slide back it doesn't do nothing
now it also has soft closed doors, so you could just do that and it'll close
itself, the trunk will open and close by remote or by pushing the buttons on the
car, it will just do all these crazy things it's phenomenal, among the neat
features this car, is something you can only do from the iDrive, you simply tap
into climate control, and use park the car as the option and what you get there
is the option to set a time for the car to turn the vents on while it's parked
so if you know you leave the house at the same time every day, you can air out
the car before you get in it, so a big v12 six liter needs to have manual
shifting right, so you put it into manual mode, and then these buttons
here downshift and the buttons on the rear of the steering wheel up shift, it
works really well because your hands are naturally in the position to press the
back of the wheel and the front of the wheel and you don't mix it up because
the buttons are on opposite sides of the steering wheel unlike those paddles that
spin around as you turn the wheel
I'm in traffic a lot in New York City, and one of my favorite features of this
car is the automatic parking brake, you simply press this little button here to
activate it, it lights up green Auto P over there, and then as soon as I come to
a full stop, as I'm doing right now, green turns to parking brake and I can release
my foot from the brake pedal and the car doesn't move anywhere, to make it go
again I simply touch the gas pedal a little bit and it releases the parking
brake, and it starts rolling and moving, it's the greatest thing it's kind of
like driving an electric car it's really neat,
well that was this week's video, and remember to have your car video
