The new 2016 BMW 7 series is a huge disappointment for some and a nice surprise for other car enthusiasts


2016 BMW 7 series previewRecently BMW released their new luxury sedan - the 7 series. From what we first saw we can say that this brand new model is more of an evolution over the previous generation rather than complete overhaul. Unfortunately, the new 2016 BMW 7-series looks just like any other BMW that we've seen in the last couple of years, it is boring, not revolutionary and easily blends with much lower costing brands like Hyundai or KIA.

Innovations

Despite the boring design BMW made an effort to load this car with plenty of innovative features that should impress the rich car buyers. 
  • Remote self parking. One of the most impressive is the ability to self park the new 7 series through a smart touchscreen remote control. 
  • Laser light. BMW also stresses a lot of attention to their new laser light technology which should significantly increase the visibility in night. 
  • Light carpet. Some of you may find this feature very attractive - a LED light carpet welcomes you before entering the vehicle.
  • Panoramic Sky Lounge LED roof. This option is very similar to what we previously saw in some of Rolls-Royce's models. The panoramic roof basically consists of many LED diodes which can simulate different sky patterns. 
  • Touch-screen iDrive. The most popular infotainment system got a major upgrade and now relies on buttons and touch-screen as well.
  • Bigger Heads-up display
  • Gesture command. If you are asking me, this is one of the most ridiculous features in this car. It basically gives you the ability to control different features (e.g. increasing audio volume) through gestures.
  • Next generation engines. BMW claims that the new 7 series will be provided with some of the most energy efficient engines to date with extremely low carbon dioxide emissions. Of course dynamics will be on high level as well.
The all new BMW 7 series will hit the showrooms in the beginning of this autumn and despite the conservative design I am sure that the Bavarian brand will make huge sales. Many other BMW enthusiasts will remember with nostalgic feelings the models from Chris Bangle's era that were so controversial but still a pure BMW experience.

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV review

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV price, specs and review Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A  Full HD LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A review - today at our consumer blog we are going to take a look at one of the latest 42-inch Sony Full HD TVs which offers great picture quality and will suit best everyone who needs an excellent home cinema experience without 3D effects. Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the  KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.

By

This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.
