  • this 7 series looks so much better than the current and previous bangle one as well

  • 3:51 - Doesn't even have a tach! Gimme that 7 series...

  • to bad they dont make so good looking bmw's anymore...

  • @smashboompow1 agreed i have no idea what everyone's getting on about. bmw styling dept has lost their minds. the only decent looking veh they have is the m3 and the x5

  • It looks like a 90s Lincoln Town Car.

  • really? 322 hp?Must be VERY quiet.

  • The question is..Will it blend?

  • And after all, who is the star of the show?

  • Guessing Clarkson was in charge of the music there. Great stuff! Genesis made me enjoy this clip even way before watching it done

  • Whatever parts are the same in both cars ... a BMW is for drug dealers, a Rolls has class and will forever stay that way ...

  • @pim1234 BMW's are for douche bags. Rolls Royce is for classy MEN.

  • the Seraph was so far ahead of its time; the 2010 Arnage Final Series had the same tail light arrangement exactly as the the 1998 Rolls Royce.

  • @Riles07 Hope the indicator stalks are built a bit better though :(

  • @LillabetteHane well spotted man that's very true.

  • @LillabetteHane good point i agree :)

  • I'd rather have the BMW.

  • I'm British,and think both cars are pig ugly,there is no way either car is worth that ridiculous price tag.Before any pip-squeak starts squawking,I do ok with work etc,but no way would spend that much on a car.These cars are made for people who have not had to work hard for their money,easy come,easy go.

  • 02:54 J.S. Bach's toccata and fugue starts to play

  • This is what a Rolls Royce should be; stately yet classy and not overly ostentatious. Sadly, the same can't be said for the current Phantom family and Ghost.

  • ... only an english tv program can claim that the rolls is the more desirable car .. its only a name - go and crash a few 911s Jeremy!

  • @kloppskalli Would you honestly prefer that dated average looking BMW than the masterpiece that is the Silver Seraph?

  • @TheUberPlayboy ... maybe the RR is more adorable cuz its got the name and the majestic look but that is already it .........a masterpiece? costing twice as much and still uses the same engine and BMW switches? reminds me of the days when Jaguar sold Ford Mondeos ;-) so - honestly - I'd prefer the understatement of the BMW for 350 days a year and only on the remaining 5 I'd wana drive around in that swanky 'BM - Rolls Roys'

  • Comment removed

  • @kloppskalli damn its 365 days a year, right ? :)))

  • @kloppskalli I guess it's a personal preference; but that's like saying you'd rather wear Armani Exchange than Giorgio Armani.

  • Comment removed

  • The main difference between the Bimmer and the Roller is that the Roller is a timeless design, more like a stately manorial home, the Bimmer, is more of a rotting old shed.

  • Does anyone besides myself think that its incredibly hilarious that they used "fanfare for the common man" at the unveiling? Somebody pulled off one hell of a joke in that one.

  • thats the Bentley Arnage!

  • omg the ballerina was so cheesy hahahah

  • aww what was the star of the show??

  • British cars forever!!!!!!!!

    Yes, they are not very reliable, but they have character... something the germans will never have.

  • It looks like a town car

  • Turn on CC for subtitles fun. (LOL).

  • Damn those people in the UK know how to make cars

  • bmw is better and thats the point,the fact that rr uses bmw parts shows clearly that the bmw is better.cant beat german engineering which is the best in the world.

  • @Henzzman yea,look at what audi did to lamborghini,they made it superb,germans are the best

  • @KPKaccountt Thats a matter of opinion buddy, the germans have taken over loads of European manufacturers does not make em any better than the Japs for that reason. German ownership just gives an image of Efficiency and mechanical superioririty, in reality that aint true German cars are not particulary reliable or mechanically superior, its all image in my opinion. For me the Japs are the best, the only Germannic car i would have would be a Veyron but thats unlikely so Jap all the way for me.

  • @Azureecosse Both German and Jap are superior in a different way.German made cars are solid,and engineered in high spec,while jap cars are more reliable and although they dont come up with those fancy engineering,but their technique always works like the GT-R.But the thing about Japanese cars is that they're lack of effectiveness.Watch jeremy clarkson how japan take over the world on you tube

  • @KPKaccountt Well the effectiveness of the Jap cars i have owned is second to none they get me where i want to go and back again without any drama, have owned Hondas , Nissans, Toyota and i can honestly say i have never once had a mechanical failure or been stranded. I know a few owners of German cars and they have all had problems I would say a Mechanical failure on a German car says it lacks the effectiveness of it image. I stick to my view that people buy German because of perceived image.

  • @KPKaccountt Iam glad the Japs are great car makers it makes the other manufacturers work harder. You will find that in many German marques they use Japanese or Chinese techical wizzardry, in the 90's in the US the American manufacturers were so scared of the success of Jap cars they did deals with them to utilise their expertise, the Names Mazda and ford come to mind. In the UK the Japs totally wiped out the the car making industry. In German and Scandinavia Jap cars outsell German cars.

  • @Henzzman actually it was more of financing. And BMw/Volkswagen clamored to buy RR/Bentley and a new rr/bentley sedan was called for. Since RR/Bentley wasnt itching to spend crazy development to minute detail in a buisness section that they have no intentions on staying in, BMW filled in the gaps as they was actually planning on buying RR but Volkswagen pulled a fast one on them. But from what I hear, the BMW powerplants are actually pretty sturdy as is the 6.75. I guess it's a matter or choice.

  • Man, are car presentations on these shows as corny as the Rolls Royce presentation on this video?

  • @LillabetteHane This 1998 BMW 750i's E38 design is a final sketch from 1991/1992, making its looks 19-20 years old. It was unveiled in May 1994 and later face-lifted in September 1998. The Rolls SS/Bentley Arnage design was likely approved in 1995/1996 for it's unveiling in March 1998.

  • @LillabetteHane They both look very old

  • They did not have lcds in those days so how are they going to fit a tv into a car?

  • @bloximonkey Yes they did. I've seen in person 6 examples of 1998-2000 Silver Seraphs/Arnages with factory VHS TV Screens. Some of them were leather flip down screens or dual monitors in front head restraints. Later 6.5 inch DVD Screens are much better of course, as are the ones in our '09 Arnage FS and our '05 Arnage T with shades.

  • @bloximonkey They had LCDs from the late 80s onwards, but they'd probably have cost as much as the car itself.

  • @bloximonkey They did have LCD TVs back then, and in any case you did use to get 'regular' CRT TVs for use in cars (I had a double-DIN Sony on a while back)

  • What's the star of the show?

  • @tiagoalbion The Ford Focus, here:

    watch?v=u0a7AcSzBXg&feature=mf­u_in_order&list=UL

  • <3 E38 <3

  • Jeremy has driven the new RR ... here it is ... the BMW 750 iL ... Ouahahah Top Gear humour has always

  • I have owned that exact 750iL here, VERY nice car, will be getting another one (2001 though), very nice.... that car was silent inside, not one bit of road noise, and the engine sounded like an aircraft taking off when pulling away..

  • RR looks ok but i love that 7 series much more!!

  • @Vetal83

    The 7 Series just looks like a wide 3 Series.

  • way more beautiful than a Phantom, the 2000 Corniche convertible is also epic!

  • Does anyone know the name of the piece played at 6:00?

  • @JensDeff Arabesque by Debussy

  • 12 cows, hehe. Beautiful car. Prefer the older (90s) ones to the new ones myself.

  • That thing looks like it would be appreciated by 80-year olds that like to say "Harumph" a lot, wears top hats and monacles, and fusses about the dimishing dignity of the monarchy.

  • A judge... in a wingback chair... dead.

    XD HAHAHA!

  • @actionjackson9000 That sounds like an Alan Partridge quote! ("Very Cluedo this house. Colonel Mustard in the drawing room, with the lead pipe. Battered")

  • christ!! my grandad had one of those when i was kid, but sold it coz he was bored with it!

  • what is the song/piece that is played at 2:59?

  • @impactoprofundo

    JS Bach Toccata andFugue in d Minor

  • @MCFractal thaaanx!

  • Genesis. How very cool!

  • now I could buy a used Seraph for $40k, tempting :D

  • Isn't it a bit off to unveil a new Rolls to (American) Aaron Copland's "Fanfare For the Common Man?"

  • Genesis Firth of Forth soundtrack! Jeremy is a lover of good cars and music!

  • 12 cows died to make the seats :-D

  • 66 likes and 66 dislikes,thats 666 !!!

  • @KPKonliner eeeee? are you retarded?

  • @Gurksallad10 no,youre the retarted one

  • As a fan of German engineering, I'd have to pick the 750 any day and tell Clarkson to shove that biased choice of his. However, the organ/piano analogy was simply spot-on.

  • What was the 'star of the show' then?

  • 12 cows died to make these seats (for one car). (7:24) Thats nasty dude..

  • @yaris4fun I'm assuming your a vegetarian. 10 billion animals are slaughtered each year in America for food consumption. I hope that makes you feel better.

  • @DJFG85 Ok i understand that, but you can choose seats made from cotton.

  • @yaris4fun He's exaggerating...I hope.

  • Comment removed

  • i love your uploads

  • £75,000 for that bmw, now I've seen one for £3,000

  • it kind of looks like a lincoln. i like it though

  • I don't know why but I have these soft spots when it comes to British cars but not in Rolls Royce in fact, I'd much rather the Bentley Arnage or the new Mulsanne. Can't say the same for the Continental line up though. They're just expensive Volkswagens and I fancy the new Rolls Royce Ghost.

    And I love reading the comments such as one bragging about his cars and the other reacts and another criticizes another religion. Just makes Youtube more entertaining =D

  • Needs higher picture quality.

  • Firth of Fifth, Watcher of the Skies.... How Genesis can provide such a fitting soundtrack to this expensive mayhem.... wow! ;)

  • they produced an organ. Which plays Bach. Who is German.

    So they made a car with a British badge. With German a german engine, german gear box, german switches.

    What a great simile.

  • so in other words its a crap car..... but because its a Rolls Royce its top of the pack.......

  • really looks like the bentley arnage

  • @j958595 that's becasuse it basically is

  • @j958595 It is ! with some small changes to grill wheels badges lol

  • Two beautiful Cars. 

  • the front in looks like a bentley arnage

  • still like this car in some way better than the phantom.

  • reminds me of a lincoln towncar.

  • @volvo145

    oh please don't insult this car.

    Lincoln??? Please have your eyes checked.

    Respect it.

  • @mohammedmatu oh come on, they do look alike.

  • @volvo145

    Please don't message me with non-sense.

    Yes...a yacht looks like a paddle boat.

    A lion looks like a ferret

    A Rolls Royce looks like a civic

    A bentley looks like a smart car....

    happy now..

  • @mohammedmatu Sorry, but with a name that includes the name of a fictional rapist war-mongering prophet, you cannot be expected to be taken seriously...

  • @discocreator76

    And with a comment like yours...I assume you live by the following "Ignorance is bliss".This is an experiment. I am actually Christian and my name is not mihammed. This experiment has been proven successfull everytime an ignorant blinded fool such as yourself comments. Congrats buddy... you fit the profile..you are a part of the majority of the society..blind..and uneducated..raised by uneducated parents. Open your eyes child, educate yourself and see the light.

  • @mohammedmatu "This is an experiment" Bull$hit!!!! I'll tell you something, I am more educated and intelligent than you will ever be my friend, I know how much of a blight Islam is on the world and for some reason you as a "Christian" (yeah, right!) cannot see this and are on some sad, misguided mission to protect it? You are sad, VERY sad!....

  • @discocreator76 u have alot of hate within you. I suggest yoga, running, or perhaps you need a divine intervention. Perhaps you need therapy aswell. Go bark your illiterate comments elsewhere. ;)

  • @mohammedmatu So why does a "Christian" create a screen name purely to antagonise and "trap" other Christians? You are obviously either a Muslim (in which case I hate and feel sorry for you in equal measure) or a VERY sad, sick and disturbed person... As I said earlier, Islam is an evil religion that is destroying the civilised world and is most certainly NOT anything worthy of respect...

  • @discocreator76 Islam may have a bad rap,but there are alot of good muslims out there. Just as other religions.there are the good and the bad.And yes I am sick lol I am sick because I am not ingorant, uneducated and blind. as I have called you from the start. Read what you wrote.I feel sorry for you that you have'nt been educated.Your parents are mostly to blame.Are they the same as you? Wow.IGNORANCE is BLISS lol You are sinning by judging a religion. But what do you care about sin. Good day ;)

  • @mohammedmatu How dare you criticise my parents!!! My upbringing has nothing whatsoever to do with my judgement and experience of a religion, or anything else for that matter. I have formed all my judgements and have gained knowledge of the things I talk about, and as far as me "sinning" by judging a faith, then you are crazy. Muslims are brought up to hate civilisation, they are taught to conquer non-muslims, kill homosexuals & treat women like shit, that alone PROVES my point perfectly!

  • @discocreator76 Fine you have been moulded into an ignorant person based on simply your OWN experiences so I don't blame you in a way.Ex. If you drove 5 honda's in your life and they all broke down you would have something against honda.right. Do you see something?I agree that some of the aspects of Islam bother me aswell but you have to agree that they're good muslim people out there.My apologies for the 'parent' comment but ignorance is a plague my friend. There is a bigger picture

  • @discocreator76 ome aspects of the religion and culture bother me. Extremists bother me. But do you know what I respect? Any muslim that is kind...any muslim that does'nt let religion brainwash them..any muslim that advocates peace and love..any muslim believes that there in One Lord..and does'nt have to go over millions of rituals to prove there loyalty to God.lts in e heart...not in how many times you pray or what you eat..etc. There is a bigger picture, open your mind to it

    Do you see?

  • Comment removed

  • @mohammedmatu The Quran teaches people to do things that no other holy scripture does, that shows in the everyday actions of Muslims. They are more aggressive, more antagonistic, more self-righteous & less tolerant of non-muslims, They're taught to conquer & kill non muslims & take their land & property (not fiction, read the quran), as Islam spreads like a plague, more & more trouble starts.... Religion let's not forget, is all fictional & the work of man and some men are more evil than others.

  • @discocreator76 "some" is the first word..as you probably guessed

  • @mohammedmatu I'm not some stupid kid that needs educating thank you very much, I dont have my head in the sand & insist on believing some made up shit about a god etc, How can anyone believe in something when the is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER of it's existance? I believe in good & evil & have good morals, I treat others in the way I would like to be treated & don't read scriptures that teach me to hate and kill (like the Quran, & to a lesser extent, the Bible), I dont hate gays and respect women!

  • @discocreator76 I will get back to you about what you said..tomorrow..but I must reply immediately to your 'once again ignorant comment' You said "no evidence whatsoever"lol

    You want evidence??Wherever you step,whatever you breath,your existence,EVERYTHING THAT's AROUND YOU including your cold heart.Listen.don't battle me my friend.Your ammunition is ignorance while my ammunition in first hand experience and faith.Don't msg me again.Good luck to you.May you see what I see,feel what I feel. One*

  • @mohammedmatu You really are brainwashed arent you!! None of us know how life began or what created us, the world, or the animals & fauna that lie within it, you cant say that one god did it, because you dont know... what I am saying is, to live your life based on the twisted, contradictory and often unrealistic ramblings of some undeterminable and untracable scriptures is crazy and dangerous & you must be foolish and naive to do so so blindly...

  • @discocreator76 Yes i'm brainwashed lol. As I have said...don't message me anymore. You're stupidity and ignorance is a disease..infesting within your soul. My job is done. You can be saved only if you want to be saved. Live..learn, open your eyes. We have no connection. You live the way you want.. and I shall live the way I want. Now I suggest you keep to yourself and stop spreading your disease.

    One*

  • @mohammedmatu go and live your useless muslim life you religous loser!

  • Comment removed

  • @discocreator76 Nice!

    Good luck to you my friend! lol

  • @discocreator76

    lol I am a loser because I am One with God. Yes..lol

    Good luck buddy!!!

    Uneducated, low-class, degenerate, uncouth, misinformed, blinded child.

    Good luck in life!

    Don't msg me again please. A person like you makes me ill to my stomach.

  • @mohammedmatu You cannot judge my intellect, my upbringing, my social status, or my personality just because I dont blindly follow a fictional, man-made "god"!!! You truly are brainwashed and shallow.... bye bye!

  • @discocreator76 You're the type who needs to have the last word in..

    to 'feel' like you are the 'man'.

    Let me give you that satisfaction lol

  • @volvo145

    You mean......lincoln wants to look like a bentley.

    Be sure to clarify

  • That was a good analogy (with Piano) at the end..

  • OMG! So glad that no Morris Marina was within striking distance of that Steinway.

  • I own that 7 series. It is still like new, amazing car, my favorite one.

  • @diego750il

    If a BMW is your favorite car..

    I assume that's all you have driven.

    When one is used to mediocre..one thinks that's the best.

    When one experiences something better.. your

    whole perspective changes

  • @mohammedmatu Well, i have driven a RR Phantom and it feels very fucking heavy. I dont need any RR, those are for lazy fuckers who dont want to drive. I assume its your case. I am sorry for you, and i am sorry if you own a piece of crap.

  • @diego750il

    ;)

    Stick wit your civic

  • @mohammedmatu Nah, i dont like japanese cars. Only some exceptions. I will stay with my E38 7series, my 2010 760Li and my 2005 Corvette. Thanks for your offer.

  • @diego750il

    How typical.... bmw and corvette. disgusting.

    Typical scene.... some dudeguy wearing a suit...black sunglasses..

    and a bluetooth device on his ear getting out of his Bmw..oh please. Where is the originality.

    These cars can't touch Rolls/Bentley

    Like comparing wal-mart with Versace...

  • @mohammedmatu I´ve told you that i don´t need a RR or a Bentley, i just don´t like them. Let me guess...you are an unemployed fat with an old Nissan Sentra. Right?. Well, yes i fit with your description, except for the bluetooth shit. I am a successful business man, excuse me if i can afford nice cars.

  • @diego750il

    lol Yes..unemployed ,fat with rusted nissan...and a bicycle!.you have figured me out! So typical...If you think bmw is nice.as i have said before..

    you have no idea what luxury is. If one is used to mediocre...one thinks mediocre is the best. BMW is like the 'Gap' like 'old navy'. WHy am i arguing with a person with no taste. waste of time. !!

  • @mohammedmatu I had a Maybach 57, but i am a person who likes to drive. Those kind of cars feel heavy and slow. Thats why i have the cars i have. I will sell my Corvette and buy a new Nissan GT-R. What cars do you have?

  • @diego750il If you really did have a maybach..much respect. Very nice car. One must be humble. Why do you even have to explain to me that you are a "successful business man". And as for me you already know what I have? rigght?.."rusted nissan, and a 20 year old bicycle...(but my 'fat' 'unemployed' body can't bear the pressure of pedaling). Be humble, learn to respect and try to speak with some etiquette.

  • @diego750il

    Why does such a "successful business man' such as yourself need to explain yourselfto a stranger online?That's weak of you. Why do you have to list the cars you have? Finally you start speaking to me like a true 'business man'. Finally showing some respect..instead of presuming what my career is and my 'body type' lol Just as I don't know you... you don't know me.

  • @diego750il Maybach ? Corvette ? GTR ? i would be on an island with 5 italian chicks not on youtube- if i had those ..

  • @diego750il I have'nt heard from you in a long time!

    Busy busy 'successful business man' right!? So how are you?

    Me...not too bad... my sentra had a flat....and I have'nt found a job in weeks!! lol

    Remember your psychic capabilities??lol

    You didnt respond to my last comment I assume you finally realized that

    you should'nt test? Open your eyes my friend.

    By the way....you should really keep it on the down low. Advertising things you may have or 'not' have is not recommended.Live and learn

  • @mohammedmatu I can see you dont do other thing than arguing with people in the same video...I am sorry for you but i´ve told you i am always busy, i forgot about you and i wasn´t at home...I am going to finish this by telling something: If you want luxury and speed, buy a 7 series; if you want just luxury, the Silver Seraph. I´ve told you lots of times that i am a person who likes to drive at high speeds so i better like the BMW. RR´s call a lot of attention, which i don´t like.

  • @diego750il I now see you have some maturity within you.That's what i was looking for...for you to speak with respect..except for the first two lines you wrote. Lol No need to feel sorry for me. ;) Be righteous. One

  • A RR is not a car to drive, its a car to be driven by.

  • @amogenaro666

    Well said.

    A bentley is a drivers car

  • SatNav in '98... Wow. tbh, I thought it was newer than that.

  • the phantom makes the silver seraph look ugly and oldish.

  • haha but youve never driven one.. the drive really isnt very different... the phantom is a little more sluggish because its so long, but dont be fooled these are quick cars

  • Actually I have driven and been driven in a rented Phantom before but not a SS. Anyways, I never commented about the performance of either car, I just said the Phantom makes the Seraph look so ugly and antique. I know they are fast and quick for their sizes but once again I never said anything performance-wise so I fail to see the point of your comment.

  • sorry man no offence intended... what 19 year old who works at rolls doesnt want to sound important?

  • You see, once again your comment doesn't make sense at all. I'm not 19 nor do I work at Rolls Royce, first because the only RR assembly plant is across the Atlantic, in UK. Well I drove one when my buddy's dad rented one for the weekend for $4300. I don't pretend to sound important by saying that, you're just retaliating in a childish and immature manner.

  • i work at RR... and I'm 19... sorry that's all i meant

  • Like hell the Phantom does...... The Silver Seraph is a GORGOUS automobile! I've also driven in it and it rides like a dream as if you were flying a plane! The Phantom looks like a space ship Batmobile where the Seraph looks like a classy luxury car! Totally SEXY!!!!!

  • @CzapigaKielbasa i agree 100%. 

  • @CzapigaKielbasa I'm more into the classic Examples "Rolls Royce-Bentley" were making in the 1950's

    (the "Silver Cloud" for example at their Factory in Crewe where they used to make Merlin Engines for Spitfire's)

    but this is still a very Impressive & Beautifully made British Car.

  • Comment removed

  • @CzapigaKielbasa Agreed! I sat in the Silver Seraph once! So awesome!

  • @CatcherInTheRye20 Because it is new ... The Seraph is an old school British Luxury car... not a German one.

  • @CatcherInTheRye20 BMW has done much better with Rolls Royce than VW did with Bentley or Mercedes with Maybach. The Phantom can't be compared. It's timeless and will not need a redesign for 10 years from first production.

  • @DJFG85 vw also did well economically with bentley. but mercedes lost with maybach...totally.

  • @blab123oida You are right, but VW sold out the Bentley brand. The biggest seller is obviously the Continental GT which costs about $160k, less than half of any RR, and uses many VW/Audi parts including the same engine (but with turbo added) and transmission. I hold Rolls Royce now to be of a higher standard. Maybach is a great car, better engineering than them all. It failed cause it looked like a giant Hyundai and was sold at regular Mercedes dealers.

  • @DJFG85 hahaha giant Hyundai. Never thought of that, but i like the comparison. Another problem is that in the inside it has way too many elements of the s-class (the old one). At least thats what I think.

  • In the end, if you can't afford the Rolls, but can afford the BMW, go for it! With the Rolls is a huge MSRP, but behind that is huge history and handcrafted beauty. So if you ever want to really understand the price, realize that it's not all just in the name, but in the quality, limited numbers, and the fact that each one is handmade and will never be exactly like any other.

  • Comment removed

  • That's odd, Jeremy picking the inferior British car to the German one. I don't think I have ever seen him do that before!

  • Interesting metaphor. Does anyone know the name of the song that the organ plays?

  • Prefer to a car that is worth every cent I pay for it and not pay for the name and have a car with the engineering level of a limousine of the 80's I'll go with the BMW no doubt u get quality and every cent is well spend.

  • LOL 7 seconds now in topgear its around 4 AHAHAHH i like how technology changed soo fast

  • @51235465789

    Technology doesn't move quite that quickly! The new Rolls completes 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, so it's quicker by just over a second, not 3 seconds!

    What's far more interesting is the fact that this Rolls originally cost double the price of a 750iL, in 1998. You can now pick up a 750i from that era for under £2.5K. Utterly worthless. See if you can find a Seraph for £5K! Minimum is around £35K or 14 times the value of the BMW.

  • I don't know about you, but I'd have the Beamer any day...partly because I can't afford the Rolls.

    Plus, I don't like organs.
