Just test drove the new 7 series

just drove the new 7 and wow is that suprising. very quick off the line for being something like 4400 lbs and great handling (like you'd expect from a Bimmer). The features are great, very high tech and if only the navi weren't as hard to get around, the iDrive isnt as bad as some people say. alls it takes is some practice. the iDrive doesnt make any annoying noises unless the BMW phone is not connected but i can live through that its only 3 beeps when you start the car and then no noise unless you put the navi on. when the navi is on it may say a few things to you. the stereo is outstanding. the leather is BMW quality so it's really nothing new there. Huge interior and leg room. price is alot but IMO worth it if you get the 19's and sport pkg. very good competition with the S500 and S430. test drive it sometime.

this is just my opinion tho so i urge you to find out for yourself before you all flame it. looks is not the whole car.

We know it drives well, if you can stomach the styling.....its a great car. People are flaming the looks.

You can be sure, if I don't like the way a car looks....don't care if its the best thing since sliced bread (I wouldn't buy it).

Ya I thought that too from the pics that were shown on here. But I saw one today while I was getting the CLS washed.

It was badass with the wheels this guy has on it! Also saw on at the auto show today too but it didnt look nearly as nice.

I saw it as well at the KC Auto Show on Thursday and I didn't think it looked as bad in person. If I was in the market for a car like that, I'd have to go with the Audi S8 that they had there.

I think the new 7 looks great...except for its ass. I'd seriously rather look at Rosie O'Donnel's butt than the 7 Series'. BMW really messed up there.
