i drive a 740Li, havent driven the 750 but i cant justify a $20k price premium here with the same amount of equipment. Besides, my 740 does 0-60 in 6secs.

it doesnt mean if one drives a 740, he can barely afford the 7, the analogy applies to those with 750s then that they cant afford the 760 and so on....

case in point, a 740Li in the Philippines retails for US$211,000 excluding insurance+registration.
