The 740i is only 242lbs heavier than the 535i, so most drivers shouldn't feel the difference (it's like hauling a fat girlfriend around). BMW does do a great job at making you feel like you're driving a ligther car. The 740Li xDrive on the hand, is 450lbs heavier compared to the 535i. It feels like a yatch, but it's still fun to drive.
I've been trying to justify the purchase of a 7 for over 6mos. I test drove every model (no B7 yet), even took a couple home for the weekend. I really love the 7, but for some odd reason, I can't let me F10 535i go. I never had issues with short term relationships with my cars (keeping them for 6mos or less), but I had my F10 for 2yrs now.
What cause you to pull the trigger to make the switch?
