I had a 2016 G12 M-Sport for a few days

[Crassus]

I had 730Ld last weekend and enjoyed a contrasting experience to my 2016 X3. My favorite quality of the 7-Series is its performance on poor roads. The damping is incredible over potholes and bumps. I wish the seats were available on other BMWs as they are more comfortable than my sofa. Lastly the peripheral illumination of the BMW Iconic LED is incredible. I would love to have them on my next BMW.

Here are some photos:

Looks fantastic, can't wait to get mine (G11)

Looks great and shadow line is just fantastic. Is this Singapore Grey? Or Magellan? Going to order 750dX next Wednesday, but cannot decide. Singapore looks darkish, Magellan yellowish...

Magellan looks slightly greenish, quite sure the above is the Magellan, which is what I ordered. Looks very good and contemporary, no regrets.

[Crassus]

Yes it's Magellan grey.

Before receiving the car I could hardly find any good photos of the colour online. The best way to describe it is wet pouring concrete. It's a subdued shade of grey that flatter the car's long body and flat surfaces. When I saw it in the metal I was very surprised by how good the car looks in such a flat colour and without any chrome trims.

Here are two more photos.

This is very helpful, thanks a lot!

Would love to see this color in full, bright sunlight and a closeup or two of the paint. Very promising color.

That's a cool color indeed. I like your black interior too.
Happy Driving ��

OMG that thing looks so long. Is it not difficult to drive on the roads/streets in UK?

Why would it be difficult to drive?

[Nivarox]

I think because of its length.The rear end is sticking out it wouldn't be a piece of mind in tight areas per se parking lots of supermarkets
However, same country also manufacturing world's largest car that's called Rolls Royce Phantom. I don't know if it's an irony or not

Tight roads, sharp bends, turns, horses and donkeys when going through the village i live.

Even it is quite difficult for F30 to manoeuvre sometimes.

I don't think people take their majestic RR to supermarket parking.

That would be a daft action surely

Exactly. This is not the most practical car in some parts of the UK, and that's where the ownership of a second car comes in to play. If you have a signifigant other, they would rather nip about in a Range Rover Evoque than borrow your G12.

This is how much longer the G12 is compared with the "average' sized European car:

Definitely a beauty! Thanks for posting the photos. Am loving my 2016 750i (xDrive / M-Sport, etc.) but love seeing other 7s.

[Redbaron1973]

I wouldn't suggest a Meriva was avg sized.

Thanks for the photos, have just ordered mine with this colour so good to see some pictures and hear that it looks good in the flesh
