Congrats, so did you get rid of your F80? Is this a 730d?

Very nice, Congrats!

I'm considering the 7 and would be coming from an M5. Care to share your thoughts on the change from the M3 to the new 7 (aside from everything!)?

Thanks and enjoy the new car in good health!

Mine is / will be Mineral white - how are you finding keeping it clean?

polly · 07-18-2016, 01:24 AM

hi guys
As far as keeping it clean - no issues. I generally wash my car once a week and car looks clean after a week. this colour hides dirt prettt well. the wheels - well that's a different story. plenty brake dust.

It's a bit unfair comparing this car to my previous f80 for obvious reasons. I chose this cause I found myself driving my M3 like a 320 95% of the time - and that's due to my commute. For me i wanted the luxury and technology more than the speed and driving experience that the M offered. I guess if I lived in an area that had lots of curvy roads and less traffic i would have kept the M. On open stretches I am enjoying the speed and torque my diesel offers, so I am not missing the M car that much.

it is actually funny that you say that polly.

I got my 750 not because of my commute (even though it is a LONG 28 miles/45 km one way) but because I don't drive fast. Now I find myself driving even slower, enjoying the DRIVE.

With that said, I have the horsepower when needed and at 450 hp, it is easy to get into triple digits speed easily.

Lovely with M Sport, but why not Exterior Shadow Line?

Redbaron1973 · 07-24-2016, 10:11 AM

Shadowline doesn't look as good on the dark colours.. the chrome really lifts it.

I nearly went Chrome even on my white one.

If I had gone grey - which was my alternate preference it would defo have been chromeline.
