740I or 750IX - some questions for current owners of these models

Hey folks,

Thinking of upgrading from my 2005 E500 4matic. I need something bigger, and am seriously thinking about the 740I. However - being in NJ, am very concerned about not having AWD.

Couple of questions - have those of you who live in snow areas w/ RWD cars had good luck w/ a good pair of snow tires?

For those of you w/ the 750IX - i drive roughly 20-22K miles per year, i prefer to get some decent mpg (thus the interest in the 740i), but what are you getting with the 750IX? If you have the 740I, what is your mpg? I get 20mpg on my e-class, mainly hwy driving...curious what some realtime mpg numbers are for both models...

Finally - just want to confirm - do these cars have the 6 speed or 8 speed tranny?

I read some folks getting 10-13K off sticker in may 2010, were there rebates because right now i'm not seeing any online...

I will take any advice given, this could be my first bimmer...

thx in advance

cant speak for swb but i will tell you now being in NJ w/o awd is something id avoid at all costs. i had a 745, 750, and 650 and i extended my lease to get 750lxi. if it had not come out when i did it would have forced me to switch to the other brands. we get about 20-22 usually. we actually used to get better mileage on our 06 750li, but it did not have the power we have. would definitely recommend.

they have 6 speed transmission. as per rebates, none i am aware of, but you can definitely get some cars at cost if you go to the right dealership. i had prices for my 750 back when it came out in October at cost and my X6 at under cost. PM me if you have any questions on anything.
