LOL_AMG It looks like your image(s) didn't attach...
Looking forward to seeing your new pride and joy!

Wow, stunning.
I'm not a black colour car person generally...but that does look great. Love the look of those 22s and lowered, my back complains just looking at it though! (coming from an M5, you'll still feel it is luxury in comparison I imagine!) Welcome to the 7 , you'll not want to go back to any other model now... How do you find it compared to your M5?

I don't know if you're into sci-fi themes but may I call your ride as Darth Vader's car
That's the coolest 7 Series of not one of the coolest

My F10 M5 is on 19's because UK roads are pretty bad and not the comp pack either. I did drive a M5 on 20's with the comp pack and after an hour on some A / B roads I wanted to get out. It was too uncomfortable for a long trip. In reverse with 19's and without the comp pack it's super comfortable. Not quite a 7 series of course but still the most comfortable car I've owned to date. This could be useful for Pelo Cat as he's interested in bigger wheels but also likes his comfort. The F10 M5 goes from one end of the spectrum to being extremely comfortable to the other end where I can imagine on 20's, comp suspension and lowered being too firm for our roads here. Hence if your M5 was on the worst side for comfort there, saying the 7 on 22's is better might still mean it wouldn't be good enough for Pelo Cat. Not saying it isn't comfortable of course, just we've some awful roads in this country so have to compromise a little on the styling / looks to get a car that won't break our bones travelling down our roads |

Completely with you on the ride comfort and technology and value for money compared to any other BMW...on my second as well (but first was an F01)...hoping it will remain so for as long as I can drive! Quote:
I hope you told her to "Never underestimate the power of the force?" Quote:
Safe travels.

As it stands at the moment, the new M5 works out way more expensive than a 760. Not just a bit, but an awful lot. Once the dusts settled and probably a LCI who knows but maybe I'll be stuck on the comfort and tech of a 7 forever more by then. Quote:
Ideally you want to be able to get them and have a means to return if they aren't comfortable enough. Got to try it as it'll be quite a bit of money to drop, don't want to regret it for the ride. Quote:
I'm happy with the 20s that the 760 have unique to them, I think they look pretty cool. I've also no problems with a bit of rubber so don't need the biggest wheels you can fit. A sensible compromise between looks and comfort I think. We'll have to meet up though so you can try mine on 20's and me try yours on 18's if you still have 18's. |

I do love how the 22s on LOL_AMG make the (brake) disks look like a child's toy they are so small in comparison! Those are some massive and beautiful rims. ^ Quote:
Definitely have to meet up, would be great to try another 7 (especially such a special one, hell, I'd be happy to just get a ride...but yeah, happy for you to try out the 18s and princess mode....be careful...you may like it! Back to that black beauty: Its too bad you can't get a red icon adaptive daytime lights setup LOL_AMG...that would finish the look off brilliantly and scare lesser cars from your path!

Don't know about in the US but in the UK the deals on the 760 are stronger still than on the lower 7 series (Which are still great deals) |

May I ask how much it cost for install?
The shop I called sounded shocked that I wanted to them to install them for me- but if I do it myself, I'll have zero idea what I'm doing, and I'll just be wasting my life/not being in a peaceful mood. |

I paid $175 for links install then $200 for an alignment. Honestly at this point I could do it myself since I have adjusted mine a few times since they were put on. It's very easy and just need to measure and adjust little by little.
