Pre-2013 vs. 2013 and Beyond
Hey Guys,
I bought a 2012 BMW 750li and I am now considering stepping into a 2014 750li. Can anyone tell me (from personal experience) the noticeable differences between the MY's. I understand the tech updates for 2013 and beyond and have driven both, but aside from the smoother transmission I haven't felt compelled enough. I would like to hear some opinions but not "wait for the new model release." My deal is on a 2014 that includes my trade. Thanks. |
