As promissed, here are a few pictures of my new car. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to post more at the moment but I will post some nicer shots of the car in the next few days when I get a chance!

The car is just FANTASTIC!!!! The ride is nice, very quiet and smooth even with the 20" individual rims. I LOVE the look of the Platinum Alcantara Roofliner. The black ceramic controls simply look stunning!

Enjoy... I know I am

Wow Wow Wow !!!

That is one of the most STUNNING BMW's I've ever seen.

The Citrin Black with the Platinum and the Piano Black and Ceramic are beyond beautiful I also think the car looks 10x better with the short wheelbase and the aggressive wheels/tires. Fucking beautiful !!!!

Congrats Man, Nicest new 7 I've seen so far. ENJOY

SpotM5, if my memory serves me right, I think you had asked about playing two different movies on the rear entertainment screens correct?

I didn't have too much time to toy with the rear screens yet, but from the looks of it, the rear iDrive controller lets me select either the front dash mounted DVD player, one of the discs from the 6 disc DVD changer or the rear DVD player. That's independent for the left and right screen. The list contained a total of 8 possible DVD (player) sources. I will give this a try tomorrow as I KNOW that that's what my kids are going to ask me first about the 'TV's as they call them!!!

Congrats xDrive50i, looks fantastic. Did you specify the black surrounds for the rear monitor screens or do they not make an exact match for the individual interior colours?

Drive safely now!

thank you Xdrive - I am so glad you finally got your car and enjoying it!

in the us, we have the rear dvd player without the rear idrive - so I think we have different systems. i can select the from the front changer or the rear dvd player, but both rear screens play the same from the same video source

enjoy!! please keep up the posts

If I remember correctly, when you select the individual composition, the rear seat display bezels are always black. Even on the standard 7 series models, there is only a handful that don't have the black. BMW only makes I think 2 or 3 different colored versions of those bezels. I'll look it up in the parts database later again...

I actually like the contrast of the black to the platinum leather. If they had the option of having the bezels match the leather, I would have picked the black bezel

I agree, I have the Black-Oyster two-tone interior composition and I think it looks really sharp compared to the monotone.. I just hadn't seen the bezels two-tone previously.

Congratulations!

Your 750i looks gorgeous...and looks exactly like my 760 individual.
However my exterior is an azurite black...so naturally a bit bluer.

However I am liking the 20" Individual Wheels as well!

Great vehicle....just watch out for those showers

Is it possible to purchase a your car in Canada if you live in the US so you can get all the options offered there?

I don't see why not. You would have to talk to a Canadian dealer to find out exactly if it is possible and what would be involved to do that. You would also need to look into how to import a car into the US from Canada. Your government should have such information online somewhere (I know the Canadian government does have this information online if I want to import a car from the US to Canada).

You would also either have to take a trip up here to pick up your new car and drive it back yourself (woohoo... road trip !!!) or you would have to arrange transportation.
