LA 2008 Live: 2009 BMW 750 Li gets iDrive powered owner’s manual
The 2009 BMW 7-Series made its U.S. debut today at the 2008 LA Auto Show. The U.S. will get two variants of the new 7-Series including the 750i and the 750 Li. The outgoing 360-hp 4.8L V8 will be replaced by the 4.4L twin-turbo V8 from the X6 xDrive50i.
That makes an outstanding 400-hp with a maximum torque of 450 lb-ft for the very-large sedan. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, BMW says that fuel-economy was also improved but wouldn’t give us any specific numbers. What they did tell us was that the 2009 BMW 7-Series will be the first car to get its own “Integrated Owner’s Manual.” What does that mean? That mean your 2009 750i or 750 Li won’t come with a physical book. Instead BMW will deliver the owner’s manual electronically through the iDrive. What happens when iDrive fails to operate? Well, you figure it out. Source: eGMCarTech |

BMW and their stupid futuristic fucking ideas, an integrated owners manual? WTF!!! yeah thats a cool feature but at least leave the book that costs 2 dollars to make if the idrive fails... seriously like what are they thinking, just another good idea implemented in a retarded manner like the electronic oil dipstick.

ok, i went to the autoshow yesterday as promised and as i predicted it was PIECE of CRAP, i mean seriously i was so disapointed that i told my friends that (it was the UGLIEST bmw ever produced) and they all looked at me like a was a freaking alien, they were like (did those words just come out of your mouth) and i was like YEA. i mean from kidneys to the taillights and everything in between, i was so disappointed in the whole thing that i didn't even want to sit in the car, it was really that bad and those kidney grills should be BANNED from bmw history 4 FOREVER. i took one picture of it, and erased it later to take pictures of other cars i hope i will never do that again to a bmw car, but it was really that bad. btw i will upload the pictures later, other than that the auto show was pretty damn nice, MANSORY had the best showroom and cars IMHO, and lambo had the best girls !!!!
