My first week in an F02 BMW 750Li
Hi guys. After several attempts at registering I finally got through the SPAM filters…
I just got me a Sapphire Black ’09 750Li with Black / Oyster interior and black roof-liner, riding on OEM 20” wheels with run-flats. The more sensible “me” would have gone for a “poverty spec” 730d and saved a fortune. This time round I decided that I didn’t want to think that every other 7 on the road was possibly somehow better than mine so I went all out and ticked every box…I can now talk about the options I didn’t get: - Rear cooler – not available on this market. - Ski bag – not available on this market. - Speed Limit Assist – not available on this market. - Heated steering wheel – provided by Mother Nature. - Supplementary Heating – provided by Mother Nature. - Ceramic Knobs – I really wanted the silver ones. - Tow bar – not cool. Impressions so far:
I also loved the side cameras, the smog detector / auto-recirculation feature on the AC, the speech activated menus and phone, the 3D perspective navigation – those cute little buildings rendered in 3D are a nice touch, and the way the seat squeezes you in at the waist and seat belt when you first get in. I haven’t had a chance to use the night vision and high beam assist as I’ve only driven in well illuminated areas. So far I have some issues with the car:
Well that’s all I can think of for now...I think after a week with this car my ego has swollen to the size of a small M-class planet. Cheers! Alex |

I did indeed, and thanks. My first choice colour was cashmere silver but the black won me over when I saw it in person and especially the black/oyster interior with black roof liner and the black anthracite wood. The interior colour has wowed all my passengers so far...

It's not just a 4.4l V8... It's twin turbocharged on top of that

Congrats dude. I hope it turns out to be a great car.
BTW, I love the side camera's on the front bumper. It can be really helpful while coming out from a T junction.

Now I'm jealous, I wish the 335 had done that, or the M3. Sounds pleasant.
