That M down the grille looks bad. I had one on mine when I bought the car and the silly Bm salesman was telling they look nice. Nice clean look

I'll probably end up with black but it's a Nappa and on the M760Li the Merino Individual leather is a free upgrade yet not sure there's a colour I could do. Shame.

I was told some colours are not available on 730s . Mine is Singapore Grey and when I bought last year there were only 98 cars in the UK in this colour. I wanted a 750x M but like you said all in white or black or LWB. Most of LWB models are specced by cab companies or some private clients.

We didn’t get any LWB 750s. We got LWB 740s sadly, I wanted a SWB one but sadly there weren’t any. I was looking at some 750s but after hearing reliability issues I decided to stick with the LWB 740 petrol. It is definitely a long car though... The new 7s have a SWB 740 which I think is a perfect all round daily🤝

One of the best wheel combos on the 7. Looks great.

My newest addition to the bmw spree of mine. This is my 3rd or 4th 7 series, its quite the obsession. Looking to change out the rims to make it stand out more and overall present itself more aggressively. Carbon Metallic black, ZDA executive package and M package.

But having seen them in person several times and with the black ones fitted to your lovely 7er, they do look good!

Have you played with the first photo or have you replace the lamps in the carpet light? I've never seen it look that bright before.

For reference this is what mine looks like. Yours appears way brighter and I had washed the light area prior to taking the pic.

No I have not edited any of the photos or replaced any lighting. This is how I got the car, it's quite bright at night, precious owner could have coded it to be brighter but this is how I received the car.

Thanks. Didn't know it could be coded to be brighter.

I think mine is bright enough. Just wondered if yours had been altered. May just be your camera/phone overcompensating.

By what I know it hasn't been altered. Could very well be my camera.

The brightness can not be adjusted by coding. Under the front side of the side skirt, you have a hole in which the light (projector is placed), there is a protective glass layer to prevent dirt and grime to get to the LED, in many many cases this glass brakes and falls off completly highy dimming the light output.

You need to see if this glasss is there and clean it with a microfiber cloth. If it is not there take a thin screwdriver wrap a microfiber cloth around it and gently clean the hole where the LED's ia located and do that a couple of times and you light output will be like new. (Above in the picture.) You can also order the protective glass if it broke or fell out.

The glass is still there on mine and it's clean. 😊
