New to a 7
Just paid a deposit on my 3rd BMW, a 10 month old 750i M Sport, working my way up from a 2005 130i to 2009 520d (company car) to 2014 535d M Sport Touring.
I was going to order a 740Ld with a fair few options including Executive Drive Pro, HUD, HK, blinds etc etc. I’d tried my usual dealers 730d xdrive which made me decide to go for EDP but wanted to try it make sure. so tried another local dealers car. That may have been a mistake (fuel bill and range wise as I do 25-30k miles a year!), but I loved it. The colour and spec is great but it was the engine I couldn’t resist. It’s 10 months old, but has only done 1,300 miles which is about 2 weeks mileage for me. Should be pretty rare as it’s got £6,600 worth of Pure Metal Silver Paint plus the following options 20” Bicolour Alloy Wheels Individual Piano Black trim Head up Display Parking Package (surround view, park assist, remote control parking) Electric Glass Sunroof Sun Protection Glass Rear Seat Entertainment Massage Seats Rear TV Function Front & Rear BMW Touch Command Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System BMW Laserlights Executive Drive Pro M Sport Braking System M Sport Exhaust System Saturday can’t come soon enough!

Wow pure metal silver. That's an amazing colour and at the price it is, your right it'll be as rare as hens teeth.
25 - 30k miles is a lot. I used to do 30k miles a year in another life. You'll be sat in a lovely place with an amazing stereo to keep you company though Interested in your opinion on EDP and if you drove a car without it? |

I see you have the laser lights. Any comments? We don't have them yet in the US but maybe by my next car . . .

Welcome to the 7 series Martin2C, you'll find it hard to move to any other BMW now after being spoiled in the 7... ^
Lovely car, great spec, thanks for posting the pictures, stunning colour. Actually, I miss the dark nights/dark mornings as the 7 really comes into its own then with the ambient lighting and the lights...You'll see what I mean come the Autumn... Curious if there are any special considerations one has to take into account with the colour or can you wash/treat it just like any other colour for a 7? Please do keep posting about your experiences with the 7 and any observations you have about it compared to your previous cars as it's always useful to hear what others think / feel / see and every day is a school day so we all learn something from sharing the knowledge / info. Safe travels, hope to see you around sometime, the new 7's are pretty rare still to see outside of London but once in a while...we land sharks do cross paths!
