Your carbon black has me swayed over this colour, I'm thinking of this or Alpine White on a potential deal.

Have you had a 7 before, used to the size etc? I might open another UK thread and ask some questions rather than clog up the pictures.

All 7 series owners, keep the pictures coming please.

Hi Everyone, new to the forum but not to the 7 or BMW...

Some very nice rides on here, haven't seen anyone post with Cashmere Silver yet so will post a few pics of my latest 730d (G11, 2016)...

That looks lovely. I wanted to see this in person but of all the BMW cars my dealer has in and I must have looked at over 50 they are all white / cream / black / red leather. There's literally nothing else.

I asked about the other colours but just no one in the UK hardly ever orders them apparently.

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.

Re: Tartufo colour, I agree, it looks stunning in the pictures, I would have loved to have that gorgeous warm brown colour for the mid level height and seats but as you say, in the UK, the dealers tend to spec the polarising black or white colour combos only... I personally find any of the dark interior colours too dark and depressing on the Winter days and too hot in the Summer but to each their own. White will be a nightmare to keep clean but it does make the interior so much brighter which is what I went for, albeit with no kids to worry about!

One note, if you do go for the 760Li, be aware that most of the Merino choices (except red and beige it seems) apply over full cabin area (floor as well as seats and middle side levels). Having just had a lighter coloured (tan) interior in the floor area as well as the seats, I wouldn't go with that again...so if you want black in the footwells and floor area, be sure to check out the colour combos in detail on the 760.

Maybe with individual, you can get Tartufo mid level and black at floor and footwell level.

HTH.

That's a very valid point on the flooring. I'd not quite considered that either but going back to some of the pics I took it does have white / cream floors as well. I can imagine those are a nightmare to keep clean especially with all the rain we get so dirty wet show marks.

My kids are getting older now. The youngest is 11 and the eldest 15 so no trouble there really. They know Santa puts kids on the naughty list if they mess up Dad's car

I tend to wear jeans quite a bit so worried about the dye transfer of keeping light seats clean. I do agree though the cabin looks much nicer in white but I've had lots of black interiors and used to that as well.

I'll check out the Configurator a bit more to see what each of the options show.

Oh and not to derail the thread here's some car porn of the M760Li in San Marino Blue

I am expected a new 740xi Individual in this week. I know this may have been asked previously, but I can not find it anywhere - where did you get the black piece between the rear tail lights (the piece that is normally chrome)? Thanks in advance for your help.

I still need to play around with it a bit. It's been fairly cold where I am so I am just running the stock configuration.

I have noticed a difference compared to me running Burger Tuning boxes on my other vehicles. When my car is in first gear and hits about 15\20 mph, I feel a boost surge which isn't very smooth. If you floor the car it isn't noticeable but if you're just cruising it seems a bit abrupt in the power delivery.
