Thinking of ordering this 7 series...
http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...ationId=300558
BMW 740i Jet Black/Oyster and Black Dakota leather Piano Black trim M-Sport, 19" wheels Luxury Seating Package Convenience package Ceramic Controls Premium Sound Smart Phone Integration It all comes out to $86,000. I'm going to do European delivery (part of the surprise for the Mrs, this will be her car) so I'm actually paying more like $81,000. Not bad, eh? What do you guys think?

I got an E90 335i with sport pack for the wife, the only reason I mention the sp. is that every single wheel has kissed the curb. I was going to upgrade the wheels on our new X5, but I decided to just keep the 19" and have a little more sidewall. It would make me ill to have nice 21s chewed up by a curb.

I wanted to ask you one thing is the car going to be self driven or chauffeur driven, because if it is driven both the ways (Chauffeur & Self) its enjoyable. I felt that these packages are necessary, I hope you would consider my Point of View. |

I dunno, I've seen it in person, sat in it, and seen a couple on the road, and I'd have to say it has a relatively striking presence. It's still a little awkward, but TBH, I'm not such a fan of the looks of the SWB 7er either.

PDC is standard here in the U.S. on the 7. Head up display... eh, strikes me as a gimic. I'd use it on an M3 or something I was going to drive hard (which I hardly ever do any more). The rear seats will probably be used two or three times in the car's life other than for grocery bags.

HUD is far from a gimic. It is an option you will use every single second you´re behind the wheel. It is very handy for sat nav info, speed info etc. all without having to move your head. Personally I wouldn´t order any car with HUD available without.

I wouldn't buy a car without it! My wife's car doesn't have it and every time I drive it I miss it... You get used to it so fast that you wonder how you did without it before! If price is an issue, I would highly suggest that you consider the HUD over the ceramic package... although I love the ceramic controls...

Whenever I get into a vehicle without HUD, I never check my speed. Oops! Looking out of the windshield without ever having to look down is just so natural. It is completely useful, especially when using Navi or during more-than-leisurely driving. She does have the M Sport for some reason... so I would assume that she will be driving it like an M3 to some degree Nonetheless, if you're willing to spend this much on a 7, I don't see why a useful $1300 option should be left out. |
