The Luxurious SEVEN!
The new 7 series has been out for a couple of months now. The sophistication of the F01 seems to be the main talking point. I had the privilege of driving the 740i recently and i can honestly say....the reviews don't do it enough justice. Being a lover of the Inline Six engine....this one is nice....turbocharged and nice!!!
Before you get into one(or get chauffeured in one), you will notice its not the prettiest of BMW's....but than again none of the 7 Series has been. Not at first glance anyway. But once you get passed that executive facade, the interior is pleasantly surprising. The drivers console looks neat and sleek at the same time. A little different from what the 3, 5 ad 6 series presents. Driving position is comfortable and not awkward(good news for chauffeurs).
Once on the road, the engine simply exhilarates the sensation. Not overbearing like the V8's and V10's on smaller frame BMW's but sweet and powerful(enough). The Comfort, Normal, Sports and Sports+ modes did exactly as advertised. Body roll was minimal even in comfort mode. Handling was miles better than the previous 7 series. Noise insulation.....lets say, i could hear every click the passenger was making on the New format IDRIVE.......
Who needs a chauffeur if i had this Ultimate Driving Machine.....
