Wow looks shit just like it always has for the past 20 years.
This is the last great 7 series, when BMW actually meant quality.
Now its just pure shit for morons like Da Vinci who want a throwaway car with no value. Buy a new one and come back and tell us what its worth in 5 years. :D

What do you drive? If you finance your cars dont bother replying. Why would anyone keep a car "five years"?? They are accecories not investments.. Nothing wrong with 7series at all... If you've owned one you know.. Can't speak to older models but the 15 is ok...

I buy my cars straight out and I drive an S Class Mercedes and have owned many classic Cadillacs, Plymouths, Lotus and other cars. All were bought straight out and I sold all for a profit.
Now go fuck yourself. You have no clue if you treat them as "accessories".

I keep my cars years and years if I want.
At any time I choose to sell, I can sell them for more than I paid.
I pity people who have no clue how to do this.

Mercedes do look nicer than Beemers but they are much less fun to drive.
As for Caddys & Plymouths - great if you want to feel like you are steering a fish.
I'm no fan of the 7 - it's just too big a car, it's an exec car, great if you are sitting in the back but not for driving.
3's are better for driving - but 5's are overall better in terms of fun & still being decent size.

Don't know much about cars I suppose. It doesn't matter what you think at all. If I like it, I like it and I do like it. Its faster than Ferrari's of that era and faster than most modern garbage still today. (not that I have it for that purpose)
I like knowing that I can make money off of it any time I want. Basically a free and unique car to drive. I have always done it this way.

Are you actually saying that you would rather have a 1968 Merceds 300 SEL over a 2016 BMW 7 series if someone was to give you a car?

So you drive a car that looks like a house brick on wheels, whose air conditioning uses more gas than my car when it's doing 150mph - and you think you are making money?
Every time you step in that uncomfortable shit-box you are paying 2-3 times as much in fuel compared to a modern Benz/BMW with better performance.
You are LOSING money.

exactly. a standard series beamer isnt anything special, they are stooping down into the non luxury brands level even on their base models. anyone can have a bmw these days.
the only bmw worth a damn really are the M series cars.

American cars aren't even American? Built in Mexico or Canada and has Japanese parts ::)

Go drive some of those AMG Mercedes like the c63 or SLS or the new GT AMG and get back to me about bimmers being more fun to drive than the current Mercedes ;)
BMW's are not like the old anymore

series 4 is a great looking coupe

A few people I know bought bmws the last couple of years and have had nothing but major faults costing an arm and a leg. I'll stick with my Audi.

Absolutely, Parker! Love your taste. I was so close to buying an 2003 M5 back in 2006, with 30k miles on it. Never pulled the trigger and I've always look longingly at those models and similiar bodystyle Beemer's to this day

Last days of driving it. Looking around for a new one (I like new 7-class, but as some comented here - quite some issues with an electric side on newer BMW's, they have to sort it out) I think I may get a new a8, it's an amazing car.

He's your typical poverty "I don't need expensive stuff, it's shit anyway" moron.
Yup - he has no need for....
- comfortable seats
- Sound proofing
- decent suspension
- 10 speaker Harman Kardon sound system (ipod on wheels)
- 8 speed triptronic gearbox
- ABS
- Run Flat Tires
- Airbags
- Crumple zones
- Traction control
- Hands free phone
- GPS (he probably uses a sexton and compass because maps are so passe)
Nope - he'd rather spend $20k on an uncomfortable, unsafe tank that guzzles fuel and get's beaten at the lights by a hairdresser driving a 1.8 liter BMW on the way to do a blow dry.
All because of the possibility he can sell it for $20.5k when he's done - to make up for the additional $30k he spent on fuel.

Lol. Yet he'd be the first one to post a new model here and talk/brag about "the experience" if that would ever happen.
-
series 4 is a great looking coupe
the thing about the 4 series, and that M4, is that the cabin seems too long. The e92 coupe looks aesthetically better.

New A8 would be amazing and the way to go IMO. I was a BMW guy for the longest time but Audi has absolutely been crushing it with their cars in recent years. Just love how the A8 almost seems like an understated 4-door sedan but under the hood is a supercharged V-6 with 333hp. They must have toned down the A8's, I remember a couple years back they had V8's pushing 500hp. Whatever, just a classy, work of art of a car
-
Lexus are great. Toyota reliability and nice looks.
Truth. Not quite a Audi but cant beat Toyota reliability. Had an Acura RL back in 2007 that was an awesome car. Sick navigation, had some nut with 300hp, AWD handled on rails and Honda reliability
-
Looks great.

Fully agree, a really beautiful piece of engineering in every sense (even tho' the new BMW's have a great look). I've had a huge pleasure driving my current for about 4 years or so, can't complain about any major shortcomings, as it just doesn't have any, you just feel comfortable, safe, fast, dynamic, everything in one.

The Mechanical company I work for jus finished a 12,000sq ft mansion on the CT River, really a glorified summer home. Anyhoo, sitting right in the garage was an Audi R8. Bad motherfucking car, albeit impractical being a 2-seater. Here's the kicker, it was the wife's car! AAAHHH smh, yeah that thing gets opened up like it deserves to driven. Oh for shame!

Haha... that's a shame, it's a great "supercar" while not too "flashy" like ferarri at the same time, good for an easy ride and for some crazy power. I know a guy who has one, the sound alone makes my cock hard.

Alright Getbig, here's your new ride! This is the beautiful 2016 BMW 7 series. 8)

I don't think TA understands how good the driving dynamics are in a 7 series. It may be a large sedan, but it can dance through the corners like a 5 series. A 1968 Mercedes 300 SEL drives like a Lincoln Town car in comparison.
-
it looks just like the current 7 series with hardly any cuts....where is the wow factor?.....another boring, expensive 7 series.....the S class is kicking their asses in Design

All German cars have evolutionary design. That's like saying a 911 looks the same as the last model.

25K?.....this must be a Gift then......least expensive I've seen of the GS model is 35k
-
Exterior proportions seem off. Car just doesn't look good standing still. The 7 series hasn't been a looker for quite some time.
Interior looks killer, and I'm sure it's great to drive....but I wouldn't want to own it a day out of warranty.

ROFLAMO! A8.
What a joke. Those things you can get so cheap after year one even. It wins the prestigious award of being one of the most depreciated cars in history, specifically the A8.
You are a moron.

They must be buying high milage used cars. They are fully covered for 4 for years or 50K miles if bought new and 7 years 100k miles if bought used?
-
Yup - he has no need for....
- comfortable seats (The 1975 Cadillac Eldorado had more comfortable seats than anything made today)
- Sound proofing (You could not hear a thing in my 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible it ran so quiet inside and out.)
- decent suspension (My 1975 Cadillac floated like a dream)
- 10 speaker Harman Kardon sound system (ipod on wheels) (I once spent 2500 dollars in a sound system in a Jeep Wrangler, insane sound quality and you can do this with any car if you want)
- 8 speed triptronic gearbox ( Never had a problem with my Lotus Esprit Gearbox. No idea why you would want a pseudo manual that takes the fun out of a true manual)
- ABS (True sports cars do not have this actually)
- Run Flat Tires (pointless)
- Airbags (pointless really. Ruins the steering wheel. The steering wheel on my 1960 Plymouth Fury was a piece of art)
- Crumple zones (the reason cars look like shit today is because of these)
- Traction control (unneeded, takes the fun out of driving)
- Hands free phone (just stupid. I don't need a hands on phone so why would I need a hands free one?)
- GPS (he probably uses a sexton and compass because maps are so passe) (I have a GPS unit if I need it from Garmin and I usually do not need it at all)
Nope - he'd rather spend $20k on an uncomfortable, unsafe tank that guzzles fuel and get's beaten at the lights by a hairdresser driving a 1.8 liter BMW on the way to do a blow dry.
All because of the possibility he can sell it for $20.5k when he's done - to make up for the additional $30k he spent on fuel.

I keep my cars years and years if I want.
At any time I choose to sell, I can sell them for more than I paid.
I pity people who have no clue how to do this.
Sorry buddy - I forget you are a have not and probably need that profit. How much could you possibly earn?? 5-10 grand?? Unless you are flipping a few a week (which I know the desperate big eared insurance adjuster isnt doing). Seriously - I dont fault any man for finding ways to earn. Everyone starts somewhere. Good luck to ya man... If you are happy in your car then cool.. I might donate one of mine to you when I want another. Dont keep em long and none are all that old ;) ... You might earn a tidy profit and I will feel good for helping the needy

Called an Aero Wheel and is actually pretty legendary in styling in the classic automotive world. Look it up. There are a few just in Schools of Art and Design.

Who the hell wants to drive an old ass car. I expect to loose money. But I also get to enjoy driving a much more refined car.

Rowan Atkins' "old" Mclaren F1 just sold for 12 million. There are many old cars that are investments. Also, many of the older cars have more character, and in certain ones, like the e38, and the e28 M5, e34 M5, e39 M5, e46 M3, Porsche 930 Turbo, 964 Turbo, they drive differently..it's a different experience---talk to those who have driven said cars.

BMW peaks in the 3series and 4series esp the coupe 4 series, that's one sexy car...the upper models just aren't as appealing and the 7 series is the least appealing model of all....Mercedes still rules the bigger luxury executive car range.

One can appreciate a nice bmw or mercedes without feeling a strong desire to own one. My friend makes 100K a year and his wife makes about 60-70K a year (the average american household makes 49K a year). So, Id say they are doing nice for themselves. He owns a Honda Accord and she owns Toyota Camry. Could they afford a BMW? Certainly. They just don't want to. They like their cars. They are not overly invested in owning a BMW. As he said, "It just doesn't matter." They are far from poor or bitter.

Wow looks shit just like it always has for the past 20 years.
This is the last great 7 series, when BMW actually meant quality.
Now its just pure shit for morons like Da Vinci who want a throwaway car with no value. Buy a new one and come back and tell us what its worth in 5 years. :D

Adonis, a close friend of mine's father has a true S600, like the one from Leno's Garage. His father loves it, because his father had it made for him back in 1969 or 1970, and the manuals have his name on them.
My friend, who is a performance enthusiast, is not a fan of this car. I tell him he is an absolute moron. That it is akin to saying you don't like the Ferrari GTO because it is terrible at pulling the family camper.
The Mercedes 560 SEC is probably my favorite Benz made in my lifetime.
There used to be a certain prestige of having the 100k mile badge on the grill of a Mercedes. And then the 150k. My mother had a 1976 450 SEL that she drove into the damned ground. Quite literally, no more parts, or the fact that it was cheaper to get a new vehicle.
I loved that car.
I am actually looking forward to the Cadillac CT6.

Some people want that "feeling", whether it be performance, or luxury, or both. Some just want a reliable car, and none of all those frills. The good thing is that the market has pretty everything a person can want, not want, or desire.

I think that CT6 will prove more reliable than the S Class of 7 series, because it lacks all that electronic stuff. But, it may not have that many early adopters because it doesn't have that flash and panache that the other two, nor the history.

Never liked Audi and never will, nice cars but I've driven pretty much the entire line up including a few RS models and I hate the way they steer and handling. Front wheel drive biased cars. Overrated, just looks nice and I'm not a fan of their overhyped interiors also
Not counting Porsche for the German marquees Benz and BMW is the only way to go

But it distills the notion that if you don't drive a BMW, then youre poor. Drive around any nice neighborhood in NYC and you dont always see beautiful, expensive cars, especially people with families. You often see very standard cars. Hondas, Nissans, etc.

No doubt. Sensible, relatively frugal living and wise investing are the keys to wealth.
If you're already maxing out your tax-advantaged retirement accounts, have some money set aside for emergencies, own or are buying a decent home with a low rate mortgage, and pay off any credit card debt each month, go ahead and buy whatever you want.
But if you're not already taking care of these very important things and just go out and buy as much car as you can afford to buy, you're doing it wrong. If you can't do all of these things AND spend six figures on a vehicle, priorities are out of whack.
Just because you CAN buy it doesn't necessarily mean you should. And I can personally buy pretty much anything I want.

BMW got their rep from yuppies, if anything you see the guys in the low end BMW models trying to play speed racer, or the guys with the M models who run them into the ground. This is now the BMW stereotype---inconsiderate, road rage having, "I'm better than you" ("but, I used to drive a Honda Civic") d-bags. Just go on BMW forums. And a lot of people don't want to be associated with that image. I understand that not everybody lives their life from stoplight to stoplight, and having a reliable mode of transportation, that doesn't attract attention, especially from car thieves, and gets good gas mileage, is far more attractive than an unreliable German car (BMW, et al).

I've been driving merc S classes for years but recently purchased a nice twin turbo AMG SLK for the wife. I enjoy driving it too so I have decided to go for something a bit smaller and faster when I get a new car in August to celebrate my mid life crises.
I'm having a test of one of these Italian beauties next week. Its actually wider than my S class but 10 inches shorter and sounds absolutely fantastic in sports mode whereby an exhaust bypass valve doubles the noise factor.

I find this sort of thing most bizarre.
No-one knows what I earn. It's not something that is discussed. So why on earth is your friend bragging about his 100k and his wifes 60-70k? My wife does have one friend who is always bragging about what her hubby earns but she's just a fucking weirdo.
On top of that, why are you discussing cars they don't own and hearing their justification for not owning one?
I have friends with all sorts of cars - on any given night we'd be having a party at someone's house, there would be Toyota's, Honda's, BMW's, Benz and even a Lambourghini parked up outside the house. And you know what, at no point does anyone end up justifying or even discussing their choice of car. If someone has a new car, even if it's a Trabant, we'd all say "new wheels? Looks nice".
I don't get this at all - is this the norm for some people? To sit around talking about how wealthy they are, how they can afford a BMW/Benz but then say how they don't want to.
It's like me saying - I have a 1080 TV, I earn $xxxk a year. I could afford a 3D, curved screen 4K TV but I choose not to. Sounds like a dick sort of thing to say, right? Because it is.
Who the fuck wants to know what sort of car you could afford but don't really want?
If you want a BMW - buy one, if you want a Camry - buy one. But purleeeeeeeeeeze - you just sound like a bitch when you say "I could afford a BMW but I don't want one".

- Crumple zones (the reason cars look like shit today is because of these)
Here's what happens when TA's 1960 Plymouth Fury has a head on collision with a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu with pointless airbags and crumple zones. Which car would you rather be driving?

That front end works on some of their lineup (4 series, new x3/5) but not on the 7. It looks awkward and lacks the brute solidity of the last gen
I'm looking for a new car but a 7 is way too big and clunky - undecided between the upcoming c450AMG, a m235i, hold on for next years 435i with the new engine, or wait until 2017 for the new S4
a stripper m4 would be fun too but I'm no getbig CEO so $50k's the limit

nice, hopefully that doesn't end up like the m1 and be unavailable/unaffordable by the time I can get one
2 door is a bit of a downer, I'd ideally get the RS3 if they release that here in hatch form, but I cant see VAG ever doing anything so sensible or pricing it at $50k either :(

Mercedes and AMG def has a thing to say about "nothing beats a BMW engine"
Maybe in the past but today BMW motors are good but they aren't anything special or better than Mercedes
Mercedes new 4.0 AMG twin turbo v8 is a gem and IMO no BMW motor matches that a long with their 5.5 v8 turbo and the now defunct 6.2. They are easily modded too unlike the BMW motors and BMW's been having problems with their turbo motors for some time and still do
Mercedes "old dinosaur engine" v12 in the Pagani Zonda and Huayra is mind blowing :o
Even their new m3 motor is blah imo

I think the styling of the Benz is probably superior. However, it is an innate, guttural issue with the two. When I get into my BMW even though it is a 4-door coupe essentially compared to a 2-door convertible, it feels faster, tighter response with steering, and your connection with the road is superior. The Benz is awesome but it just doesn't feel as tight on the road. To be fair to Bevo, I have yet to drive a S550 but it is an amazing looking vehicle.
I think that although the MB and BMW have similar HP, and despite the MB has more torque than the BMW, the BMW just feels quicker. It may be because the BMW has an 8-speed automatic vs the 7-speed automatic in the Benz. The 0-60 times for both are mid 4's which isn't too shabby. I love both cars, but I think C&D and R&T need to get the new BMW 7 series and pit it against the S550 to see if BMW has caught up or surpassed their Bavarian counterpart. Personally, it is almost would you rather take out Scarlet Johansson or Megan Fox; can't say either is a bad choice ;D ;D ;D

Out here a Benz CLA 250 AMG costs just over $100k. Looks lovely but with a 1.8 liter engine, it's a dissapointing drive.
You could get a 328i M Sport for $30k less, not as pretty. Much faster & better feel for the road plus free service for 100k km. or a bit more for a 528i.
Just drive equivalently priced cars, the MBs look nicer but drive like a Honda Accord .

Benz CLA AMG 45 has AWD and 360 hp from a 2 liter turbo engine, and people rave about it. One of the highest horsepowered 4 cylinders on the market. And mid 4s 0-60. And believe lighter than the 328i M sport.

Not a huge merc fan fo the small sedan market, but the c450AMG looks like it might be a solid choice
with the 340 and 440 coming out with the new BMW engines and hopefully steering (please) both BMW and benz have some serious horsepower now in the $50k section
lol that Lexus and Infiniti are promising 100HP more than the germans, for slower estimated 0-60 times

Well I would - but looking the above car, it's ahead of the 328i M Sport but behind the M3 - but the M3 is $12k more.
So I think this might just be a Thailand thing. Out here the CLA 250 AMG has a 1.8 liter engine compared to 2.0 liter in the states. Not sure why but it could be down to different approaches to import duties out here. The CLA 250 AMG is a more beautiful car than the 328i M sport out here but the 328i M Sport pisses all over it performance wise without additional cost.
Go for an M5 out here and you are looking at US$300k.
All the MBs I test drove out here were real pups performance wise but also in terms of road feel. I suspect if I was in the US, I may be driving an MB instead of a BMW 5.

Here's what happens when TA's 1960 Plymouth Fury has a head on collision with a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu with pointless airbags and crumple zones. Which car would you rather be driving?
Not the malibu. That car sucks.
Besides, who gets in wrecks? Only morons I suppose.

Tested the m235i today, def more fun to drive than the 3/4 and a great size for a DD
If the m2 is really just 50k then I'm sold

Yep, beat Audi.
That Nissan GT-R LM with the front engine, FWD and hybrid RWD system did poorly, very poorly.

I'll stick with Lexus. I've owned new German rides in the past, and had lots of unexpected problems, mainly electrical. :-\
Absolutely. Acura too. Basically can't go wrong with Toyota or Honda,

Overview of the new 7 series
-
I've been driving merc S classes for years but recently purchased a nice twin turbo AMG SLK for the wife. I enjoy driving it too so I have decided to go for something a bit smaller and faster when I get a new car in August to celebrate my mid life crises.
I'm having a test of one of these Italian beauties next week. Its actually wider than my S class but 10 inches shorter and sounds absolutely fantastic in sports mode whereby an exhaust bypass valve doubles the noise factor.
I am not envious very often.
Though I have to say that is one hell of a car.
Looks, Sound, Comfort, Quality, Performance.
You I envy. Good luck, Enjoy.
:)

Other than the fact that they both have four doors and a trunk, how are they exactly alike? I never think a 7 Series is just like a Camry when I'm sitting in it.

Agreed
I drive a lowly 5 series on account of abject poverty.
Get in a similar sized Camry or Accord (and let's face it the 7 is bigger than both) and it's like driving a fish. No feel of the road, no power, just a general feeling of being completely underwhelmed.
I test drove a ton of cars before buying the 5 but them nissans, toyoties & hondas just don't have any guts or feel. There is no fun in driving them. Get in any BMW - even a 320 and take it for a spin and you'll come out with a smile on your face - 'cause that's what BMW do. They make cars that make you want to take the long route home.
As for reliability - well the downside of having a car with so much 'stuff' in them is that there's more to go wrong. On my car, you don't even have to close the doors all the way, you just pull them almost closed and then the door does the rest and closes itself. Absolutely pointless thing to have on a car to be honest, but let's face it - Toyota, Honda and Nissan will all have it in a few years because they all try to copy BMW features.

there is no comparison i had 2 5's and a 335 driven every car they made from 98/10,,i worked at 2 dealers 13 yrs total,,drove 6 series on small track with driver,there is no handling or road 'feel'that delivers like a bmw ...

A bunch of Getbiggers wasting their money driving shitty cars that look like Camry's and thinking they are special (they aren't)
Hilarious.
Show these cars to anyone on the street and they will all say they look the same, like shit.

Go drive a Porsche and come back to me ;D a cayman s is all u need
I don't understand BMW's are good cars but they are compromised "sports" car heavily luxury nowadays for their target buyers
U want real handing and steering and feel, BMW's aren't the cars to get. Go buy a Porsche or corvette, even a lowly scion FRS kills every BMW in fun to drive department

U seriously not comparing 20k cars of Toyota, Nissan and Honda to a tier 1 luxury automaker like BMW?? Haha that's funny, they are completely different targets for different people
As a German American myself , I can honestly say the Lexus GS and IS shit on the new BMW's. ( 5 series and 3) Has beaten them in many comparisons
Funny Toyota and BMW teaming up for new supra and other new platform of cars
I swear BMW people are a bunch of douchebags ;D

BMW fills the "Dad putting his foot down on the way to pick up the kids from school" demographic.

No I'm not comparing them. Other people on this thread are. I'm just remarking on how ludicrous it is.
You are just another in a long line of people that seems to be quite upset at people liking & buying BMWs.
It's fucking hilarious how pissy people get that someone brought a luxury car and enjoys it.

Haha I've owned a few m3's, m5's... Had a e39 m5 in high school ;) . Aside from M cars I don't care for reg BMW's, I'll go Porsche instead :D

Yup - all Getbiggers own a Porsche. I thought this wasn't even worth mentioning. I had a McLaren F1 in High School which I'd use if my Space Shuttle was being repaired, only the girls drove M5s to school.
It's quite the thing about Getbiggers.
Although not so many of the one's in Thailand own Porsche Panamera starts at $260,000

Don't know much about BMW. The only one i've owned was a 5 series hard top convertable, bought it new in 08 and it was always fun to drive and very comfortable. Since then I've always gone for a C class Merc and it suits me and the mrs perfectly - once bought an Audi A4 'Black' edition (2 years back) for a bit of a change but HATED it. Suspension was ridiculously hard, tiny inside (considering it was supposed to be the equivalent spacially as my C Class) and it just didn't have the oomph of the BMW or the Merc.

Oh brother, TA's got it dialed up to twelve today. What kind of a fantasy world do you live in? All of the cars you mentioned are completely impractical. They all weigh three tons and have a 500 cubic inch carbureted V8, getting 7 miles to the gallon, while belching carbon monoxide. In the real world people care about gas mileage, passing emissions, safety, and handling. Things you consider unnecessary like airbags and anti lock breaks are considered essential by everyone else. Did cars have more character and soul in the past? Probably, but the cars of today surpass the cars of yesterday in every other way.

A e39 m5 or e46 to e90 m3's in areas of Thousand Oaks California or any parts of Orange County isnt really something to brag about. Even in places like Plano Texas , there are a lot of kids driving amg Mercedes, Porsches and even ferraris. Don't know why that's so hard to believe ::)
U bringing up a mclaren f1 is hysterical haha

I started a business that requires people to send me recurring monthly payments. I literally workout, eat, and party, and that's it. Everything else is taken care of by kids like you who spend the allowance I give them on depreciating assets. I haven't had a job since I was 21. What may I ask do you do, young man? That's what I thought. Compared to me, you are really sucking cock. Nice cars.

I sold those cars already. What's your problem? living in Thailand and all u can afford is a "lowly 5 series?"
If u knew anything an e46 m3 is still desirable to this day, wish I didn't sell it since the value is going up for low mileage, immaculate conditions. True BMW fans will know, unlike posers like u. Sorry to know u are 45 and just know being able to afford your BMW. Good luck ;D

As for Beemers in Thailand - ya might wanna check out the extortionate heavily taxed prices out here before ya say "is that all you can afford"...

An M5 out here is a snip at US$250k - about what you pay for a lunch, I presume.
