All New 2016 BMW 7 Series

[Skylge]

World class depreciation on such models. Current 7 series has 50% in one year....

Porsche 919 Hybrid Kicked serious ass at the 24hr Le mans yesterday, got 1st place...Audi 2nd......German superiority rules again.... .....damn, I was rooting for my Vette to do Great, oh well, maybe another time

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

Both Porsches were 1 and 2. Audi I think was 3rd

[Ronnie Rep]

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

[illuminati]

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.

The meat is always bad when you can't have it. True adonis is broke as fuck.

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.

I have had a coulpe and they do handle very nicely.

[The True Adonis]

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.

This is a real car:

Go drive a Porsche and come back to me   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

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.

Well - you are quite the man yourself aren't you?

Posting pictures of other people's cars and saying how great your imaginary 40 year old cars are.

How about you post pics of all these cars you own and make money on?

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

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

[BigCyp]

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.
