Found this pic of Yao Ming's 7 series BMW. I remember reading the seats had to be taken out and re-installed to fit his 7-4 body. Also has nice ice. Nice car but did he have to get spinners? Boy has he become americanized in a hurry!

Dood, he's just trying to fit in. Cut him some slack. Name me one NBA or athlete for that matter that doesn't have spinners on one of their cars.

I saw pictures of this car in the last Issue of Celebrity Car. the driver seats rests on the bottom part of the rear passenger seat. He STILL look uncomfortable in that car. but he drives it everyday, so im assuming its pretty comfortable.

Wasn't it also the regular 745 and not even the L? I saw it one time when they were doing some stereo installs and saw the "745", no L

Sure those are spinners? Doesn't look like it to me for some reason.
I only see one layer of spokes.

The 7 series is rated as the most unreliable car on the road by CR. Wonder what kind of loaner can they give him while the car is in the shop ?
