Issue with the equation on the 740 is no AWD.

it will take you 23.6 years to recoup the i7 premium and save $1,101.68 in fuel costs annually
That is just nuts

It looks good. Unique and different but still BMW. and the cool thing is that is has a choice of 6, 8 or EV. Only flaw….no V12

The M Sport is still a big no, but the regular i7 is growing on me. I will have to see it in person.

I don't hate it (I did at first). I'll say it definitely has presence. Looks better in some colors and photos than in others. I'd need to see it in real life.

My grandmother has an order in for an i7. We've been in the G70 7-series several times now at customer events and it's quite the vehicle. It's ugly but has massive presence. I personally find it too ugly and quite frankly the interior design is busy beyond belief but it does seem to be very high quality. I'm somewhat glad we don't live close to each other as she's going to need massive IT support to learn how to operate that car. She can't even use the controls in her current 7-series lol.

Seeing this thing in person, I think i7 will sell just fine. Looks different but not that odd really.

Tough love. You always ask for a bigger engine, bigger than whatever is being offered. Lol

Yeah I don't think the refresh of the X7 looks bad at all...

Saw this one on another forum. Looks like they also took it off another forum. Looks pretty dawn hot IMO.

I think it looks like a Rolls from the A-pillar back, which makes sense. Doesn't the Ghost share the platform?

"It doesn't burn your eyes when every line and detail is obscured in black" isn't much of a ringing endorsement lol.
