750iL

[gang$tarr]

I wanna hear some opinions, who thinks the 750iL is the finest luxury car out there?? not counting bentley and rolls-royce
but compare it to it's competitors, like the Mercedes S600

The E32 750i is a total cruiser with gobs of power which will suprise most of the Stang 5.0's out there. Interior is quiet and you can travel subsonic with almost no effort. But(and you knew there was one coming)the Merc S600 you have got to give props to for most of the same reasons. I rode in one with a 1st gear start mod in the Auto transmission(they apparently start off in 2nd stock) and that thing pulls STRONG. The difference is that the Merc-Benz has got less emotion in my opinion than ANY 7 series. Of course I seem to have that emotional bond with all BMW's. The newer bodied 750i is of course to die for, and I woudl snag one if I had the money.

The S class, IMO, is far superior in looks. Performance and luxury should be damn similar in both, so I'd base my final choice on looks and reliability....I go MBZ

[m54sam]

Yeah, youre right the card board box lookin body with the Mr.Potato Head stick-on headlights on the S-Class looks a whole lot better than the Sexy lines and athletic haunch of the new 7-series. I guess that's why James Bond's car was a 7, he likes only the Dorky looking cars, the S-Class just had to much sex appeal for him.....NOT. But seriously, enough Benz Bashing, I do like the S-Class just I feel it does not belong in the same light as the 7. It's a little more utilitarian and bland than the BMW.

Yeah, I'd say so.

If I wanted big luxury and power now, I would probably go with the MBZ S600 (362 HP & 391 TQ). I'm not a big fan of MBZ so I would probably wait for the BMW 760. That looks pretty sweet and is gonna be packin' a V12 supposedly.

[gang$tarr]

the 750iL has a V12

so why wouldn't the 760 have a V12?

[m54sam]

BMW has been on a V8 kick for the past couple of years and supposedly stopped production of the 750i, but the legend will live on as I have heard that there WILL be another 12cyl. in the future for BMW. Completely off the subject has anyone checked out the three films from www.bmwfilms.com.....they are awesome!!!! attached is some more eyecandy from the wizards at BMW

[m54sam]

Sorry...last post I forgot to attach the pics. Here's goes another try.

[gang$tarr]

BMW aren't stopping production of the 7
they have had the same design for 7 years now, so next year there is going to be a totally new 7 series

[m54sam]

I realize that they are not stopping production of the 7 series, I was mearly mentioning that the production of the 750i stopped meaning that they are only producing the 740i/il right now. The *50i indicates that the 5.0 liter v12 is no longer available. Hope this helps.

What a #$%& are you saying there.... Any bimmer is better that any Mercedes !!! OK, that was a joke, but I'd say that the most important thing that BMW has and MB has not is - the Right Reputation !

But the point is - BMW Rulez and others don't .


Check this out... Isn't it sweet? :evillaugh

[vo328]

There's a clear difference in the way that the Benz and the Bimmer approach their daily tasks. Both coddle you in typical Teutonic luxury style, but the Bimmer is more willing to handle the twisties. Style-wise, I do like the Benz, but I still think the Bimmer's lines are classic... but I am not a big fan of the upcoming 7-series....

[gang$tarr]

i didn't like how the new 7 looks before but now that i'm kinda gettin used to it.... i'm startin to like it

Too bad we can't get the Alpina B12 6.0 in the US.
