As you all are probably aware by now, 001 has been taking the all new BMW 7-Series though it paces over the last few days.

 

Teasing you with tidbits along the way, round one came when he first compared the new 750Li with the Mercedes Benz S-Class and he let you decide if the new changes made the grade.

Round two soon followed, and the 750Li was again compared to the competition, this time the latest Lexus LS460, comparing the styling one on one.

Now if you checked out the latest 7 series galleries by now you can really get a sense of the look and feel of the new model, but Agent001 has upped the ante again by providing us all with this exclusive overview of BMW's flagship.

Take 001's tour of the 750Li and let us know if think the new 750Li has the moxy to continue as a leader of the segment.




Special thanks to Agent004 for all of the hard work in producing this video.

I think we got the point after the first 81 posts you made about the new 7 Series.

We really don't need a post about every single part of this car. What's next?

"Agent 001 examines the leather stitching of the new seven to that of the S"

"Watch as agent 001 shows you how many elephants you can actually fit in the new 7"


Moving on

Sort of like when the new R8 V10 was out there where 6 or 7 posts about it in 2 or 3 days.

100% agree. How many topics do we need on the new 7 already? I'm as much of a BMW fan as anybody, but we don't need 20 different threads on the same car. Clearly you're stretching to find new topics.

Nice review. Very thorough and insightful. That teknik poster is a ridiculous fool. S/he needs a cranio-anal extraction like nobody's business. NannerPus says, "bad troll!" and flicks you on head (after cranio-anal extraction of course).

Agent 001 likens the new ceramic trim on the 7's controls to that of high-end watches such as "Panerai and Bell & Ross..." Panerai, yes. Bell & Ross? No. Who ever heard of them? High-end is Patek Phillippe, Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, but not Bell & Ross.

Patek doesn't have a ceramic model but B&R does.

And yes, Pateks are the best.

But B&R is really gaining ground on the Panerai's and are making some wonderful products.

It takes more than a ceramic model to make a prestigious watch brand. Ceramic controls in the new 7 are, I'm sure, a nice touch. Also, Mercedes Benz' ACC is actually more advanced than the system the BMW. The 2009 S Class with ACC is capable of not only doing the stop-and-go function in cruise mode, but is also fully active, whether engaged or not, and monitors the potential for rear-ending another car. The S then prepares the brakes in case the driver hits them. BMW's brakes only do that if the driver suddenly releases the accelerator.

I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts ToyLex, Infliniti and Akura have watched 001's video a hundred times and are already working on a carbon copy of all the 7-Series features.

iLexus

BMW hasn't really brought anything extraordinary to the table like Lexus did when the 2007 LS was release. It gave that "wow" factor like worlds first 8-Speed Automatic transmission, parks it self, LED Headlights, World's first Luxury Hybrid, the 7.1 channel 19-speaker Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound Audio system (World's best) etc....

Only wow factor about it they made it look like an Asian Lexus and nor European like Mercedes and Audi.

Lexus is more for crusing, no excitement compared to the bmw. The rear end is not a copy from lexus at all take a look at the E32 7-series and rething who does the copying. And if you cant parallel park you should not be driving. This car is beautiful. Timeless design that is very original. It is conservative like a BMW is meant to be.

Agent001...Nice review..Will wait and see how much time you spend on "the competition" when they launch new cars..lol.
One thing..you mentioned that the new 7 is the only car with adaptive cruise control that works at low speeds. That's not correct, I can confirm that the Audi A8's ACC works in the same way from at least 90mph down to 0mph, and I believe the S550's ACC works similarly as well.
