Driving pleasure.Big car. Very imposing and simply amazing. This car is way up there with the best and its can stand up and be counted and not just that, annihilate competition by a margin. A beast on the road. Built to perfection and with precision. BMW ,on this one wanted to show what they are capable of doing, and proved themselves they did. Just looking at the 750Li , you find it has its own swagga, One of those," I am here now, its time you paid attention to me and me alone", and all this because of monstrous power refined by the Germans.
The front still looks a bit ordinary, matter of fact at first glance you think it is the 5 series, but at close inspection you notice, the body is bigger and rather wide and more imposing. There is a silly grin on your face now, you realise this the BMW 750Li that they have been talking about. As you follow the trim to the back you notice the designers at BMW pulled all the stops on the 7 Series, that way it could compete with the Audi A8, Jaguar XJ, Mercedes S Class and Lexus LS.
The Backside on the 2010 BMW 750Li is a bit fuller and more curvier, unlike its predecessor. A step in the right direction. Unlike the Step back in the three series, that was taken a few years back. Stepping on the inside is like getting into another zone, different world.
The seats are heated and they can shift in all sorts of angles for comfort. Loads of room as well in this car, driver is very comfortable for a good drive. A power sunroof, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, Bluetooth connectivity and four-zone automatic climate control add to the luxury vehicle’s ambiance. Hardware includes a navigation system with voice activation.
This is a V8 4.4liter, 400 horsepower engine, so it has some kick in it. Just pulling out of the lot you can feel this machine is raring to go. Soon as there was an opening I stepped on it and boy, you wanna listen to the roar. And the control was amazing. Good job on the suspension because I could feel the road in my hands and best bit is this is a rear wheel drive so you can feel the car pushing from the back. Very sturdy and settles on the road so well. On the motorway all the other cars seemed to be going backwards. Went on the off ramp to come back on my self and this is when things got so interesting for me. So instead of the usual slow approach from a side road onto the freeway, the rep told me to put my foot down and I thought he was joking because the ramp curves onto the freeway almost like 180 degrees. Accelerating in these conditions in any other car is suicidal but not with the 750Li. Ah ah. I felt like I was being pushed against the driver's door and my head was spinning. The Seat belt was nice and tight and I was in a good position to enjoy the BMW 750Li taking that ramp as if on a straight road. I would like to see any car beat the X Drive “performance control,” a torque-vectoring system featured on the two-wheel-drive 750Li, that applies light braking to the inside rear wheel, while adding power to the outside rear wheel, correcting for under-steer without the driver ever knowing. Additionally, the 750Li is fitted with active front and rear anti-roll bars that adjust to keep the pitch of the big sedan going in its intended direction. Safety as well is paramount on the 750Li with dual deployment airbags and first-and second-row side curtain airbags. Nice little cocoon of comfort and safety.
All this said and done though the BMW 750Li is still a guzzler only getting 15mpg City and 22 highway. but one thing I know is for just around $80 000 one gets to enjoy the comforts that the Germans have put on this car.
One thing though that keeps niggling me at the back of my mind is how abundant the 750Li is on the street, and the characters driving it are rather look unsavory. The gangster type. This lowers the value of the car quite significantly, don't care what people say.

Your post helped me to give some information about a new BMW model, which I was unknown before coming to your post.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much sir. There is too much lip service being paid to car reviews these days. I am just trying to tell how I felt exactly, driving these cars.
