Haha, I like the road presence or curb appeal of the S550 with its fenders in particular. My friend's Dad had a 745 then the 750 and he never seemed to mind the i-Drive too much. Then again, he said he rarely used it. They're both equally very luxurious and extremely nice to be in but the new S-class really does it for me. Although, that new twin turbo 4.4l v8 in the 750 should haul quite nicely

It's amazing how BMW doesn't have one good looking car in their current line-up. They're like the opposite Citroën.

I really hope that BMW fixed iDrive, it's pure hell trying to set the navigation to a new destination, and changing song or radio station takes just under 10 minutes... And dont even get me started on changing engine settings....

U R right the cl looks better but i need the 4 doors and room of the long version as a daily driver

I have to disagree with you man, I like the new M3, M5 looks sweet, new Z4 will probably look nice, new 7 looks alot better than the previous version. With that said Merc & Audi both has better looking cars overall.
