Picked up a 750Li for Mrs 2thfixr. ** Caution - Lamest pictures ever!! **

Someone asked for pics of the new Bimmer. Apologize for the crap pics, been super busy. Car was getting tinted and thought I'd kill some time.

This is the first time pearl white has ever been offered by BMW. The oyster/black interior is amazing, feels like a Scandinavian furniture showroom! Weber BMW in Fresno was 1000% customer service oriented pre and post sale, I recommend them highly.

Still on the fence about the car's drivability. Has comfort, normal, sport and sport + mode. In normal mode initial throttle response is delayed for a smooth start, even with low pressure turbos the car tends to surge after the delay. I get smoother starts in sport mode but the car holds gears, can't tell which is worse. Ride is not as supple as my old '03 745Li due to the run flats but handling is amazing for such a huge car. Car is damn quick too! I think more seat time is warranted but it's tough to pry the keys from my wife's fingers.

Once again sorry about the lame iphone pics, I'll get better once when I get a chance.

The new 7 is stunning, moreso in white.

Read some recently about BMW introducing AWD into their 7 series -- has this happened yet?

Cool car, BTW!
