amazing ... hate the rims


Thanks shonguiz

Yep rims are crap and that's something that started from the previous generation of german cars, even the most basic wheels should be decent for such cars.

The rims are alright. Mercedes offer similar low-key rims for non pompous people wanting to enjoy a large executive car without looking ostentatious. Not everybody want to be rolling on 22s especially people above the age of 50 simply looking for a comfortable car.

PS: Make no mistake, I would have done that car properly with some larger rims.

Looks like BMW is really pushing the whole "Driving Dynamics First. Luxury Second." theme

Now this is interesting, what is the new 7 series doing in Hong Kong? It is LHD as well despite the fact that HK cars are all RHD.

^ but Hong Kong is in China and the other 1.3 billion Chinese have their steering wheel on the left side

Cars are still RHD in Hong Kong, trust me, my dad is working in Hong Kong.

I just recently finished working on an X5 that was destined for China and it was LHD. I don't know if it's the same as in Japan, but over there, a LHD is considered very special. People in the 90's would order MB's LHD and they would be considered very very untouchable... aka yakuza

forgot where i read that from. but of course that can be a thing in the past
