Test Drive new 7er by MB fan

I have test drive new 7er fully equipped for almost 15min. I will tell you what liked and disliked.

I liked:
1- Driving Dynamic (very stable - no body roll)
2- Very smooth gear shifting
3- Engine power at high speed only.
4- Comfotable.
5- lane departer steering wheel vibrating.
6- Big Screen.
7- Exterior and interior design.

I Dislike:
1-small rooming compared to s-class. (Especially leg and head room front and rear)
2-waiting the twin turbo to work at the acceleration from zero.
3-First gear shifting very fast at 60km/h!!!!
4-Plastic door's handle!!!
5-Night view (not displayed as full screen)
6-The gear shifting is not very fast even at sport+ mode (not Faster than S-class (M) manual mode)

The most disadvantage in this car is small rooming since it's the BMW flagship anybody can notice it.

Conclusion: Good job BMW Better job MB

Re: Test Drive new 7er by MB fan

looooool i am tell the truth it's not kind of ad (nice one).
i forget to tel one more disadvantage which is when you ordering the rear roof A/C the head rooming will be less and the car's bag as will because the roof A/C is related with car's bag space(if you didn't got it maybe i have to take some photo tomorrow).

Re: Test Drive new 7er by MB fan

BMW have always had cramped interiors compare to Audi/MB so its nothing new here. I prefer it like that. It connects you to the car and help the sportiness. Just because its smaller doesnt mean its disadvantage, some people just prefer it like this and I'm one of them and its one of the reasons why I love my babybimmer.

The new 7-series is a real BMW - sportiness mixed with comfort .

What a pointless of giving the car a big body and less rooming.

Hmmm... The (interior) door handles of my 730d are metal not plastic.
