it has about the same and absoloutely not better comfort than the A8-- ( ive driven both and i own a W220 and by the way it has better comfort than both of them=)
It is to bold for such a car..
..
theres just some examples..
Pardon me?
The 7 handles best in it's class. Go drive a B7

While the guys sounds arrogant, BMW are on top of the premium car game in general. But still arrogance and complacency can very quickly result in mediocrity.

The 745i posted the group's best objective handling numbers, too, aided in part by the optional Sport package ($3200)--which adds 19-inch performance tires and a sport suspension, among a few other goodies. Our test car snaked through the slalom at more than 66 mph and grabbed hold of the skidpad with 0.88 g of grip. Braking also topped the charts: The BMW stopped from 60 mph in just 111 feet, another sensational performance. Our test computers loved this car.

Link:


Our summations of objective and subjective virtues confirmed our trip findings, but also dealt us a bit of a surprise in totaling the results. Scan the red entries showing best in category, and you'll see that virtues of style favored the Audi. But aspects of performance, both objective and subjective, favored the BMW.
Maybe it's not such a surprise after all. We — and you, our readers — are automotive enthusiasts. So, in final analysis, aspects of performance should be more heavily weighted than those of style. And hence our overall winner is the BMW 745Li.

In fact, the BMW garnered enough of a price-independent lead to retain top points even with factoring in price — and enough honors throughout to run first even factoring in iDrive. As Hong observed, "The BMW 745Li is the sports car of luxury sedans."

..Sounds like the 7er is the more sporty and handling alternative.
