Post Compilation of pre-production G12 740iL drive reviews

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Enjoy! Looks like a winner and still a driver's car. Note that they all drove the long wheelbase version with the new modular 3 liter inline 6 Turbo (B58) engine making around 330hp.

Interesting note from MotorTrend:

Quote:
The 7's coolest party trick is automatic remote parking, which allows you to drive a car forward into or back out of a tight garage or parking space while standing outside the car, using the fancy interactive key fob (which features its own touchscreen). Sadly, this feature is not yet legal in the U.S.

Everything seems very positive about the car. Seems more driver oriented this time around. Thanks for the links

I remember seeing end of June (but I may be mistaken) but for sure at the Frankfurt Auto Show in Sept 17...
