ride it is. I got the opportunity to take the car for a spin today without having to sweet talk any sales people or pretent I want to buy the car. I was fortunate enough to know one of the sales reps at Cunningham BMW who buys all of their used cars from Auctions around the state. He was keeping an eye out for a good trade in I was hoping to score for my step daughter. Long story short, they got 2005 Chevy Colbat trade-in with low miles which I ended getting for a sweet deal. I can't thank him enough.

When I went to pick up the car, after they finished their detail, safety inspection and mouting of 4 new tires, I ask him if he would be willing to take a new 7 series for spinn. Sure enough he agreed. I was soo stoked, what a nice guy. They didn't have any on the lot, but another sales guy was driving it and just gave us his keys. I could have spent all day in that car playing with all the gadgets. I have to say, the car drives and feels like night and day compared to our e38. Not that our cars drive bad, but the confort and performce of these new 7 series is amazing. That car is simply fast of the line and so smooth. It has 4 different setting. Confort, Normal, Sport and Sport +. As you go through the different setting you can literally feel the cars DNA change, unbelievable. The steering, brake feel, suspension and engine tourgue changes instantly and is actually noticable right away. I was very impressed. There was much more I wnated to play around with, but I didnt' want to keep him from going home. Bottom line, it made my day and I had so much fun opening her up for bit on I8. I hit 100 before i knew, I had to control myself. Anyway, here are few pictures take of my iPone.







as we pulled out notice how the side mounted camera in the front fender shows the side of the car.






Nigh vision, pretty sweet




Not sure yet what all these button mean, but I am determined to find out.











Notice the differnt ride quality settings in the dash.




Split screen with both side camera's in action
