And before the feminists, PC brigade and general internet do-gooders and busybodies start getting up in arms over the perceived inappropriate comment, get your mind out of the gutter!
Im spending a little time with a 'refreshed' and 'Digitally Remastered' BMW 7 Series, the 740LiA and it's 'L' for Long Wheel Base. So as you can imagine, fitting this monster into my modest porch really took some effort, lots of arm twirling and the occasional bout of cold sweat.
All it took was 25 minutes... and just think, i have to repeat the entire process in reverse tomorrow morning!
RESULT:
Performance Motors now offers the 7 Series with reverse parking camera, which has been neatly integrated into the iDrive screen and BMW's 'Park Distance Control' and a pair of dvd-ready monitors (BMW's Advanced DVD System) to keep the rear passengers happy. The entire kit consists of a 6-disc multimedia changer, two headphones, two remote controls and even two footstools for even greater comfort.
Keyless start/go/entry come standard so the key can be left in one's pocket at all times.
The 7 Series has always offered surprising responses for something of such proportions and nimble to drive to boot. Straightline speed is decent at just under 7 seconds to the 100km/h mark, but the 2000+kg 740LiA is the 'minimum' if you expect to get anywhere in a hurry...
