not in the slalom.

Oh, don't be too sure ...

With the rear wheel setup in the Integral Active Steering the car is at least as maneuverable and stable as the 1, whether at high speed or even in parallel parking.

The new 7 is an amazingly quick and agile car. It rides and feels inside much like its Rolls' rich uncle. It runs and handles like its 550 younger brother.

Way cool.

You forgot to put the name of your car back in your profile

A guy in my neighborhood has the Tundra CrexMax Supercharged with a 10inch lift, 38inch tires. Ultimate offroad machine.

7 series look like crap IMO... (and no I am not saying that b/c I can't afford one b/c I also can't afford many other BMW models that I think look awesome)...

It just doesn't look like anything special to me(on the outside)... just like a plain car that someone older would drive...
