Thanks!
I test drove a 9600 mile S65 on Wed. and fell in love with it. If I can get good money for the Bentley, I might buy that used S65 or the left over 2006 S55 they had on the lot!

LELOZ - That is a sweet looking Bently. I drove one many years ago and have been in awe ever sence. My S Class Mercedes is my joy now however.
Good luck on your new interest.

Bentley is sold!! Went to a collector in Nashville.
Just bought a 2004 BMW 760li for the wife. Titanium Silver Metallic with Black interior. This car is amazing!! I wanted to get the S55 or a S550, but the deal on the 760li and the 6 year 100,000 mile Certified Pre-owned warranty was too hard to pass up.
It has been a good long run with MB vehicles and the last BMW I owned was a 1992 750iL. I hope this 760li does just as well as the S600!

The BMW 12 cylinder is great. It has more power and better handling than the S600 or the Turbo R. It does not have the slight turbo lag the Turbo R did and it seems to pull much harder off the line than the S600. Overall a amazing vehicle!

Well it has been over 1 month and 1,200 miles with the BMW 760Li.
It is fantastic! We have made several long distance trips to DC and North Carolina with it, it is so comfortable!
If you want to upgrade from your w140 and can't stand the w220 S600 (we hated it), the 760Li is a great choice!!
As for the Idrive, it is simple once you get the hang of it. Why do you think Mercedes, Lexus, Acura, and the like all copied it!
Take care!
