Congratulations! I do love how the new 7 looks in the proper trim. Here is one with the dual paint which I am not a fan of but I love the shape and the rims.

No, if you want to get everything but the rear screen you can do that with the 50, cant with the 60, I spend lots of time in configurators and just checked to see if it's changed. It hasn't; get the rear luxury or whatever they call it and you get the screen with the 60. In fact just grab the fancy white interior and you get the kitchen sink. With the 50 you can get the goods without it and it's a 4k option broken out separately.

Here is the Oxide Gray on top. It's a very pretty color but the Silvers are also very nice with BMW. I think you will find the paint job will be superior to your prior cars.

Has BMW gotten reliable? They're increasingly appearing at the top of charts. Maybe their collaboration with Toyota is paying off.

Sure you can, 7250 and you've got executive lounge seating on the 60 and it includes the screen. Select the cashmere alone and your car is over 150 in one click because it throws everything in just as I said. That does remind me though; with the 50 you can also skip the recliners but still get the luxury seating package with the ventilation, heating and massage. The only real downside to optioning the 50 (to me) is that you cant get the cashmere.

I know that you take good care of your cars. Would encourage you care for the battery as part of that, which means in general limiting the charge between 80 and 20 % and ideally keeping it near 40-50 % for your daily commuting and minimize the amount of DC fast charging that you do.

That's actually very sad to hear...
Mercedes really needs to step up and address all of their quality control concerns.
The new S-Class, looks-wise, has grown on me.
The same cannot be said for the new 7-Series - to me it looks like a modern-day Batmobile from the outside; and like a discotheque on the inside.
For those who can get by the looks - I am sure it's a nice car.

I've seen this model in pictures many times and didn't get all the enthusiasm about it. Those newly designed grille looks way too wide. Well, those were my thoughts until I saw it in real life. This car looks spectacular.

Honestly, for a regular production, non-exotic, luxury sedan, NOTHING could be worse than the 2022 S580 I had. I must say that much of this was due to the dealer "shining me on" so much of the time. I would tell them about issues, show them videos of the issues and they would tell me the car was "operating as designed" and give it back to me. That's why I am thrilled with having the BMW dealer within easy walking distance from my office.

I "grew up" on MBWORLD.org, following your W222 very special order car, so many years ago. I highly value your opinion and don't think it has not been in the back of my mind ever since you proclaimed your new 7 as being spectacular. So glad you still feel the same way.

You can get the rear luxury package on the 50 or 60 which includes the ventilation heating and massage for $1,500. the lounge seating is an additional option on the 60 that isn't available on the 50.
I have no interest in the cashmere so thats not a factor for me

Interesting. To me that's when BMW nosedived. To me, they peaked in the late 90s early 00's with the E46, E39, and E38. After that it's been a ****show, but more recent JD power reliability reports and others show BMW up there with the Japanese, which is unheard of. My local Mercedes dealership lot is overflowing with cars, the BMW one next to it is barren. Nobody's buying the Mercedes, but it could be poor dealer management.

Right now to lease a 760 is like $1,000 a month less than a similar MSRP S580, S Class lease doesn’t even make sense vs buying. It’s like that all over their lineup.

It’s because of poor lease support from Mercedes. Their leases have gotten really bad, I was talking to my MB salesman about it. BMW has a huge lease rate and incentive advantage right now.
