Talking My New 2016 Singapore Gray (7 Series)

Drove to Dallas yesterday to pick up a new 740i. Never was a BMW fan until now...wow this car is packed with goodies. Owned every brand and most recently S550 (2015)--this 7 is soooo much better. BMW did a great job with this car!

Was the easiest drive back from Dallas to Austin I've ever had.

Normally always buy black cars, but this Singapore Gray is just stunning

Thanks

I wasn't sure on the drive up, but once I saw it I was blown away. Never owned anything but black, but this color just pops in a great way (weird how all pics show greenish and it's really not at all).

Very impressed by what BMW has put into this 7. Great job.

Beautifull combo but I don't see the tablet on the rear seats. It's an option in USA ?

The tablet is an option in the US and here is the package for the 750i xDrive trim. I have not checked other trims. How about in Italy? Too bad the BMW Build your Own function is country specific and we can't compare prices and options globally.

Rear Executive Lounge Seating Package $5,750
•Electric Reclining Seat and Footrest
•Rear-seat entertainment w/ 7" Touch Command Tablet
•Executive Lounge Rear Center Console
•Luxury Seating Package with Cold Weather
•Executive Package
•Rear massaging seats
•Rear comfort seats
•Rear ventilated seats

Is it short wheelbase or long? 740i as written suggests thats it is a short one but looking at the pictures it looks longwheelbase

Beautiful car. Singapore Grey is one of my favorite BMW paints, and it wears well both on small and large BMW bodies. Love that blue/green sheen when the sun hits it. Nice pick!
