G12 750Li & The 7s That Came Before

Last week I had the chance to get my hands on the 2016 750Li along with 3 previous generations of the 7 Series for a video shoot. It was fantastic to see how the 7 Series has changed since the E38 and compare the models in between.

The G12 we had was fully loaded, and we got some good video of the interior for anyone curious about it. Any questions please let me know, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I really like the new 7, I think it's a strong possibility for me in a couple years. First the wife wants an SUV, then I can get something new myself. I don't think I'd go for the white leather though. It looks fantastic, but there was already denim wear on the driver seat of this particular fleet car.

Again, great video. I've added it to my favorites.

Agreed! White leather looks great in a showroom, but doesn't hold up well in practical use. I considered the Oyster interior back in 2011 when I ordered my current F02 740Li (which is a MY2012) but chickened out at the last minute haha! Instead, I ordered the Saddle Brown leather thinking that'd hold up better but, to my surprise, the leather in the driver's seat is discolored (due to my frequent wearing of denim).

This time, I'm going even darker and have chosen the Mocha leather for my G12 750. We'll see how that holds up.

That Mocha interior is going to look superb! I look forward to seeing some photos if you post them when it arrives.
