Car Forum / BMW Cars / November 2008Still Grinning
Got to transport a NEW 760Li V12 tonight and I'm still grinning. I'm cutting out $135K out of my first million and buying one. You guys know how to live. Imagine a Towncar with Porsche suspension and Corvette performance. What a ride! ANd for all you guys not happy with the center shifter, its back up on the column along with the other 3 levers. My only complaint was the buttons on the inside drivers console. Dialing up the seat temp while driving for a big guy like me can be dangerous. Too bad I couldn't fire up a Cuban while rolling tonight, life would have been perfect. Big Smoke Dan >Got to transport a NEW 760Li V12 tonight and I'm still grinning.

The new one has the console shifter and NO V12 engine but a nice twin turbo V8. Sir Hugh of Bognor  SignatureI used to be an Egotistical Meglomaniac - but now I'm just perfect!

LOL! > Sir Hugh of Bognor Reminds me of a trip to the west coast in 1985. There was a billboard with an ad for the BMW 635 on it. One of the US engineers pined and said "I wish I had a car like that". My none to subtle boss responds - "well he's got one" pointing at me. Actually I had a 735, but what is a couple of doors between friends. Can't say the episode did much to improve transatlantic relations... >Reminds me of a trip to the west coast in 1985.

I pulled up in the E28 a while ago and he looked at it and said, "Wow, you've got a REAL ONE." I didn't have the heart to mention the 2002 either. --scott Signature"C'est un Nagra.
