i actually went to buy an m5 but it kept annoying me that the 550i with m sport looks pretty much identical. ended up going with a 7.
just saw your question on the other thread about the packages I have. it has tech, exec, and msport
i actually have a question for you jah....when you keep your headlights on "auto" setting are the rings only on or does the actual bulb turn on as well? when I keep it on auto my HID bulb along with the rings is on but interior lights only turn red when it gets dark out. I'd like it much better if the halo rings would stay on during the day without me having to actually turn the knob to the off position.
i love the feeling of driving around in a big body sedan...
when the time comes my 7 replacement will have to be... http://www.adv1wheels.com/blog/wp-co...3/IMG_8964.jpg |
Yup, I really hate the fact that BMW didn't make the M5 a bit more aggressive and I hate the fact that the 5 series interior is almost identical to the 7 series interior, laziness on the part of BMW.
I believe you have to code the DRL's so the you can leave the switch to auto and leave the halo's on. The great thing about BMW's is you can basically code them at home but I just don't have time to learn how to code so I'm getting coding done remotely. Here's a few things for the 7 series that you can get coded, supposedly you can code in the turn signals into the heads up display like the 5 series but it works on some 7 series;
-Removal Of Seat Belt Chimes
-Removal Of Seat Belt Warnings
-Windows up/down with key
-Windows up/down with comfort access (Comfort Access Required)
-Unlock doors when engine is turned off (Single pull on door handle)
-Removal of CIC Accept Warning (faster boot up after removal)
-Activate DVDinMotion (Play Videos on the go and stopped)
-Removal of camera warnings (requires cameras)
-Add Fuel Stop Proposals
-Remove window safety feature (windows will not stop rolling if door is opened)
-Remove Amber Side Marker Lights in headlights (Euro look)
-Fogs on with High Beams (Fog Lights will not turn off when high beams or used)
-Fog Lights on when car is unlocked
-Open and close trunk with key and inside trunk release button (requires power lift-gate)
-Add Digital Speed in Center Cluster
-Auto stop feature off when car is turned on
-Auto Climate Control off hen car is turned on
I don't know if you seen the new LED headlamps on the LCI 7 series but they're basically halos with no bulbs which remain on 24/7, absolutely amazing looking lights and some people have already retrofitted them on pre LCI's.
The RR Ghost is basically a 7 series but the "real" flagship car for the BMW. There's a guy over on the 7 series forum who got rid of his 7 series and got a Ghost and he said the Ghost is about 30% better than the 7 series. Can't really go wrong with the Ghost imo because its the ultimate sedan.
