I’ve not seen another yet other than the brand new unregistered orange one I test drove. So far it’s rarer than the merc coupe, of which there were three others locally.

wuvvum Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I remember pulling out of Leigh Delamere services onto the M4 on the way back from picking it up - nailing it from 30 to 70* in third gear it sounded absolutely glorious.

HMC Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 We have @bramz7 to thank for adding to the forum. Sounds sensational, and with the ultimate colour combo IMO My work was limited to new wood rim Alfa wheel and gear knob.

I remember doing about 130 on the Autobahn some years ago, hitting the limiter on the 75 V6 and a 3.2 came absolutely screaming up behind me. Always fancied one ever since.

Six-cylinder Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Sorry, yes sorry to the shiter who I asked to exercise my BMW 735iSE at the FoD which promptly suffered brake failure! Today I collected it repaired and it turns out a rear brake pipe has rusted at a point where a metal clip held it in place. It now has a fresh MOT. We have had it 14 years now and it was a pleasure to drive it again. Dyslexic Viking, wuvvum, richardmorris and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 It's really nice seeing the Activa getting tucked away safely for the winter. Just something I could never offer the car. It occurred me when following it today that I'd never actually *seen* the Activa script in the high level brake light illuminated, despite having owned the car for however many years it was! Still uncanny watching it go round corners though! Probably stranger to see in a following car rather than when you're in it, as you're honestly not aware of the system doing its thing other than the car just sticking to the road unfeasibly well and being able to change direction faster than electricity. The Beemer is really nice actually. Don't think I'd ever driven a 7-series of that era before. I liked it a lot more than I expected. Really interesting comparing it to Mercedes products of the same era, while there are a lot of superficial similarities the character of the cars is totally different. BMW is far more direct, obviously being aimed at someone who wanted a luxury car but who actually enjoys the act of driving. Whereas Mercedes are much more about just wafting effortlessly between your origin and destination. Steering is the most dramatically different thing really, Mercedes it's a ship's tiller basically...very little feedback or effort required. Whereas in the BMW it's a bit heavier and has vastly more feedback. I'd happily take either for a long drive, but if it was down a twisty road the BMW definitely would be the more fun car to drive.
