The 750Li has modified exterior and interior styling, a recalibrated suspension, an improved iDrive system, and a larger engine.

Thats basically it. There are also more wheel choices, I believe.

A good friend of mine, another Allstate agent, came by today in one he just bought. It was a buyback in Miami with 35k miles on it and loaded out, he paid 55k for it and said they had 20 more just like it on their lot. It was a 03 745Li, the car really impressed me when I took it for a spin. I've never driven a 7 series before but I really enjoyed it and boy was it comfortable.
Thinking about adding to the stable?
I'm kind of pissed with the RR deal, now they are telling me I can't get orange for a few months and that's not even for certain. I need something new and just don't have any idea what I want. I have a truck to pull, the wife drives the 230 sport but is wanting eitheir a s-type or Eseries CDI in about 6 months. I don't drive the Skylines but on the weekend a bit. I was contemplating picking up on a good deal on a larger luxo sedan. I really don't have a clue but I have some spare change burning a hole in my pocket. The wife has given me the go ahead to spend at will so it's really starting to agitate me that I am clueless. My friends car just struck me as a really nice deal today, that's a ton of car for the money and it was pretty sweet.
Do you have any suggestions TBR. I really wanted the RR sport but I don't want anything but the orange. All I know right now is I want something bigger but don't want to go over 70k and would like to stay around 60 if possible.
Would a M45 or GS430 be too small? If so, I would look for a slightly used XJ8L.
QuoteWould a M45 or GS430 be too small? If so, I would look for a slightly used XJ8L.
No to the infiniti and lexus, let me find the xj.
I like the xj8l but it's a bit paw paw, if you know what I mean. I'm 32 not 62 and it seems I only see older people driving them. I think it's definitely classy enough but a bit stereotyped in my mind.
Looks like getting one for under 70k will be a problem, they seem to hover around $71,000. If you don't need that much space you can get a XJ8 for about $50,000 or a XJR for another $7.5k

The A8 is gorgeous, I like it. The RS6 packs the punch but is a tad on the small side. I'm sure I would love the performance of the 6 over the 8. Good choices there, do you not like the 745s? I haven't done any research besides a little today on larger luxury sedans.

The M5 is nice but since redesign I would be weary of purchasing it. This guy is probably going to buy the new one after he sells it. I've driven a M5 before and it's a great car but I want a solid comfy ride.
I guess the M5 is probably also too small, the 745i is a fine sedan, just not my personal style. But, if you like it go for it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Well I'm a little older and I have 2 hot rods in the garage for that adrenaline rush. If I need more I can break out the sportbike. I'm a little older but not old by no means and I think the 745 is a classy but still a bit youthful looking car.

It looks nice and is a good price, but the wheels ruin the entire look of the car. Where you going to get a supercharged RRS or the NA version?
QuoteIt looks nice and is a good price, but the wheels ruin the entire look of the car. Where you going to get a supercharged RRS or the NA version?
I was going to get the supercharged which optioned would have pushed me well over 70k. I didn't have a problem with that, I really really like the truck. I do not however like any of the other colors but the orange on it.
Since I'm switching up I've got a new price point because I'm just spending money here to spend money. Did I need the RR, no but I liked it enough to get into the car buying mood. Now it's in my head to get something, so I'm going to follow through.
You don't like the wheels? I don't mind them but I could always switch to something BBS style aftermarket.
Hubcaps just don't seem approporiate for a 60k car imho.
Those are hubcaps, I didn't know that. I thought they were painted and polished aluminum rims.
I see the calipers behind them pretty clearly in the pic, are you sure?

Thats not a hubcap, just because it looks like one...the inside of the wheel also spins so that the RR is always level.
R33, all those wheels look very tacky, IMO. I would advise you to go with stock....much classier, IMO.

As is the other RR one...RR wouldnt be so stupid as to put hubcaps on a 350K car..and I have numerous articles which refer to them as wheels, not hubcaps.
Yes, that looks like a wheel, the other one doesn't. And, I don't have a link, it was in a mag. I believe it was in the C/D preview of the Phantom.
Usually any form of hubcap shows the steel behind it with the cutouts for unsprung weight savings.

That is a called a "hubcap" and that is probably what you read about in C/D. It fits into the center of the wheel, and is always upright.

Thats a pretty close up image. I see the brake caliper on the left, and in a hubcap, you wouldnt see that. Furthermore, it all looks clear to me...no black behind the wheel.
Well the 750Li is just 6 inches longer, do you like it better as well?
No deals yet they are all new.
QuoteDoes anyone else like the looks of the 745 better than the 750?
I do, but only because of the 750's awful taillight tack-ons.
You can get two of the last gen XJRs for 70 grand! The new one, however, is infinitely better (considering the last gen was smaller than an E class and 5 series on the inside). If you get one a year old, you're looking at nearly 400bhp for 60K or less. It's a great car--Car of the Bear 2004, if you do remember.
QuoteNo deals yet they are all new.
I don't like the 745/750 Li models because all that extra length gets tacked on at the back, and it makes the car look disproportioned. The regluar model, due to its proportions and wide design, make it look like a smaller car than the last model, but it's actually bigger. The 750i is a much nicer design, and about as much space as you need. There aren't any manufacturer deals on them yet, (and honestly, there probably won't be) but when my dad and I went to look at them, the dealer was willing to play ball, and he gave us a great number.
Oh, there's a bit of a trick going on with the 750s that I've noticed...they're stocking all the models with 19" rims, at a cost of a grand or more to you. If you want that, fine, but if not, make sure you either get them get you a car without them, or say you'll take it at "a reduced price." Push these guys...if they're good, they'll push back, and you'll win in the end.
I might just stick with the 745i. Buying this vehicle you are better off letting someone else take the initial hit and you pick it up with 10-25k miles on it for 20-30k off.
I'm searching the 745i now to see what's around.

I would go for the less expensive one. It only has slightly more miles, and it appears to have massaging front seats :lol: Cant beat that B)
EDIT: I thought they were the same year...TBR is right, you should go for the 2004...there would be less electrical gremlins.
I talked with the guy on the phone, he said the 04 has every available option but the different wheels. Voice activation, massaging seats, everything.

Thats great! What wheels does it have? I pretty much like every 7er wheel.
