Driving impressions: Both the I and LI versions of the BMW seven provide plenty of room, the rear seating is spacious, the Li models having a 6” longer wheelbase provide even greater space in the rear seating area. Braking, handling and power delivery is top notch as it would be expected from a BMW, the car makes you forget about its size. Longer trips are the most beneficial part of driving the new seven series you can easily drive 5-600 miles before you start feeling tired on the road.
With the 2006 model year the seven series BMW received a facelift and the engines went through a slight redisign as well to the 750i and 750li model line,if you are looking for an E65 seven series for sale be it the 745 or 750,760 models, make sure you check our inventory as we usualy have a couple of these BMW s for sale.
