The 740Li I ordered exactly 3 months ago just came in yesterday. Cashmere silver with black dakota interior.
I have put about 100 KM on it, and am in love with the car. It is truely a luxury sedan, in terms of comfort, performance. I noticed a lot of brake dust, especially the front wheels. Makes the OEM wheels look as if they have a podwer coat finish. I think it's because of the OEM brake pads. I have Axxis on My E60 which hardly ever see any brake dust at all. Do any of you have the same issue with brake pads?
Sorry for the crappy picture.

Here we go, just took some fresh pics. Let me know how you all like it.
The 7 is a much smoother ride than the 5, except the size is whole lot of bigger which will take me some time to get used to.
