I am seriously considering getting a 750Li. I was just wondering, in your opinion, what car would you prefer to drive a 5 series or the 7?

The 7 is too big a car for me. A great expense has gone into interior appointment and comfort for rear passengers. The longer wheel base gives a much smoother ride.

......BUT its 5 for me. Occasional 5 seater, 4 in comfort, sports package 6sp and lots of power.

it depends on what you want.

My Ride: Arrived 3 June 2005: 2005 545i - Orient Blue, Black interior, Sport, Steptronic, Cold Weather, NAV, Sirius, Logic7, Comfort Seats, Sunshades. What a glorious ride!

I'll say this, as someone who considered both the 5er and 7er, the 745i is the most incredible driving experience available in a true luxury sedan. At high speeds the thing is unbelievable. Problem is (and wifey agrees) it would be hard to appreciate the 7er if you cannot drive a no-limit highway such as the autobahn. I would find it very frustrating to keep a 745 below triple-digit speeds.

That being said, I am taking delivery on my 545 this week!

Having owned both cars I personally think the 7 would be my choice don't get me wrong I love my 5er but (this may sound crazy) the 7 IMHO handles better then the 5...I go to the Watchung Reservation here in NJ its basically a park but I go at night time and its about a 5-6 mile run of pure winding turns...I've brought my 3 my 5 and my 7 there the 7 handled the best out of them all...but once again it comes down to what YOU wants good luck

I think you and the wifey will have the same problem with your 545.
