BMW 730D Sport
Discussion
i have an 07 730d sport and is one of the best cars i have driven and probably the best car i have owned.
From your pictures it looked like you have black leather, is this right?
When i was looking i found it really hard to find black / black combo's it seemed as though most of the black ones on the market had white interior which for me was a big no both on looks and practicality.
In the end I fell for a metallic grey with black interior as it looked a real head turner in the showroom with all the lights on it.
I am due a new set of tyres soon, on the same type of wheels you have, so i am guessing £1200 or so??
The wraps not for me, mainly because i HATE white cars despite the current trend but it does look a good job, just out of interest how much would something like that cost and how long is it supposed to last for, also when you are done with it is it a return to the garage to remove or a DIY job?

Yeah they are a great motor. For the tyres I got in touch with blackcricles.com for some Michelin Pilot Sports. Quite expensive but on a car this size and weight it would be silly to cut corners on the tyres. I got a set delivered to a local blackcircles garage and fitted for £1100.
The wrap can be taken off at any time. I actually applied it myself as I run a window tinting and vehicle wrapping company in Brighton. The car is being used as a demo car for the business and the wrap will be removed when I need to sell the car - it's just a matter of carefully peeling the film off. The car was fully cleaned and claybarred before installation so the paint should be perfect when the wrap comes off.
The heated seats and Webasto heater have been great in the cold weather.
Has yours got the 'comfort' or 'sport' seats?

Sports seats as far as I know, they have the adjustable bit behind your knees that creates a little ridge where I always end up putting my phone and change from drive throughs .
No heating on my seats though which might be a blessing as last time I had them I regularly had to concentrate on not dozing off on the way to work.

How is that no standard equipment!
