2013 760Li????

[Bieldside]

Test drove the 2013 760Li
That's a stealth bomber if ever there was one
Felt like it wanted to take off
Downside is the sheer size in the long wheel base version
So parking in London might be a deciding factor
Anyone out there owned a long wheel base 7 and wants to comment on the size on a day to day basis ??
Thx

got a 730d myself non lwb. drive in Birmingham central a lot and tbh with parking spaces ive always managed to find one but due to the size you do have to go past a lot of smaller places. also my car has the surround view option which is cameras on the wing mirrors. for me this is a must have with a car this big as when you get stuck in tight places it gives you a better idea of how close you are and allows you to go closer that you normally would.

I have a 3 series I park in London ,the 5 series is 6 inches longer which would exclude me from so many spaces ,so that 7 series would pretty be difficult wouldnt it. Im in a sales role so drive all over a collegue had an Audi A8 the best car interior I had ever experienced going out with him was comical trying to park the thing.

Depends what your usage is - it's not something I'd choose for driving and parking in and around central london! Or even outlying areas frankly, unless you really have a case for it.

My van is available in 3 lengths from 4750-5350 and pretty much the only reason I ordered the shortie is the parking in london. It only just fits in many supermarket bays and in congested areas I still annoyingly pass small spaces on unmarked rows vacated by smaller hatchbacks etc, I can struggle to get it in the marked bays certain councils provide!

Phwoor! Awesome.

It wouldn't be the easiest thing to live with in London; however that said the amount of S-class and other exec-sized cars you see squeezed into spaces does suggest it's possible. My 6 series can be a bugger to park sometimes, although that's more to do with its width rather than it's length.
