Oh, RKD, you know what man? I think they do have the little butt massagers in the seats but to tell you the truth, I have no idea as I haven't figured it out yet.
The truck will either smell like fries, stir fry, or tacos.
That's funny you mention the suspension. I can't believe I'm saying this but this car handles about as good as my 951. I don't know if the car is set up that nice or I need to upgrade the Porsche. If that's the case...what's new.

I had a 2004 760li from work for a night and for a few days in LA. I asked my boss if I could drive the 540 and he gave me the 760. At only 21 I felt big pimpin driving a $130k car. Since this was a test vehicle I had no problems doing a little flogging. The 760 has EVERYTHING. My dads '03 745li feels like a stripped out rental car in comparison. The V12 sounds so awesome and pulls so well the 745 is a dog in comparison. The braking from 70 is so incredible, the ABS and brake force distribution is a testament to braking technology. The stereo is better than any sound system in a car or house I have ever heard, even at 100mph+. You can be as hand fisted of a driver and not get into trouble on twisties, the VDC is so good it just turns like it is breaking the laws of physics. I-drive (the computer screen) requires at minimum an associates degree to learn but with it you can even adjust the sway bar and shock settings. The attention to detail is unbelievable, like the inlayed wood across the back seat and lighted door sills. I had fun in that car.

All in all, what car.

That's pretty cool Joe, but when are you taking the 7-series to the track? I had mine on the track doing some taxi work after 3 days of ownership..

azmi, I agree but if you need an associates degree to work the i drive, I'm **** outa luck. Now that you mention you can adjust the sway bars and shock settings, I'm off to get the manual and sit down for a couple hours.

Anders, OMG!!!! That's insane! I always wanted to do that with my 750il. Were you in sport mode. If you were and you still had that body roll, you must have been at some pretty good speed in those turns. That made me laugh out loud.

turboX, whenever you see someone driving a really nice ride, it's usually because they are in debt, not rich. I'm in debt. That's kinda the reason I wish I still had my 750il. It was paid for. I'm gonna work my *** off to get it paid for but as of right now, I'm in debt.

Yes, sport mode. I actually got some air under the inner front tire (have to find that picture) and carried a lot of speed. To give you some perspective my best lap time was 2:42 and a 996GT3 RS did the same lap in 2:20. I did it with 5 people in the car though and lost a lot of time in the three hairpin turns where I had to use some of the grass because the turning circle sucks compared to a GT3 that can do a handbrake turn instead... :-D
