I had considered my Omega to be quite a big car till I parked it nose to nose with my brother's 7 series. It looks like a Dinky car by comparison. His car has 20" rims on too which make my 17" look like pram wheels.  ;D ;D ;D

Stolen from the front & rear common thing actually on the 7 series, guy I got it off ordered new sensors, I've just got to collect them from BMW  :y

How on earth do you use a coke bottle as a gear stick.  ;D :y

I have to say that the dash is rather dissapointingly un-ergonomic.

Always been a 7 series problem.  That said, I'm not taken with any of the 5 series for the last 15yrs either ;D

That car looks so out of place when parked in front of that garage in the first picture!

Does a normal 7 series fit in it? Let alone an extended one!

Not a chance, that garage is only for cleaning stuff anyway :)
