A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

Also please don't sell all turbo cars short re longevity. My 2005 STi at 117K miles was running just as strong as it did when it was new. Turbos are not the issue, engineering is the issue. And maintenance, and in the case of a car like an STi, an owner that does not flog the bejeezus out of it. Turbos are also routinely used in diesels that go multiple hundreds of thousands of miles. |

It's common that the F01 can't hold a candle to other cars in it's class. And by other cars in its class I just mean an S-Class.
Wonder how the G11/G12 7 Series will be like in actual testing. |

Forbes doesn't know what they're talking about. I had an F02, it's one of my favorite big cars of all time. I like the 750Li more than my current 6GC. I didn't care that I could get an S8 (faster) for the money, the 7 series has a soul like most BMWs. I'm invited to test drive the new ones... Might get another one.

I would not consider buying either car due to sheer size of both, but between the two, S-class handled better, did a much better job absorbing road imperfections (no-RFT's helped), and depreciates way slower than 7. A8/S8 would also be an attractive alternative to either. a

The F01 750li is a beast. And it looks beautiful, especially with M-Sport. This article is retarded..
