I'd like to see decent tires on the 760 before judging fully, but I'm not surprised.

Maybe, but it's still selling better than the S-Class :p

I suspect that the driving dynamics of a 745 beat the crap out of an S430. :p

Yea, really. Pilot Sports vs. All seasons. Put the 19s on the 7...

And, thow in a couple turbos and it might keep up :p

Anway, this is a rather incomplete review. I look forward to more in depth comparisons with proper tires...

If I'm not mistaken, the same issue of the same magazine chooses the 760 as its best lux sedan over 40-grand. The Merc beats it in the article, but can't in the Best Of section. Weird.

Like the geez... um, I mean "clientelle" why buy E65's are going to worry about driving dynamics! :lmao: Like pretty much all BMW products I ever see... they sit mindlessly puttering at or below the speed limit.

Yes, but I get car sick in any S class that doesn't have ABC.

S stands for Shamoo?

Could be.

I sense someone has been spending a lot of time with the kid lately. :D

Same results in CAR magazine as well. I just enjoy any article that pans the ugly e65. :p
