BMW 745Li

Now I didnt know this car was such a BEAST! While my car was in the shop, i hijacked my dads car while he was away and took it to an industrial area to test launch times and do some turns. Man without a power brake, it easily did 0-60 in low 6, high 5 second range. Thats as fast if not faster than my 5AT ! =[ and the tires smoked like crazy when i did coldesacs and such..

Re: BMW 745Li

I don't doubt that the engine is a torque monster. How does it drive handling wise, with all that bulk and weight?

Re: BMW 745Li

The 7 has some sort of Anti Roll stabilization so despite it being a tank, it handles ridiculously well...Im thinking the 7 could do low 5's 0-60 with about 1/4 tank and a little powerbraking....

Yo-

I sported my dad's 745Li one night and that thing flies, I got it up to 135 on the local freeway out here and then took it up some mountain roads and it handles like a dream for its size. Also, the Anti-Roll stabiliazation package it is makes it even better... Great car!

Re: BMW 745Li

A lot.. at the BMW meets you see some crazy rich people. They have money to burn on upgrades for their beasts. Of course, BMWs tend to start out with a lot of horsepower so they can get off the ground. Then BMW turns them into beasts. Then the owners get their hands on them.
