What year is your 7 series? I ask because nothing, absolutely NOTHING, surprises me in a Chris Bangle car.

The description written in his sig. says it's a 97'.

That model was introduced in late 94' as a 95' model. Except for the E46 3 series and the current 6 series, I'd consider it the lastest/newest good looking BMW for now.

Man, why is it almost always the ES the last in the pack when it comes to special Lexus features?
I think it should be a standard feature on every Lexus model; I was so happy when I learned the new RX could be had with it!

A '97 7 series without auto tilt away?

That was standard on '92 SC's and LS's! (I believe even earlier LS's as well)

...and how much more expensive is the 7 series? Unbelievable.

im not really sure either, but my parents 94 legend had it and the second gen legends started in 91. On the other hand, my friends old q45 has it also. Maybe acura, lexus, and infiniti released it at the same time?
