car is nice except those wheels, never a fan of alpina wheels. i really love the new bmw interiors.
however for 150k would i want this car? probably not. it's just not different enough. kind of like the s63. by comparison i would love to get the m5 more, which will have wider stance and more different

And $150k is not pocket change by any stretch especially for a car.
But given the "overall package" this car brings to the table, I would not feel like I short changed myself one bit. And I am particularly picky!
The new upcoming 5 will be sick-nasty, BUT... it too will blend into the crowd even more so with regular 5's milling about. As it is, the new 7 is rare on the roads.

At $45k I would take it all day long over say a CPO M5. I like the size and extreme performance the Alpina B7 brings to the table not to mention exclusivity. When I bought my 750 over a year ago, I considered an M5 and a B7 (could not find one with correct year and mileage for under $65k) I drove them all. The B7 actually accelerates harder seat of the pants. And the extra room is just a bonus. And they also come ungoverned good for near 180.
YES. There are a plethora of badass rides at $150k no doubt. If we're talking a brand new and only one car to choose... It would have to be some type of 4-Door Performance for me just because I love and require the extra room for my Fams.

You didn't comment on the wheel choice I provided?

new 7 is definitely not rare here in socal, i see them everywhere. i am sure that will be the case for new 5 as well. but the b7 is just like a normal 7 modded. however every time i see the new m3 or e60 m5 (compared to normal e60), i am able to tell the difference more, because of the wider fenders and the overall stance being different. i am sure the b7 has the performance, but i guess i hope for more exterior difference

2008 B7’s on eBay all day for 60k(or one you just noted for 45k above), so maybe these will fetch 10k more when used considering the upgrades?
At the end of the day its still a 7 and every balla on a budget can pick one up used cheap in a couple years, for 150k no thanks
Nice looking ride either way

Tough pill to swallow for 150k. For that price can you not get into a bentley flying spur? I can not comphrehend purchasing a regular bmw or mb for that price new.

gotta wait for 1 more year when they're off lease
I can't stand those bicyle wheels
yep, new 7 is common, and the new 5 is showing up more now.
that interior is niiiice though
styling wise your choice of wheels is definitely better, though if i have a choice, i won't do mesh on the 7. i like multispokes more, but not that many like the alpina wheels. i would just stay with silver face though, never been a fan of black wheels
