2016 BMW 7-series

I don't see the appeal. The A8 is much classier

Nice car, once you add the R400k of extras.

It is absolutely crazy how expensive cars are these days.

You could buy 2 houses for the price of this car...

"The highlights on the new car is its new remote parking control system and its uber cool remote key. You can literally step out of the car and park into a tight space in a garage or shopping mall parking lot, as long as you're only moving forward or back. The system will only be available locally in May 2016.

The most impressive thing about this feature is its price. According to BMW SA's communications manager, Edward Makwana, this option will only cost you R7200 - that's cheaper than a satnav option or even sunroof from most premium manufacturers."

Test drove the 730d on Sat. Really awesome car but I still prefer the 750i msport. Beautiful car all round with lots of technology built in.

I actually love this car, still a little behind the S-Class, but def a step up for BMW, miles ahead of the previous 7

What makes the S better in your opinion?

The S-Class is the future of the automobile. However I have always loved the 7-series and would not mind owning an older one. Can't really dislike the A8 here as I have had the pleasure of experiencing both the awesome ride the A8 D2 and D3 offers. However the S-Class is the segment leader here.

The resulting performance figures are remarkable - the all-new BMW Alpina B7 xDrive accelerates in just 3.6 seconds from 0 to 60 mph, 0.8 seconds faster than its predecessor while reaching a top speed of up to 193 mph (preliminary figure).The power output of this smooth high-tech engine unfolds with impressive emphasis across the entire rpm range. Excellent throttle response and high torque ensure that even at low engine speeds driver inputs are immediately transformed into forward acceleration."

Btw that's 447kw & 800nm
