Review: BMW 750li-Still the one?

BMW took its share of abuse from some reviewers when it unveiled its current generation 7 series a few years back.

The car, which in its previous "in-car-nation" had been quite a handsome set of wheels, suddenly became dumpy and awkward-looking, with a face and a butt only its designer could love. And inside, its new iDrive system integrated far too many functions into an ultra high tech but ultimately frustrating interface.

Or so it was said. I never drove that model, but to read the reviews from back then, iDrive was an answer to a question no one had asked: how do you take one of the world’s great sedans and make it difficult to use?

Well it may be still the one. I would love to see a side by side drive comparison between this car and Mercedes new S-Class. The refresh of the 7 series doesn't look too bad to me. So let's see the two face off ( and hell for those Lexus lovers throw in the new LS) and let's have one helluvah show down.... Then we will know who is still the one.
