I’ve had my F01 730d LCI since March now so thought I’d post a few thoughts…
Unsurprisingly, it’s a fantastic car, it makes everything a breeze and with the parking sensors/camera, manoeuvring is easy – it’s not really that big.
I had an F10 LCI 520d for 3 years and it’s really quite similar on the whole, which shows how good the F10 is. The 7 feels a bit more solid, and the air/adaptive suspension definitely improves the ride quality on certain surfaces. The interior quality is not dissimilar, although there are quite a few nice touches you don’t tend to find on most F10’s.
Given the size, it’s not a sports car, but you can hustle it very enjoyably down a country road with no fuss. It can corner like a much smaller car (to a point) and is more than just a motorway cruiser.
The performance is excellent and within the speed limits, rarely ever leaves you wanting more, and on a long run it can achieve over 50mpg which is really quite impressive.
Soft-close doors is one of those things you don’t think is necessary, but once you’re used to it, it’s quite a pleasant thing. Although you do have to continually tell people not to slam the doors!
