And I can tell you, as always, the new 7 is yet again on the forefront of automotive technology. It is packed full of new goodies, and for a tease that I can't substantiate yet, when doing a short test on it with the new test equipment it asks me if it x-drive installed!
I now have a nice little vision of a future Alpina B7 with some sort of excessive boost and power... harnessed in by x-drive in addition to the 4 wheel steering!
