Default BMW 7-Series

Looks impressive! Laser headlights. A remote control key that allows you to remotely park the vehicle while you're not in the drivers seat. Carbon fibre construction. All-wheel drive.

Barge bargain in 4 or 5 years time?

Coming on the next Ford Focus too

The big 7-series to seem to depreciate quite heavily...

There's this Audi video from a few years ago of a self parking car.

I remain to be convinced about this self-parking. A friend of mine had it in a VW Tiguan, and when he tried to demonstrate it, it made a right pig's ear of it, and ended up about 2 feet away from the kerb.

The new 7-series looks pretty handsome anyway. I like it, although it's not as classy-looking on the outside as the D4 A8.

I really hope they put some of the prologue styling into it.

Something to hit D4 residuals at last.
They're even putting out new A8 D4s for £41K now.
That's surely must depress the used value as that was the 1 year old value a year ago.
