Now 5 years later, this 7 Series is still BMW’s flagship sedan.

   Review by Kurt Ernst, – Motor Authority

“Despite the passage of a few years since then, the 2012 BMW 7-Series has managed to age gracefully and we’d still call the big sedan one of the best that BMW has ever produced.

We’re partial to the styling of the current 7-Series, which does away with the sometimes awkward proportions of the previous model, built from 2002 – 2008. Performance is better on the new version as well, and the 7-Series manages to feel much lighter behind the wheel than you’d expect it to.

Inside, there’s plenty of room to carry three passengers, or four on shorter trips. Headroom is ample, even for rear seat passengers, and even standard-wheelbase cars have a generous amount of rear seat legroom. If you prefer more room to stretch out and read The Wall Street Journal as you’re driven to the office, the 7-Series comes in an extended-wheelbase (Li) version as well.
As you’d expect from BMW, its latest range-topping sedan comes standard with all the amenities that luxury shoppers demand, including rich leather upholstery and ample quantities of polished wood. If it’s high-tech you want, BMW offers the 7-Series with a heads-up display and night vision, too.

BMW builds a 7-Series model for almost any luxury sedan shopper willing to put down the $71,000 price of admission to the model range. Even the base 740i, with its 3.0-liter, twin-turbo, in-line six, produces reasonable acceleration while returning up to 25 mpg on the highway. Opt for a 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V-8 variant, or the 6.0-liter, twin-turbo V-12 found in the range-topping 760i, and acceleration is impressive, although buyers will pay the price in fuel economy. If you want the best of both worlds, BMW offers the 4.4-liter V-8 in an ActiveHybrid version, which can sprint from 0-60 mph in under five seconds while returning up to 24 mpg on the highway.

While the 740i may have a starting price of $71,000, the sticker price rises quickly as you add option packages or move up the model range. If you want the range-topping 760Li, it starts at over $137,000, and loaded-up with options can top the $160,000 price point.”

In a recent post by Business Insider, ’8 Reasons Why The Electric Car Will Not Be A Success…’ were presented. Knowing where we all stand as we look to the future will help shape our lives. So what are those eight reasons why we do not yet see the electric car running around our neighborhoods more often?

1. Range – Electric cars are inherently limited to the distance they can travel before needing to recharge.

2. Charge Time – It can take up to 20 hours to completely recharge on a 120 volt outlet.

3. Infrastructure – While the infrastructure is growing, there will still be 90% less charge points available than gas stations next year.

4. Cost – Comparing The Chevrolet Volt and a Cruze which are equal in size; The Volt has a cost of $40,000 compared to The Cruze which starts at $18,000

5. Pollution – Power used to charge the electric car comes from coal or gas power; these are the most heavily polluting industries.

Disposal of the batteries which contain toxic materials within them can also be an issue that could destroy the ecosystem of an area for hundreds of years.

6. Hydrogen – Once storage of hydrogen is perfected, in the near future hydrogen power will revolutionize the world.

7. Government – The U.S. Government is in bed with the gas powered automobile manufacturers.

8. Ease of gasoline – Fossil fuels are what made this post even possible. It has worked for us for over 100 years and it’s not easy to change to another system even with gas prices reaching $7 per gallon at the pump.

In this first episode, Paint Misbehavin’ introduces two very unique paints that are sure to change the way one looks at the paint world. With over a decade of being immersed in the custom paint world and working with the latest paint technologies, Steve demonstrates a fireproof paint that can withstand temperatures in excess of 1,200° F which can be used to treat wood and metal in the housing and industrial sector to protect homes and buildings from the devastating effects of fire. But if that is not amazing enough, Steve also introduces a paint that changes color via temperature and builds a one of a kind cop car that can instantly, from the flip of a switch, change from an unmarked unit to a fully marked cop car with lights flashing, sirens screaming and all the markings of a police unit.

Without any further ado, we are happy to bring you this exciting show in full (HQ). Please check out this show and visit www.hardlifestyle.com for other CUSTOM PAINT Technologies and Celebrity Projects Steve has had the indubious honor to take part in.

This unique paint process creates a mirror like surface that can be applied to many surfaces! Chroming cars is just one level this paint can satisfy, your imagination is the next. They also offer other paints by Imperial Surface Technologies that create unique surface types such as “Shrapnel” which emulates brushed aluminum, machine turned, and raw aluminum. These rugged appearances create a defining image on any application. For use on wood surfaces, their new paint technology “Inferno” prevents wood from burning. Exposed to the likes of a flame thrower and propane cannons, the layer of paint just smolders and does not allow the wood to burn.

These new exotic paints are an example of how amazing Hard Lifestyle’s paint technology can truly be when applied to the right project. Other paint types include heat reactive which when heat is applied it can change colors or reveal custom designs underneath, distortion which is a color shifting powder held within the paint, krinkle which produces a marble or snakeskin like finish, kashmir which emulates velvet appearance for a soft touch, and multiple types of clear coat based on your preference. Please visit http://www.hardlifestyle.com for the best in exotic car painting and customizing, cutting edge paint technologies, and the ultimate name in style.
