Great Performance; Lackluster Interior
We are in the market for a new luxury car and have narrowed our choices to three: The Audi, BMW and Mercedes. We have lots of snow where we live so we are considering those cars and the Mercedes model that is "snow worthy" So far we have test driven the Audi A8, V6 and V8 models and the BMW 7 Series V8. We much preferred the V8 Audi over the V6 so we did not bother testing a V6 in the BMW. We have not yet driven the Mercedes. We have not decided on a car yet. While both cars were fun to drive, we liked the driving and handling of the BMW better than the Audi. We also liked the trunk space in the BMW. But the interior of the Audi was more luxurious than the BMW and the ride more comfortable for long distances. The front seats in the Audi are also a little wider. We are smaller people and don't need such wide seats, but if you are a bigger person, that might make a difference for you. The camera and navigation screen in the BMW is much clearer than in the Audi. We thought that Audi has a little "catching up" to do with the technology. There are rumors of a new Audi being launched this fall. If the navigation screen and the trunk size were comparable to the BMW, we would pick the Audi. Perhaps the Mercedes will change our minds on both. We don't know that yet. We found the leasing structure of the cars interesting. While we can purchase the Audi for about $10,000 less than the BMW, the lease payments are the same for both cars, making the residual value of the BMW about $25,000 more than the Audi should we want to buy it at the end of the lease. So if you want to lease with the option of buying the car at the end, the Audi is the much better choice with the residual value at about $41,000 vs the BMW at $69,000.

Noisy Luxury Vehicle
I owned a 2005 BMW 745i, which I considered the "Ultimate Driving Machine" prior to purchasing the 2012 BMW 750 Li X. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle, I noticed the wind noise and road noise was almost unbearable. I complained to the service advisors and was told that either they couldn't hear any unusual noise, then it was the road, then it was the run-flat tires. The adaptive headlights provides poor night vision on dark roads, drivers seat material worn excessive at 40, 000 miles, there is vibration during takeoff, there is little to no storage space for cell phones, etc, in the console or glove boxes. When steering wheel is adjusted for me, mileage, temperature, and navigation controls are obstructed. vehicle feels heavy, bulky, and requires a firm grip handling. Cargo space is rather small for such a large sedan.

Best
Although a little long in the tooth (both me and the car), this is the finest Auto I have ever owned. Sorry, no trade in.
