Every car company has a top of the line statement vehicle, and for BMW it's the 750. And this particular model goes for about $ 130, 000. BMWs are of course driver for his cars. They're for people who really wanna feel the road. And you can feel it in this thing. Now, this is a full size sedan, so it's a big car. But, it's also a powerful car. You hit the gas on this thing, and it goes, but it's not roaring. You're going from 0 to 60 in about 4. 3 seconds, but it feels elegant in a way. You're moving, but you're moving with utter grace. [ MUSIC ] You'd expect extras on a car like this, which starting price in this version is about $ 97, 000.

But when you get up to executive packages, you're adding another 20 or $ 30, 000. Now this This thing has all kinds of crazy stuff, including it's a tablet that comes part of the console that allows you to set just about everything in the car. The climate, the music, even the nav system. And it's got all of the extras, the ability to run the car from the backseat. There's a Vitality Program To keep you active and comfortable. And it even has a scent infuser, which is fairly unusual. [ MUSIC ] It's pretty nice from the front seat, too. The great thing about the upper- end cars, and in the BMWs in particular, is how much control you can give to the car.

It has gesture control so if I want to turn the radio up I just do this. And if I want it to come back down I do that. I can answer the phone with a gesture. I get a phone call I want it, yes. I don't want it, no. What we get is top of the line performance. Top of the line comfort, it's all there, you don't have to compromise on anything. [ MUSIC ]
