Quote sudeepd Replybullet Topic: A Lovely and Mind Blowing Experience in BMW 730Ld
    Posted: Yesterday at 10:43pm
 
Our Business Partner has bought a BMW 730 Ld on 31th October (his son's 1st Birthday).
  Today I got an opportunity to see the Car Internally (Interiors) as well as he took me for a RIDE (Not the one like the Dealers).
  Man what a Car it is! The Bonnet is Huge enough when viewed from the Front Seats.
Lots of Legroom at Front and Rear. We can increase the Thigh Support for the Front Seats at a touch of button.
  He showed the Gear Shifting Pattern. But I did not get it correctly.
 The Rear Seats have Massager (in the Backrest) which work at the Touch of Button in the rear doors.
 
Then we went for a Ride. He drove the car and I sat on the Co-Driver Seat.
  He drove the car as the Driver of a BMW SHOULD. I was feeling drowsy since he was driving fast. The Car would do 0-80 in less than 4-5 seconds. I am not used to such a lightening Pick up. And thats why I felt drowsy whenever he did quick 0-80kph. He used to touch 80kph whenever he saw gap between traffic ahead to show me how Fast it can touch 3 figures Speeds.
 
 I was shocked to see his driving since he was driving a 17feet long and 6.24 feet wide car on narrow roads (Four Lanes- Two on each side of Divider) of Solapur.
  This was my experience with a BMW 730 Ld.
 
He wants Registration Number as "1" for this car. The RTO told him to pay Rs.3,00,000/- for this Number since he will be issued "1" from Next Number Series.  The Actual Charge for "1" in Solapur is Rs.1,00,000/- (Hence he will be charged 3 times). Still he has not taken the Number for his car due to this Huge Amount. But I guess he will pay Rs.3lakhs and take the Desired Number "1" since I told him that the Current Number Series (MH.13 AC.XXXX will take 1-1.5 years to get sold.
He has decided to pay Rs.3Lakhs. 
The Cost of his BMW 730 Ld is 1,10,00,000/-.
He owns a Scorpio VLx (Top-End Variant) bought on 24th April 2009 on his Birthday, a Current C Class (MB) bought this year, Innova, Qualis, Verna, Camry.
 
 Today we went for Visiting Our Sites in his Scorpio. While travelling on Highway, we came across a White Toyota Foruner. He was immediately Impressed with the Looks of it and called his office and told the employee to enquire about the Fortuner.
   The Toyota Dealer in Solapur told him that there is a Waiting Period of 3-4 months for Fortuner.
 
I think he will not be Satisfied until he buys one.

Don't let go of your "loaded" friend probably you can take the BMW on a weekend picnic to some exotic location.
