2010 BMW 730d review, test drive

     BMW’s snub-nose limo is both very comfortable and very fast, fulfilling both the carmaker’s primary objectives easily

     The cabin is pretty well put together. Sure there are quirks. You initially can’t spot the door handles on the doorpad, the iDrive will need some of you to invest some time to understand it fully and the design of the dash is not as forward-looking as the exteriors. 

     
    The design of the instrument panel, with the LCD panel merging into the dials at the bottom, is stunning and so are comfort levels for front seat passengers.  
    But this long-wheelbase version has rear seats that can rival first class airline travel. They don’t fold flat but can be reclined, there’s enough legroom for nine-footers, each passenger gets his own big screen and your rear can either be massaged, cooled or heated. 
     
    Rear seat passengers also get their own iDrive console and we just can’t remember a more comfortable seat. The armchair seating however means that the centre seat is non-existent.
