I know these are two completely different cars, but would you take a 750Li or a G55 AMG SUV?

Anyone have experience with both??

Ok, if it was me i would definitely choose the bimmer for two main reasons.
1) great and unmatched design and look, not like the boxy intrerior of the G55
2) all the well known advantages, mainly as far as driving is conserned, that every sedan has over an SUV

the G55 easily..its classic and modern at the same time.. its AMG..it looks superhot and has alot of prestige..
and the 7er is just wierd imho..even with the FL.,. i think i actually like the pre fl 7er better

750Li for me ...I quite like the car. Now if you had had the S550 in the poll my vote would have been different.

It would depend on what other cars would go with that choice I suppose. If I had to have just one car, I would take the 750iL for its driving characteristics and comfort.

However, if I had another daily driver, the G55 AMG definitely. Its exclusive, classic, and so cool imho. But thats just me.

I'd say the G55, is has got to be one of the coolest cars, especially in black!

I love the 750Li as well, it's a hrad choice because they are so different!

But I'd go for the G55!

G55 is a SUV and 7 series a sedan so maybe you should decide what kind of car you want first.
From those two i would take the 750 cause G class is very very old and dated IMO. Of course some might say that G is a classic and they will be correct.

The G-class does look fantastic though - a timeless design.

Id take the beemer only because the G is a SUV. The 7 isnt best in its class by a long shot though.

Nah, but from those two, the G55.

The BMW has better performance, gas mileage, and styling. But, it of course depends on what your doing with your car. If you want to tow a boat of use it for going offroading then the G55 makes more sence.

Well it does look good ..but I wouldn't call it a timeless design ...it is definitely starting to look old now IMO -- it has just had it's "50,000th" facelift ..but even that can not hide it's "maturity".
