BMW 7 SERIES (1994 - 2002)宝马7系列(1994至2002年)
Despite its position as the luxury flagship of the BMW range, the 7 Series is a surprisingly easy car to overlook.尽管它作为旗舰的豪华宝马靶场7系列轿车是出乎意料容易忽视. Aside from the excellence of such opposition as the Mercedes S-class, Audi A8 and Lexus LS430, the 7 series has also had to contend with the enemy within ?除了这些卓越的宾士反对派的S级和奥迪A8规定凌志LS430汽车、700系列也有与之抗衡的敌人? the BMW 5 Series.五月的宝马系列. Such is the excellence of the 5 Series package that few see the point of forking out for the 7 Series.这是500系列优秀的包装,很少见出700点杈系列. Whilst it?s difficult to criticise the 5 Series in any objective fashion, a case can be made for the Seven.虽然?收盘难有客观的批评的5系列时装,以能为七个. As a technological showpiece it?s perhaps ironic that whilst incorporating the cutting edge of vehicle features, many write it off as old hat.作为技术花瓶?或许有讽刺意味的前沿而将车辆特征许多老撇帐的帽子. A used 7 Series deserves a place on any senior executive shopping list.7系值得一用就任何一个地方的高级长官购物清单.
