I have a new car! :D
It is a 2001 740i Sport with Titanium Silver paint and Grey Leather interior. The car was soooo clean when I got it that I had very little to do. Here is what I did.
1. Wash with QEW.
2. Clay with Griots clay and Meguiar`s Final Detail.
3. Polish with PC using polishing pad and Meg`s Swirl Free Polish.
4. Apply P21S wax by hand.
Those are my former wheels with Poor Boy`s Bold `N Bright on the tires.
It was a pretty cloudy day and it does not show the full beauty of the paint.
Here are a couple of pics-

You got rid of the black one :eek: ?!?!?! There`s the end of an era!
The new one`s a beaut though, I love the styling of the 99-01 7 series. I think one of its best colors is silver ;)

GoodnClean,
I agree about the titanium silver on the 99-01 7 series. I am still trying to find the `perfect shine` on my new 7! :D At this point I was just trying to put some protecton on the car.
I will be experimenting with AIO topped with P21S while I am waiting for Meg`s NXT! If I have more time, I will also try the Vanilla Moose topped with P21S as well.
Cheers,

Nice upgrade! Gotta love those sport seats, sport steering wheel, widescreen nav, Steptronic, shorter axle ratio...
:up
Any plans for a 6-speed manual conversion? ;)

BW,
No plans for a 6 speed manual conversion. This car is too fast as it is! I was taking it out for one of it`s first outings and before I knew it, I was doing 110+ on the frwy! :shocked
I found a very, very clean car with only 20K miles on it, and as you said, with the widescreen nav to boot! :D
I really love the new ride!
Cheers,

AMP-Vanilla Moose and S100 will make a nice combination on that color. That color looks amazingly wet when you use the right combination of products and proper technique...something you don`t have a problem achieving. ;)
I detailed one that was very similar to yours and have a shot of the hood on my home page. If I remember right, I used Vanilla Moose and Final Polish on it.

I`m going to miss seeing pictures of that beautiful black 7 you had (you did get rid of it, right?) Whoever buys it will be a lucky person!
Congrats on the new 7! TiSilver is really nice! Very nice!!!
BTW, I noticed it`s not an "iL" Do you miss the longer wheelbase?

Nice acquisition AMP99 :up . 7 series Bimmers are one of the best road cars made today. Enjoy.

C-MDX,
I am a Bimmer Lover! :D I just don`t like the 2002 or newer 7 series- :scared As a matter of fack, my wife is getting a 2004 X5 4.4 with valvetronic, sport package, etc., this week. :xyxthumbs
tkr128,
Yes I did trade my black 740iL in for this 740i Sport. I am going to miss the black car! There is nothing like a black car when it is fully detailed! As of now, I do not miss the long wheel base of the iL. Even though I changed the suspension on the black iL, it cannot compare to the M-Technic suspension of the new 740i Sport! It is just awsome - still smooth but it handles soooo much better!
BoxsterCharlie,
I agree with you about Mr. Bangle! :nono This is the main reason that I went out to seek a clean 2001 7 series with low miles.
andriver,
I agree with you about the 7 series, (E38, 1995 through 2001). I think this car is a classic, especially the Sport model!

Amp, smart man! Many people are suddenly scrambling to get their hands on E39s after witnessing the recently-released E60 in person.
