Four Seasons Introduction: 2009 BMW 750Li
2009 BMW 750Li - Four Seasons Intro Review - Automobile Magazine
Automobile Magazine has just taken delivery of a stunning Cashmere Silver Metallic 2009 BMW 750Li with Oyster Nappa leather interior as the newest addition to our Four Seasons test fleet. And we're driving it home from California.

Automobile Magazine has just taken delivery of a stunning cashmere silver metallic 2009 BMW 750Li as the newest addition to our Four Seasons test fleet.

By skipping only the sport, luxury rear seating, and driver assistance packages, our 750Li's sticker ballooned to a recession-busting $103,720. But there isn't much point in driving a stripper 7-series, now is there?
