My high school went to a super-rich school for a swim meet today and I spotted a BMW 760Li (the one with the V12) in the parking lot. I've never seen one in real life before. I also saw 8 Teslas and a Maserati Gran Cabrio. Additionally, there was an Alfa Spider and an MGB. 'Twas a good day. The 7-er looked just like the one in the picture.

Whenever I see a big shiny 7-er I think "oh boy today's the day I see a 760!" then my dreams are crushed. I hope that was the experience you had.

The elite 7 series are alway a special treat. Growing up I had a friend who's mom was given a BMW L7 and a 1/16 scale model of the car made out of solid silver as a bonus for a good year at the office. I don't know which one made my 12 year old heart flutter more...

I think I've seen more Alpina B7s than 760lis.

So have I! That's what makes the '60i more special.

All in the parking lot, but there were a lot of sports events today, so I suspect the cars were the parents. I'm sure the kid's cars aren't bad, though...

Something about a model of your own car is really cool.

Yeah, they probably have pretty nice cars too. The same thing happened at my high school years ago, there was some kind of tournament against some rich school being played at my school and there was like 3 or 4 Aston Martins, a Porsche GT3, and a load of BMW's and Mercs.

We get that with our swim meets to. Unfortunately, I am told by members of other swim teams that it is, in fact, our parking lot which looks like this. I'm embarrassed to say I can't disagree with them.

Especially one that is 20 lbs of solid silver...

Don't forget the turbos! LI, iirc, had twin turbos on the V12, if James May hasn't led me astray.

Don't care about the rest, would get all giddy about the Spider and MGB.

Maybe the Gran Cab if it wasn't a Cab...
