We all know those black and white stretch limousines that seem to be everywhere nowadays. They all look the same. They all look just like normal luxury sedans if it weren’t for the stretched passenger compartment. It doesn’t really matter if the stretch limousines are based on Cadillacs, Lincolns or Mercedes Benzs.

Luckily limousines don’t have to be that boring. Limousines that are a lot more exciting do exist, but they are better at hiding from public view. Maybe it’s because they are more expensive and difficult to make? The only thing we know is that most limousine companies seem to prefer the traditional stretch limousines to the more exciting models.

The least exciting of the exciting limousines are somewhat similar to the traditional black and white stretch limousines. The difference is that they are based on something else than the normal luxury sedans. The least exciting of the exciting limousines can for example be based on a small car like a mini or they can be stretched luxury cabriolets. A stretch limousine without a roof means that we can suddenly have outdoor pools, helicopter pads (it really exist), etc. onboard.

Somewhat more exciting are limousines based on exotic cars. One trend that is slowly spreading to limousines companies is stretch limousines based on exotic sports cars like Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches. More and more limousine companies start to feature these cars in much the same way as they started to feature SUV based stretch limousines a couple of years ago.

The most exciting limousines are out of this world. Some of our favourites include for example a somewhat normal stretch limousine that is rocket driven, a traditional looking stretch limousine where the wheels have been removed in favour of a set of tank tracks and a private plane that has been grounded after a set of wheels replaced the wings.

The fourth-generation 7 Series is the most successful prestige luxury performance sedan in BMW’s history. It is a highly prestigious luxury sedan offering generous space and comfort for the driver and passengers. All BMW 7 Series now feature BMW’s two-stage Adaptive Brakelights: Whenever the driver applies the brakes harder than usual, the larger brake light area warns motorists following behind. The optional CD changer is now MP3 CD-capable. The standard BMW Assist telematics service includes Bluetooth hands-free phone capability.

Virtually everything in the cabin is controlled through a single mouse-like interface called iDrive. BMW’s controversial system controls the heater, the radio, the navigation system. Amazing technology sets the BMW 7 series apart from its competitors. Silent, hidden fans and heating elements cool or warm your rear end or your soft drink; microchips can detect a skidding tire or apply the brakes full force just in case you were distracted by a phone call; power sunshades keep the sun off your rear passengers as adaptive headlights turn with the car.

BMW’s iDrive interface system is standard on all 7 Series models, and can operate virtually everything in the car, from stereo to climate controls to telephone to navigation, with a single mouse-like control. Standard safety features include dual frontal airbags, driver and front-passenger side-impact airbags, and BMW’s Head Protection System, which amounts to a full-length, tube-shaped curtain on both sides of the cabin for front and rear head protection in a side impact. Also standard is BMW’s Active Knee Protection, unique inflatable airbags that protect front passengers’ knees. Its Anti-lock brakes, traction control and electronic stability control help drivers maintain control and avoid accidents
