I'm not really that into outlet shopping but my girlfriends talked me into taking a trip up to the Camarillo outlet mall.
As usual, I was the designated driver because of my car choices. Actually, one of my friends doesn't even have a driver license. She grew up in New York City and never needed nor bothered to get one.
So, I showed up on Saturday with the roomy and luxurious 2009 BMW 7 Series. My friends couldn't be more pleased. From its soft, quiet ride, to the individual climate controls and heated seats, to the navigation system with traffic notices, to the entertainment features, the BMW served us well. Driving can be a little numbing but the 7 Series is a great passenger car.
As Ed mentioned in his M3 post, iDrive is no longer a hassle. It is much improved and actually easy to use and extremely helpful.
As you can see from the photo, we shopped 'til we dropped. The BMW 750i's 17.7 cu-ft trunk swallowed our packages with room to spare.

I thought the trunk was around 13 cu ft? I know it isn't 17.7, because my S550 has a considerably larger trunk than the 7 and it is only rated at 16.5 cu ft (or somewhere around there).

Edmunds.com says the trunk is 14 cubic feet, about the same as the Kia Forte. 17.7 would almost be on the low end of reasonable for a vehicle of this size and heft.

17.7 or 14 cubic feet? That difference could be the difference between true shoe shopping and just browsing! What's the deal IL?
