BMW 7 Series as a Wedding Car?

Hi everybody,

My sister is getting married in late August and she needs a car and driver.

Does anybody know anywhere (preferably around the Waterford area) that has a BMW 7 Series as a wedding/chauffeur driven car?

I say 7 Series as she wants classy but doesn’t want anything too tacky (limos, Bentley’s, Big fat Gipsy wedding, etc.).

Thanks

It's a 7 Series alright but its 10 years old and I know my sister will not be impressed.

I'm looking for a newer car 2008+

As close to this as I can get...

Wedding cars wouldn't be used everyday and would generally be in great shape.
Regardless of age.
Id an 05 car for my wedding!
But was a special one, and the car was in incredible shape, id a chat with the driver about maintenance and it was maintained to the highest standards.

Don't forget its not for me its for my sister. I'm no reg snob I'm just trying to get her what she asked for.

I appreciate all suggestions.

EDIT: That photo is just a google search for "2012 7 Series", It looked stock to me.

To each their own etc.. but they're a fine car if you're getting collected from the airport, but they're not exactly "weddingly". Again, I like them but to call them "classy"?

Hes not buying it, I doubt the bride cares about how the car was maintained. I agree with him on the age of the car tbh, would want a newer car for a wedding.

OP, maybe contact bmw Ireland or another garage?
They might let you test drive one for the day and you could use it for the wedding and say nothing. I would say you will have to pony up some deposit though.

Hmm might inquire about that but id have to tell them what im up to as I'd be worried encase they found out. I was looking for a car rental place (hertz,etc.) but can't find anything other than ford focus's for that day.

An old Rolls Silver Cloud would be nicer than a pimp mobile 7.

Funnily enough, I'm getting the very similar Bentley S1 for my wedding this summer. It's a lovely car, but I was slightly worried that it might be too modern at first.
