Offhand, I cannot think of a 7 series rental agency. If you are interested in a Continental Flying Spur or a Quattroporte, check out Gotham Dream Cars. They also have exotics, but since you're looking for a 7, I assume you'd want a sedan.

Gotham Dream Cars - Ultra Exotic & Luxury Car Rental in New York City & Miami / South Florida

Edit: Check this link. I do think they have a 750 rental fleet.

I thought of recommending zipcar also but I don't think their models would meet the requirements as specified by the OP and as responded to by bmw. The fella from LA has a high end vehicle requiremnt, which I fear zipcar may not be able to meet.

Why would you want to rent a car to drive around Manhattan? Driving a car is one thing, parking it is another story. Even if money is not an issue, traffic can be awful and parking in Manhattan is such a pain in the neck it's not really worth the hassle for short trips on the island. Why not just take cabs or, better yet, open an account with a car service? That way you can just call them and they'll take you wherever you want go.

True that, I got a number if you want.

Zipcar, while an excellent service that I personally use to supplement when I need a truck or van, doesn't go up to a 7, though they do rent 3 series BMWs.

Why not contact the concierge at the Gramercy, tell them what you require, and see what they say?

What NYC does best is to cater to the "money not an issue" folks. I would google for car service agencies in NYC. There are plenty of high end car service provider here in NYC. Good luck and enjoy your stay!!
