I enjoy driving this car, mainly because the horsepower is amazing and the ride is excellent. Had a 1984 733i and loved it. This one is a v8 and man is it like night and day between the two. Had oil change, wiper, air filter, tire rotated and radiator fluid and man you can feel the difference and power. Like the computer. Heated seats, phone and memory seats and lumbar support. I'm in heaven and loving it. Worth the time and effort to fix whatever is wrong with it. Last a very long time.

I drove this 94 old body 740il from 130,000 to 170,000 with no issues. The body and finish look new (thanks BMW). The chrome perfect. Body rubber is pliable. Plastic door handle seals and BMW badge aging are the only blemish - both cheap replacements. Fuel economy is still 24 mpg on the highway - unreal for a 14 y V8. Build product quality on this 740il is superior to the 200x year MBs I shop for. I run 10% ethanol without a problem at 148 mph - no problem - it was in its element. Starts immediately - engine is smooth and quiet. Parts prices are not high and low maintenance you can do all yourself. Best car ever made? It just might be.

This car had the bad engine which was replaced by BMW at 40,000 mi. At 60,000 mi, I installed factory rebuilt transmission. This car is a dream to drive and a rocket ship. I plan to keep her for a long time.

Although I've owned this car for less than a month I can already tell that it'll be in my possession for years to come. It's the perfect mix between luxury, sport and all-around quality.

Have owned Cads, Audis, Alfas, Fords, Chevys and BMWs - this is first 7 after a couple 3s and shares a garage with a 5. This is a great used car - solid, goood looking, well designed, driver's car. A real pleasure to drive, V8 power and still averages more than 21 mpg! No problems - except lack of OEM cup holder! Wife loves dual a/c driver/passenger temperature control - excellent interior legroom - trunk is big enough to rent out. No exotic engineering, reliable traditional design. Make sure the trans has been serviced properly and oil changed frequently.

I bought my car used with a mileage of 75,000. This is the best car I have ever had. I love to drive this car especially on freeways because it have a lot of power in it. It's very comfortable to drive no matter how far your going. I love the engine its very reponsive, have a lot of power and very quiet. I love the looks, the projector headlamps to the roller sunblinds. This is the best BMW 7 series ever made.

I've owned many, many vehicles for the
past 45 years; new and used; foreign
and domestic. (BMWs, Saabs, Volvos,
Hondas, Toyotas, a VW Beetle, Fords, a
Buick, a Chevy, an Olds.. and maybe
some I've forgotten!).
The 94 740i I now own is by far the
best vehicle I've ever owned.
It looks good, drives beautifully, has
plenty of power (I outrun many a car!),
and has had no problems.
The Nikasil block was a problem; but
most have been replaced. Mine has the
Nikasil and has no problems (and since
sulphur in gas was the culprit.. if
your Nikasil is OK now... don't worry
since sulphur is now greatly reduced in
our gas).

The vehicle has a short block issue.
The car run good at high speed, but
performs badly at stand still. Idle is
low due to a leak down engine problem.
The problem was well noted by BMW and
180,000 units were affected. The
Engine is this car does not do well
with American gas due to a Nakusil
material that the short block is made
of. There's material on the web that
supports this claim. The car is no
good for that year. I wonder if the
BMW engineer was terminated. The
dealer sold me the car knowing that it
had a problem that they could not fix.
As a consumer it only to me one day to
late to figure that out.
