I have owned my 95 Bmw 740i for almost
2 years now and it has been a love hate
relationship. I love it when it's
running like it should and hate it when
it's not. The 740i has great handling
and beautiful acceleration, all made
available in a 4 door sedan. The
Bimmer is great but watch out for
reapirs. I have spent many "green
backs" keeping this baby running like
it should. If you want unsurpassed
luxury and the opportunity to turn
heads at every traffic light purchase
one. If your frugal and looking for
economy try the 3 series! Happy
motoring!

This is my second performance luxury
sedan (LX-400). There is nothing like
driving this level of automobile. I
feel totally unsafe driving anything in
the lower tiers. This car cruises
effortlessly above 100 mph and stops
without skidding, faster than anything
alive. It is a little more "throaty"
than the Lexus, which I initially
didn't like, but have come to enjoy.
Its a BMW afterall. I wish there
weren't any speed limits; It almost
seems like a waste sometimes. The
traction control is superb in the snow -
if you know how to drive in the snow.

This is the most fun car i've ever
driven. Great performance and
handling. Hugs the curves and rides
like a dream on the open highway. But
MAN !!! was I in for a surprise when
it came to the repairs. Way too costly
to maintain. And didn't expect the
engine to go out at 100K. Good thing
BMW fixed that problem quick. Get the
engine checked if you plan on getting
a '95 ($7,000-$10,000).

The Good: Love the styling and performance, and friendly service people. It will all be over in 2 more months. The Bad: Hated all the service problems and service is over-priced (e.g., too expensive - new battery- $300+; Brakes- $600; annual servicing $600; 2 new tires at 35,00 miles-$430+; headlamps; brake-lights; new belts, etc - too frustrating to list all problems). The Ugly: Salesperson lied about cost of service and maintenance("$50 maximum up to 100,000 miles). Service and maintenance costs were totally unexpected.

Best Car I have ever owned! Never needs service, except normal check ups.
You can drive the car hard and have some fun and it won't "break".

Most troublesome vehicle I've ever owned. So, what's the problem? Just trade it, huh? Well, while it has given me more problems than one could ever imagine, it has also been the most awesome drive I've ever experienced. What to do, what to do? The inconvenience of contining visits to be serviced/repaired has just outweighed the love of the drive. Bye bye BMW.
