I just bought this with 115,000 miles on it. The paint is a 7 - swirl marks and a couple of minor dings. But the interior is a 9, even after 11 years and 115,000 miles. The back seat looks like no one has sat their. The driving experience is exceptional.

A great car I am sure when new. Bought in 2009. 10 yrs old. Main module computer replaced, radiator, air-cond, headlight, deadpixels, worst, unfixable petrol smell, told a leak is there and the seal replacement is expensive. Great to enjoy it but when comes to maintenance, well, you know... I make sure I get the best out of it before my bankruptcy if I keep it. Once in a lifetime experience, may even get another one when the right encounter occurs. What a love-hate relationship!

Purchased this vehicle new at 74 miles with sport package and I can tell you everything about this car. You will replace the radiator like a clockwork every 35K miles, about $400. Transmission failed at 73k miles. Extended warranty covered all but $100. While I loved the sport package wheels, I got sick of paying $250 per tire every 17k miles, put 17 inch BMW wheels on with Michelins for $150 each now get 35k miles per tire with a way better ride, less the look, oh well! Still get 14/21 mpg city/hwy. Recently replaced both front rubber mounts/arms for $400. Car tracks and steers like new! Rear/right window regulator replaced $600. Fan blew up at 80k miles and went through belt/hood

I've owned mercedes, lexus and bmws. This is the best. I will pick Bimmer over all others. The performance is amazing. This one is stock and runs with the best of vehicles. I am going to chip it out so I can get all I can out of her. I love this car!

Great, great car, big comfortable, gets 23 mpg at 75mph. Problems have been with the cooling system, mostly raditor and associated parts. Next problem is the double-pane glass that discolors from separation between the two panes. Company will not replace, even though all had been replaced under warranty the first time. Expensive to maintain, hard to work on the engine because of tight spaces.

With the Sport option, this is a sports car in sedan disguise. This car puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel.

Bought used with 52,000 miles. Car
looked and drove new. After two
months, I can say this is the finest
car I've ever owned. Although I'm
partial to high end Toyotas, this
vehicle drives like a dream. Comfort
front and back are superior, wind
noise is low, and it attracks looks
everywhere, even in the church parking
lot. Great fun to drive at higher
speeds (80-90). Gas mileage hwy 23 mph.

I bought my 740IL when it was 5 years
old with 1 year of CPO warranty left.
It was love by first sight. It looks
gracful on the outside, and
unblieveably spacious in the inside,
much more than the 96 Deville it
replaced. 10 months passed, it has been
smooth running and problem-free.
With it, I have been looking forward to
my daily one-hour and a half commute.
So much fun and comfort.

The ride is excellent but too many
gadgets have had to be repaired: rear
and front cup holders, rear glass
window up and down, car phone
electronics still do not work, glove
compartment latch. I could go on, but
the smooth ride is still the best.
