Review
This is my 3rd BMW. Having owned 2 6-series in the past I wanted a big sedan to haul the family and clients. This was a cream puff with only 78000 miles after 13 years and has been very dependable and comfortable. I have replaced the front brakes and driveline as both were causing vibration and now it's as smooth as silk. Perfect blend of luxury and performance. I have installed aftermarket wheels and performance tires which made a big difference. 25 mph corners at 65 mph NO PROBLEM! 0-60 in a blink and I still get 19 mpg in all around driving. I had it detailed recently and it looks like new. I love this car!

Traction control keeps you from spinning your wheels.
Suggested Improvements
Cup holders would be nice. BMW doesn't want you drinking in their cars I guess.
A rare luxury Sedan thats underated

Review
I have owned this Classic since Aug 2005 and I confess I've spent 7800.00 restoring her to greatness. These are some of the best engineered cars in the world. The car is almost 15 years old and it still turns heads and performs close to the way it did when it came from the factory. This was the last year that these cars were hand made and designed by engineers and not the marketing guru like today's BMW. It has a strong road feel and power to burn when you need it. It hugs the open road and if you don't have a heavy foot I can get 25 miles on the highway doing 70 MPH. Maintenance must be done on a regular basis and parts are not cheap but this 7 series is a true driver's car.
Favorite Features
V8 power, smooth ride, classic and timeless styling.
Suggested Improvements
Improved shifting in the 5 speed transmission, improve the AC/heater system. Add a few cup holders.

Review
I really like this automobile. The engine is about right for the size and weight. By the way at 4200lbs it is similiar in weight to my 91 50ft long caddy. I love the ajustable seats that heat up, and the leg rm in back is endless, maybe a 500 series will be plenty next time. Great ride and drive. Love the sun roof on a shaded road. I plan to keep this one for a while. Only real draw back, the dealer and their repair and parts prices. My foreign born mechanic as saved me several occassions. Wheres the cup holder?
Favorite Features
The front seats, the engine, all of it.
Suggested Improvements
The amount of space allocted to the front (driver & passenger)could be better. The dealer needs to take it easy on the secondary market so resale on a 100,000 plus BMW doesn't go in the trash can. Unless that is what BMW intends? Where is the cup holder?

Review
I drove this car for 5 years and over 50,000 miles until it had about 95,000 miles. Never a problem until about 90,000 miles and then there were all too many. Wonderful car to drive. Problems later were a/c and suspension. When I bought at 44,000 miles, it had a new short block, courtesy BMW recall.
Favorite Features
Style. Ride. Comfort. Engine and transmission still strong at 95,000 miles.
Suggested Improvements
None.
Excellent Overall Sedan

Review
It has been a Great car. Comfortable, powerful, reliable..What else could you want...well, the styling is a bit conservative for my taste. The regular service maintanences are not cheap, about $300 for Level 1 and $650 for Level 2. I have changed the oil every 3,000. The only repair I've had is a Water pump was leaking, cost to replace $400. Its a big, smooth car, that's gets 23mpg highway and 19 city. The interior is very high quality with a stereo to match. If you can find one that has had only 1-2 owners, has full service records...buy it...you'll love it.
Favorite Features
Engine, Strong V8, 288 horsepower. Seats, wide, heated, lots of adjustments. Smooth Ride.
Suggested Improvements
Styling is too conservative....tinted windows, and larger wheels and tires help quite a bit.
