Review

For a used car this is the best buy ever. This luxury car thinks it's a sports car & boy does it handle like one,with a 282-hp, 32-valve, 4.0-liter V8 engine. The leg & headroom is great for a sedan, with a nice aerodynamic look, this car reminds me of the MD80 or a small jet.It has the M.I.D. system (Multi Information Display)if you pass gas the onboard Computer will tell you..lol..If you get this car make sure it comes with a manual & it's like studying for a S.A.T Note: this isn't even the 740il with more features ...lol...If your a car lover a Bimmer is the way to go from the 3series on to the 7series it is a very sports like ride.

Favorite Features

Great Handling, great suspension, powerful engine.

Suggested Improvements

Sucks too much fuel..holds 22gallons/you will burn it fast

Review

My husband bought this car for me as a suprise wedding anniversary gift. The only shocker was the repair bill, , the A/c went out,($1900) and the Bugatti after market wheels vibrated requiring new front tires ($1,000/pr) NEVER put those on your beautiful BMW.

Favorite Features

The interior. and the style of the car. Looks so majestic. Esay to see why it's called the FLAGSHIP of BMW.

Suggested Improvements

Treat your Mechanic with love, and invite hime to dinner. Adoption should be considered.

Not Up the Mark

Review

The BMW is called the Ultimate Driving Machine but the fine print should be "Between Frequent Trips to the Shop". We spent $12000 (yes, twelve thousand) in repairs in about 2.5 years on this car. We had the car for 5 years between 48K miles and 82K miles. Even during the warranty period the car had several problems. It had to be towed twice to the shop. In the end I lost confidence in the car and traded it immediately after spending almost $1500 in repairs. As a luxury car, it was not great. The automatic climate control was not up the mark - generating hot and cold air randomly. Even dealer experience was poor - nothing compared to Lexus.

Favorite Features

Comfort Seats, Sound system

Suggested Improvements

It's an older car so I guess N/A.

Wonderful Automobile

Review

This is the most wonderful car I've ever driven. It's so smooth and the power is right there. I feel very, very safe in this car. The premium sound system is fantastic. The interior is beautiful. There isn't one thing I don't like about this car, except maybe the fuel economy; but that's what you get with a big V8 engine!!

Love Hate Relationship

Review

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!

Favorite Features

282 HP engine. Plenty of wood grain to go around. Classy!

Suggested Improvements

Lower repair cost!

Does it get much better than this

Review

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.

Favorite Features

Sound system. Acceleration - oh my god! The breaking.

Suggested Improvements

I can't believe this car doesn't have headlamps that auto shut off. The repairs are absurdly expensive. Every visit costs $1000. The good news is it has been pretty kind to me thus far 68k - 97k miles. The heater core tends to go.

Love & Hate

Review

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).

Favorite Features

Handling, styling, performance.

Review

Purchased this car from my Dad, he bought it new, so I know the history. It has 63,000 miles and feels as tight as the day he took it home, quality is awesome, down to the door sounding solid when shut, and even how rigid the turn signal lever feels. You cant put this stuff into words until you drive this thing. Quiet on the inside, the heated seats heat up 3x as fast as my new 2003 expedition, and for a hog of a car it does move out. Love the way the engine sounds too. Not one single complaint. (although I have yet to have major maintenace work done yet, so I am unfamiliar with the cost of repairs. i.e. brakes, etc.)

Favorite Features

Too many, but I like the fact that you can hardly tell this one from a 2001. The styling is not yet dated for a 7-8 yr old car.

Suggested Improvements

Auto Headlamp shut off/on. Stereo system is not accurate.(it sounds ok, but is too 'tinny' for my liking and no matter how I adjust EQ I cannot get it out. maybe it was meant for only jazz/classical music lovers.lol)

Review

This car is fun to drive, lots of room and plenty of power. My issues is the rear shade not working and needs to be replaced (according to dealer) and the passenger side view mirror does not move when you go to reverse. So, do I get them fix for over $1,000 or leave it alone?

Favorite Features

Power is excellent and handling.

Suggested Improvements

The "nice to have" features are not longer working such as rear sunshade and reverse side view mirror.
