What’s new
The 7 Series' cheapest model swaps I-6 for V8 power. The entry-level 7 Series is now called the 740 to denote this change. The new engine has 282 horsepower that is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. More wood for the interior, Z-rated tires and an upgraded stereo round out the changes for the 1993 7 Series.

1993 BMW 7 Series 740iL 4dr Sedan
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!

1991 BMW 7 Series 735i 4dr Sedan
Mine now has 210k on it and it feels like it will go for eternity. Had a few normal repairs over the last 4 years that would go with a car that is 16 yrs old. The car is very comfortable and drives smooth. Very happy with this vehicle and would do it again if I could.

1991 BMW 7 Series 750iL 4dr Sedan
A good value in a used luxury car. Keep in mind that this is a high end luxury car and fairly complicated at that. It requires more maintenance than a Japanese car, but the owner will be rewarded with a great car. Plan on spending at least $1000 per year on maintenance. Mileage is not bad for a car of this size. I get around 18 in town and 22 on the highway. Sleek, comfortable and … powerful. It is great on the highway or on a twisty road. Cheap to get into, but can be humbling to your wallet to keep it running.

I would not buy another BMW without
manufacturer or extended warranty..
Items that fail are out of site on
expense.
Examples: Catalytic Converters $ 3500
Examples: Power Steering Pump $ 1500
Other items equally expensive, and
this does not cover labor to install.
Car has alignment problem inherent to
BMW this model, The Rear has no
adjustments and wears out the … inside
of the left rear tire with everything
else ok..
I have changed 4 left rear tires, and
BMW says, "it's not our problem", also
BMW Dealer charged for 4-wheel
alignment when there is only a 2 wheel
alignment according to factory specs.
There are NO adjustments in the rear.
