it's the ultimate driving machine
It's very roomy and for the value of the car and it's amenities I would recommend to anyone that loves the old BMW 7 series mine has the bullet resistant glass and the stance on it is great it's got the sls shocks and riding on coilover springs I have 20 inch rims that are aftermarket with 245/35/ZR20 TIRES from NITTO'S NT555 tire line. And all she says is push me harder and faster!

Does it get much better than this
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.
Not worth it!
After having numerous BMWs from different segments (3, 5 series) I decided to move up to the flagship: the 7 series. I should have realized before buying the car that there would be problems. The engine was just replaced by BMW b/c of a recall. I bought it with 36,000 miles and a warranty on the engine. However, 3 months after having the car the transmission failed! It costs me $5,000 for a rebuilt tranny and another $1200 to install it. The car was an electrical nightmare! I spent over $1,000 in just the electrical failures (windows, moonroof, seats switches) Although, it was fun to drive the costs of maintenance is not worth it. Stick with the 3 and 5 series!
Excellent Car with minor issues.
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?
Love Hate Relationship
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!
