Our experience with the car has been absolutely outstanding. No maintenance issues, and it drives like butter. i would recommend this car to anyone considering buying one. Until you've nailed the accelerator on a 740i you havent lived!!

Best car on the road. Bought used at 40k. Drove in 1 year 30k miles. No problems. Maintance is expensive: 12 qrts of oil. Tires 800$. Sparkplugs for 12 cylinders, 2 airfilters, etc. If you have a reset key it can be done at home, but needs oil changed according to internal lights every 9-10k. At 100mi/hr rpms are only 2200. Gas milage varies from highway 23-24 mi/ga on good gasoline to 16 in city, and 12 in sports mode. For little extra, much better deal than 740: much more power, torque, all leather and no vinyl, double security glass, lots of extras, and better quality.

Puts a smile on your face every time you drive it. A big fast effortless cruising machine with loads of safety features. The interior room makes a long trip very comfortable. The drive fun factor is only exceeded by my wifes 2001 530I Sport.The car now has 47,000 miles on it and so far I've replaced the A/C pump, radiator, expansion tank, water pump, thermostat and it's housing. In additon a complete fluid change on everything. The cooling system componants were replaced as preventive maintainance measures with the exception of the water pump that had failed. All of the preceding is part of the price of owning one of the finest, safest, rides available.

What a great car! But how could BMW put such a maintenance monster on the road? Thank goodmness for the warantee! Don't drive this car without one! A $70k vehicle should not experience the kind of parts failures I have experienced. Brake rotor failure, catalytic converter (60K miles), radiater, valve cover seals, transmission seal, etc, etc.
