Big B' now has 120,000+ miles on it. It's the second 7 series I've owned. Great ride and performance! Pulled 24.6mpg running at 85 from Denver to KC last winter. Runs 16 -18mpg around town. No surprises with the owning costs - just budget ~$2500/year. Still cheaper than a new Honda Civic. A used 7 series is a bargain making up for the maintenance costs. I'll keep this '98 until the '09 series starts coming off leases in 2012 or thereabouts.
Better than the Camry!

My 740iL has been a joy to drive for the past year. I have had some problems, but after learning that the $dealer isn't the only option, I have had them fixed rather reasonably. My biggest complaint about BMW is the complete and utter audacity of the service departments who act like there are no other options for us BMW owners. I say, "Go Take a Hike" to the bastards!

Great looking, fun to drive, lots of power but what a headache to maintain. Would never buy another.
This car is why I'm a BMW fan

I've had the car for 4 months now and have put 7,000 miles on it already, including a 3,000 mile cross country road trip. Ran flawlessly, in the flatlands, in the mountains and in 115 degree desert heat. Never changed the temp from 72 degrees and was comfortable no matter the outside temps. I've had some work done since owning, but all under warranty. This is my second 7 series. My first was an 88 735i. It had 150,000 miles on it and I put another 85,000 on it. Never had drivetrain problems. I'm a huge fan of these cars. I'll probably get another in about another 100,000 miles.

i lease this vehicle. which the price i pay each month, i think i should have bought a lexus or acura or infiniti. NOT BMW. i dont remember how many times i've taken the car to the dealer to fix it and almost everytime i need to leave the car there overnight. lots and lots of problem.. i can't believe BMW's top of the line luxury sedan is like this.. i just feel like i'm driving a kia with leather seat.. no more BMW for me..
