BMW 740iL

Mileage per gallon - excellent. In the low country of S.C., highway at 5 mph over the speed limit (usually 75), gets 27.5 mph! Response to accelerator - great! Handling on curves, u-turns - unbelieveable. Wheels have never been out-of-line!
Great car that can last a life time.

I have owned this car since 1999 and still love driving it. After 140.000 miles I was having some leak issues but had it fixed. Only issues I had was changing break pads often and my tires every two years( Because of the sports package) the car still looks great and is very powerful when you hit the gas pedal. I think it was the best 740 they build. Today I hear horror stories about the new 7 series. Don't understand why BMW is having so much trouble building trouble-free cars. It might be that they are having trouble combining technology with BMW's engines and EPA's regulations. I own two BMW's and one Cherokee Jeep. Looking into maybe trading in my one beamer and the jeep for another X5 but the reviews are not that good. Oh well, just have to keep driving my 740

The BMW 740 is with out a doubt the best driving large sedan on the market. However, it suffers from serious flaws that one would not expect from a car that costs in excess ot $65,000. The on board computer dispay failed (the dealer said pixel burnout was common at about 3 years). I have a broken the cupholder and numerous climate control knobs fail. One door panel has had problems staying on as does the side panel. It seems to cost me 2-4 thousand dollars every time I see my dealer. I have probably had $5000 worth of suspension work done over the last 18 months. My previous car was a Mercedes S420 at about the same age had very few problems. Quite frankly the BMW has been a terrible car.

I have just recently purchased a 750il. The performce and handling of the car is impecable. The car has ample amount of room for the passengers as well as trunk space. The only downfall of the car is its gas milage. I have been averaging 12-13 mpg. I am certanly going to to buy the new 760li when it arrives.

Rolled over 100,000 7/09. Just put new front brake pads/rotors ($650) & rear pads ($253), air mass meter ($1000), PCV valve ($500) & drive belts ($211). Car still runs well and drives great. There has been one other front end issue described as "rubber mounting" for $566. Gas mileage is about 24 hwy, 14 city. 16,000 mi between oil changes. Valve cover gaskets leaking on each side and hoses need replacing ($1000) and it has a leak at the timing chain cover ($$$). Replaced Kumhos after 30k mi with Micheline Pilot Sport+ ($$). Overall, however, a good experience. At this age, car will not depreciate very fast. There is a noise, however in the front end, that has gone undiagnosed by 3 dealers.
