2001 BMW 740i (sprt pckg) End of an Era

Best sedan ever made in general and best by BMW: style, comfort, performance and reliability. The 740i is a true dream machine. Goodbye to grace and hello to hideousy!! Whatever they replaced it with - a total disappointment with the introduction of the new 7 series, six years later, they still can't get it right.

Superb balance between athleticism, comfort and style. One of the few European luxury/performance sedans where adults can sit in the back seat without my having to move front seat up, or apologize profusely. And even Consumer Reports musters respect for its build quality and reliability.

The navigation system is the worst I've seen. Slow, inconsistant, and many incorrect directions.

I have owned BMW's, Audi's and Mercedes so when I picked up my new 740il I was excited. Two weeks later, I returned it to the dealer to find out they did not install the "black box" for the phone. While a little slow off the line, it cruises extremely well. The cornering ability was supposed to be legendary.After three complaints and shop visits, my front tires were worn and the front end was noisy. It turns out the dealer had left the shipping spacers in the front and rear suspension. Mind you, it took three visits and 14,000 miles to correct this. Not a good track record for a premier automobile.
