Used 2016 BMW 7 Series Consumer Reviews

The best 740i ever

I was looking for a new car for quite some time, as my M5 E60 was becoming a classic and I needed more comfort, better gas milage and front massage seats. I test drove Tesla P85D, Mercedes S-class and they didn't impress me - heavy cars with bad corners handling. When I first test drove 740i it really impressed me with lightness and super easy handling of the steering wheel. It is a big car, but driving it feels like it is not - engine, transmission, suspension combination is absolutely flawless. I now have 1000 miles on it and drove it for one month and love it every time I see it and I drive it. Technology and iDrive are top-notch, giving you a feeling of a spaceship, and not quite a car. The only shortcoming includes no full integration with Apple products (no screen mirroring and bad connectivity via bluetooth), which works great with Android products. Another shortcoming is lack of unlimited WiFi for the car from ATT - for some reason all you get is 10GB.

Gimmicky disappointment

I traded a 2016 S550 for a 2016 750ix with very low miles on it. That was a big mistake. The ride and drive is better in the big Merc - and the new 750 feels soft and "un-BMW like". In addition, the front seats are better in the Merc. Finally, the iDrive technology in the new 750 is gimmicky and unreliable. It is constantly glitching with my iPhone and I have had it into a dealer 3 times to update the software to remove issues. Bottom line, BMW had 2 years after the S550 redesign to one up MB - and they embarrassed themselves by launching this poorly engineered car. I have owned many BMWs over the years, but this will likely be my last.

Phenomenal performance with 31mpg

I was very leary of the 7-Series reliability, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. This is the finest, most refined car I’ve had/driven. I’ve owned hundreds of cars, from Subarus to Rolls Royce. I had the dealer do the Carbahn tune to 633hp for $1400. It was a 12.4 1/4 mile before at 440hp. It still delivers 31+ MPG at 75mph. Now at 80K miles, it’s still feels like new and is a great experience to drive. It’s amazing that a car this large and comfortable can deliver all this. These are really undervalued in the used car market.

Ultimate luxury and power

Great car if you buy it used when it is 4 years old for 1/3 of the price of a new one. 465 HP, very smooth ride. I would recommend the M Sport version. The ride and the look are a bit sportier and the exhaust sounds throaty!! Lots of options and extras come as standard in this vehicle. Maintenance not so bad and not so expensive relative to Porsche. 4/2022: I have since sold my Beemer and moved on with a Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Both cars are nice but I just wanted a change. BTW, right before trading my Beemer, the AC compressor went out and it cost $4,000 to replace it which was luckily paid out of extended maintenance program. But let me tell you that the standard maintenance on the Cayenne is not cheap guys.

great car

Check lane control, cruise control is great, hands-free on opening trunk not great. gas mileage is not as good as older 2016 was

2 years out....my 4th BMW

Consider what comes standard on the series. What features are most important to you and what you can afford. I wanted the horsepower of the 750 but opted for the 740 because of the actual improbability that I would be racing the car..:)..so far I am beyond impressed and don't want to get out of the car. I will say that the interior feels a bit of less quality than my 550...which was built in 2008. They have made some other refinements that balance the overall experience. I am a lifelong bimmer enthusiast. Update: 6/14/16 I am in love! I really have no complaints about the car. I did have to add radiator fluid...which is weird for this year model. I will see if that problem repeats itself. So far so good! The learning curve is sharp with this car as the technology is very advanced. I must retract my comment above based upon horsepower because I have now driven the 750 and the difference in driving experience definately does not justify cost. Overall, really content with my purchase! I still fell the same 2 years out....onlu complaint is front window noise that I swear occurred after i had the windows tinted in 2015. It's been checked and still no resolve. The whistle sound on the highway drives me slightly nuts.

BMW 7 Series

I originally wasn't planing on buying this car, I originally went to buy a x5 40e but when I was in the showroom of the dealer I saw the 7 series and I knew I had to have it, after arguing with my wife for a good 2 hours to get the car she finally agreed, when I asked the salesman what color models they have in stock he told me that the one in the show room is the only one they got left so I got the car that I first saw in the show room. I had the car ever since and I love it, definitely will recommend to anyone

Better than my expectation

740i xDrive is a great car, transmission very smooth, Engine is power but quite, roomy, great features...and much more. I am in love of my car and have no complaint at all (beside the maintenance cost). It is my 3rd BMW, I have 328i, X5 35i, and now is the G12 740i.
