The best 740i ever

2016 BMW 7 Series 740i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

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.

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.
