Bought 2 years ago through BMW CPO had 18k km on it. It’s a step up by a mile from my previous 2012 535i traded in when it had 136k km. Replaced the run flats Pirellis with Continental DWS made the ride and handling so much better, don’t have to deal with seasonal tire changes. Picked up a tire repair kit and air pump at Canadian Tires, saved on cost of new tires. It’s now 38k km and had an oil change and brake fluid change. Approx $500 at the dealer. Brakes and tires after 2 years of wear still @85% remaining. The car is a dream to drive, smooth and powerful. With all the options that is on this car,, up to date technology (a lot) you will be happy for those that are into technology. But make sure you get extended warranty!!! So far... no regrets with it! Hope this helps when some one is considering this luxury verhicle. At 43k km, it started leaking coolant from the dual turbo intake and out coolant hoses. Brought it to BMW authorized dealer and they had to replace all the hoses @ 8 hoses with a new design (retrofit kit). Cost without CPO would have been in the tune of $3,500Cad, fortunately CPO extended warranty covers the entire cost. Included, engine flush and new BMW coolant. At time of this update it’s now 50k km, noticing engine is not as smooth, going in for a scheduled spark plug change(8) pcs plugs, oil change and cabin filter replacement. Estimated cost will be $1,700 for the next service.

2017 BMW 740i xDrive

the engine output is more than enough, the ZF 8 speed transmission is seamless and response quick. Love the vehicle and very satisfy. The B58 engine very quiet which is way better than my X5 35i (N55 engine).

Been a Lexus owner for the past 20 years. They just don't make them like they used to, body style is way too Darth Vader for me! Never thought I would buy a BMW product again but my 740 has changed my mind. Never looked back.

I have had several 7 series, and I usually love them because they drive well, have beautiful interiors, and great technology. Unfortunately, this model is terrible. If you go to the lots, you will notice lots of year-old, low-mileage used cars... that's because people are having so much trouble with them. Mine has been in for repair 4 times in the first 4 months. The car will flash and display warnings, systems will shut down, it 'bongs'... literally will drive you insane. It has already been recalled once, too.

HAD THE CAR A TOTAL OF 2 DAYS IN 2 WEEKS

I really don't know what to say about this car other than I'm very disappointed. Had it for 12 hours and it died twice. Got it back a week later and it died again. Both times it died while driving! Needless to say I had it towed out of my garage and did not want it back. I was given a 2016 7 loaner and that died too…..coincidence or is someone trying to tell me something? Don't get me wrong the car is beautiful, but should be spitting out rainbows for the price of the car. It was FULLY LOADED everything you can get I had in the car. So as the saying goes" 3 times is a charm", I am waiting for the new 7 which replaces the first one i leased. Wish me luck…..if this one dies I will NEVER go back. Such a shame.
