don't bother paying an additional $ 13,000 for the V-8 750i model......the 740i engine is powerful enough and the acceleration is great.....

Air suspension puts the car in the pantheon of Rolls Royce and Bentley. Self driving features are a pleasant surprise. Interior is symphony of plush materials and exquisite details. The nightime visuals of the interior are an alternate reality. Tech and gadgetry can overwhelm the uninitiated. I ralleyed against this car my whole life as a long time BMW enthusiast. I thought, who would buy a 7 series but an old geezer? On my third 7 series at age 52. Life can teach you what you haven’t learned. Privelage to arrive anywhere in a 7 series.

2018 750i x-drive

OK car. Very expensive car, but lots of depreciation at 2.5 years made it affordable for me, about 1/2 MSRP.. Not as sporty as the 2009 I had, but do enjoy the adaptive and sport suspensions. The auto-drive system is jerky and requires a lot of attention. Better sometimes to drive without lane-keeping engaged. Cockpit seems smaller than 2009. I don't care for the nav screen sticking up either. And the seat belts are difficult to fasten because the buckle receptacle is too low on the side of the seat (PITA). Finally, there seems to be a lot of droning road noise but it could be the Pirelli run-flat tires. However, there have been ZERO problems with this car.and the engine and tranny are SMOOTH. Also mileage on the road is good, over 25 mpg many times, up to 32 mpg a couple of times. Fast car, step on it and it goes. Cruise at 100 is no sweat, just have to watch for the police.. . 6/27/22 Have owned the car almost 2 years now. My original review still holds. Still no problems. Good thing, because the nearest BMW dealer is about 200 miles away. That's a problem with living in a small town! Car is a good car, but I question its value. I mean, is it really worth 133k retail? Obviously not, or it would not depreciate so fast. That said, it's still and will always be a fast cruiser, and that's why I bought it. I'd recommend NEVER buying a new one unless you maybe pay cash and want to keep it. I also wonder if it's really in the class that the MB S550 occupies. Sportier perhaps, but not as luxurious. But then the MB costs a lot more. In short, still like the car. The 750 has improved in quality and reliability over the years. Fast and enjoyable! 12/29/23 Car has still not had anything go wrong. but now that I have slightly more than 36k on it, I expect something to happen at any time. Still runs good and cruises good. Space in rear compartment is wasted since no one ever rides there. The old 750i with a shorter wheel base was better. I still question the value, but is there ANY car that's worth the cost anymore? Trade-in is now around 30k but I'd never sell it for that -- couldn't replace it for that price. So I'll keep it for a while.

Overall value is not worth it

Paid 102k for the car (2017) It has 38k miles on it...maybe worth 46k (2020) Never any issues with the car, I made sure to get full warranty because every little thing in this car is a arm or leg...sometimes both

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).
