Insulate yourself from the world

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.

Outstanding Ride and Petformance

Test drove the M550. Loved it. Then I saw this reasonably loaded Black Saphire 750i with M Pack. When I test drove it I was sold, the ride, room and performance were staggering. For such a big car she didn’t feel much bigger than the 5 series. The M550 clearly was the better performance vehicle, but I live in South Florida where the most exciting road is the off ramp of the I75. The 7 series with the improved fit and finish, reduced noise levels and a huge price reduction made it just a $150 a month more than the well equipped M550. It’s too soon to comment on reliability, but I have had many BMW’s over the years and only one I would consider unreliable. Expecting miles of serene highway cruising, with a significant and effortless shove in the back when needed. Outstanding vented and massaging seats and some very clever driver safety aids.

So much advance technology and over engineered. Just never ceases to amaze. The smooth instant power the ride and comfort. 95 is the vehicle s sweet spot. Drove 300 miles ave 86 mph and got 26pg!? Dam BMW makes a car so fun to drive you never want to fly again. Wontt ever go back to MB.

Best 740 yet

I test drove this 740i with M style package last June and that was it,Bye bye to my 2017 740i. The new version's six cylinder engine had far more kick than its predecessor and that sport mode was amazing as this 740 has beautiful balance similar to a 5 series The self drive mode on curves and the highway is unbelievable and takes time to trust but when in effect makes steering virtually effortless.The biggest drawback is that car is reluctant to change lanes and needs extra effort to switch lanes.Because of that my wife easily turns off that mode.The interior is roomer in the rear seat than the 2017.The computer package also has an upgrade and you need a tutorial to handle all of the auto audio and operating options. After 8 months the love affair continues! Well done BMW!
