1992 BMW 7 Series 730i review from UK and Ireland
"I love my Big BM"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pollen filters (Micro filters) were blocked when I bought the car. I still haven't found an independent garage in my area who can locate them, never mind replace them. Ergo, I'm not sure if the Air Conditioning actually works.
Front suspension vibrates at about 60 mph and when the road is rutted.
Rear brake light has intermittent fault, probably due to condensation in the boot.
General comments?
I bought this car on e-bay for £1000. Probably the best £1000 I've ever spent. It is an ex-wedding car and is absolutely immaculate inside and out. Looks and drives like new.
It is very thirsty, probably getting less than 20 mpg. I am getting it converted to LPG in June.
Ride comfort is unsurpassable and it drives superbly. Could perhaps have a bit more grunt, but it's fast enough for me. It doesn't naturally cruise at very high speed, motorway driving can be quite tiring. Wish the original owner had gone for the Cruise Control option.
