1995 BMW 7 Series iL review from North America
"Not cheap to operate, but worth every red cent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right rear window motor went bad, but only because my kid abused it.
Left tie rod end needed replaced.
Brake and tail lights are a bit fussy.
General comments?
This is the greatest car I have ever owned. Anyone who is not buying a 3 or 4 year old 740iL that some rich guy has taken the depreciation on, instead of shelling out 28K to 30K for a Toyota or a Honda... ought to have his head examined.
This car has cabin room galore. My 6ft 3in. 285lb. buddy loves to stretch out in the back seat. Plenty of room for a foursome, and clubs and luggage.
