1999 BMW 7 Series 740il review from North America
"The ultimate luxury cruiser with sporty driving and handling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator cracked around plastic tank. Small power steering leak, otherwise trouble free.
General comments?
The ride and interior comfort are outstanding. Engine power is awesome and it handles like a much smaller car. My wife and daughter who are both small find the car very easy to maneuver even though it appears large. Fit and finish is near perfect and car has a solid tank-like feel.
