1994 BMW 7 Series 740i review from North America
"Love it, but be prepared to take care of it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering hose (common).
Oxygen sensor (common).
Intake manifold gasket (common for mileage).
General comments?
Excellent ride quality. Safety, performance and comfort are tops in the 7-series. Even a 1995 740i (well taken care of mind you--but not perfect), provides a better ride and driving experience than most every other car I have owned. Maintenance can be a bit higher than
Lexus, Infiniti or Acura, but the ride of a 4000 lb German luxury sedan with almost 300 horsepower that lives for long rides on the interstate is worth it. Seats are very comfortable and lots of other comfort features. Add 18" wheels/tires and the car is more aggressive with regards to performance. Would buy again.
