I love the hooked up feel of this car. The drive is very responsive, and the feedback to the driver is perfect.
The engine is more than capable, even in this heavy car; very little throttle is needed to get it moving and maintain speed.
Fuel mileage has been a pleasant surprise; 24 miles per gallon country driving!! 26+ on the highway.
I have also driven the car in snowy conditions, and find it very predictable and capable on slippery roads.
I really think that the 740il is a spaceship but drives like a airplane... I'm young and I like fast cars and cars that bring a lot of attention and turn heads. I wish I had the chance to pull up to high school in it LOL instead of my caddi LOL... my car has high miles but it still rides smooth n quiet... 4.4L owwwwwwwwww.
