1997 BMW 7 Series 740 il review from UK and Ireland
"It's an expensive obsession"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaky petrol tank - common problem for those in the know apparently - IL has special 100 liter tank!
Suspension bushes.
Bonnet cable.
Electronic niggles.
Phone died - repair would cost more than the actual car!!
Consistent power steering fluid leak.
Catalysts.
General comments?
Getting on in age and has a deteriorating image.
It is so nice to drive though! Although I've been beaten in overtaking by a Nova banger because the damn auto gear box change.
This is a car for those who love it, otherwise it's soo expensive to run.
