1998 BMW 7 Series 728iA review from Spain
"Best car I´ve ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension bushes, replaced at 110.000kms 30€ each.
Petrol tank caliper (90€).
Air conditioning belt.
Some pixels of the BC display are wrong.
Regular replacement of oil, all filters, etc.
General comments?
Fantastic car and reliability.
Smooth, rides nicely, comfortable and sporty at the same time.
I replaced standard shocks for Bilsteins.
Expensive spares, but as I don't go to official dealers, it's reasonable.
Probably the best car I have ever had.
With the optional 18 inch rims, it looks superb.
I paid for it 10.000€ with 85.000kms 3 and a half years ago. Probably the best buy I´ve ever made. It puts a smile in my face every time I drive it.
I strongly recommend it. Cheap to buy, reasonable to maintain if you find a good unit.
