2000 BMW 7 Series 740 IL review from Lebanon
"It makes a statement!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, as it's still the beginning of the relationship.
Oil and filter change.
Front pads change, expensive at $130.. originals.
Replaced rear woofers, old ones were shot.
Everything in the car works.
General comments?
As a previous owner of 2 beemers, an M3 and an M5, BMW's are no strangers to me.. They are fun cars and reasonably reliable.
This 740 drives like new even with 97,000 miles and everything works like it should..
Enough power to move this heavy car, and the handling is better than many smaller size cars.
Room is massive in the IL version and the interior is quite comfortable.
It's a very quick car from point to point and relaxing at the same time...
I wanted the latest version, but always had a soft spot for the E38...The shape is simpler and classic..
MPG is 17/18 overall, which is OK..
