2001 BMW 7 Series 728i SE review from UK and Ireland
"Good, but seriously flawed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lots!
PDC sensors (x2).
Climate control failed.
ABS control box faulty (over £2000 to repair).
Stereo amp failed (£800 to repair).
Front dampers.
Window seals rotted (poor quality rubber).
Various trim feel to pieces. Brittle plastics and bad design.
Electric windows broke.
Brittle windscreen cracked twice for no apparent reason.
Print wearing off various buttons.
General comments?
A good looking and quite quick for its size, drives well and has good road presence. All this spoiled by substandard quality and tear-inducing repair costs, even for minor items...
