1999 BMW 7 Series 740i review from UK and Ireland
"Performance luxury car with handling to match. Try one. Buy one"
General comments?
Terrific to drive, especially down winding country lanes. Alpina suspension lent a near faultless ride and handling.
Without doubt the best car I have owned to date. Its combination of smooth performance and comfort never ceased to amaze.
Recently changed to a '98 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 and have regretted it. The BMW delivered more than I imagined it would, whereas the Porsche has so far failed to live up to expectations.
