1990 BMW 7 Series 750il review from North America
"Sport yet, luxurious!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water Pump went out 1 week after purchase and car overheated.
Radiator blew from water pump going out.
Power stearing pump went out 2 weeks after purchase.
Transmission pump went out 1 month after purchase.
Transmission had to be replaced 2 months after purchase - car would not go forward or backward.
Battery had to be replaced at same time as transmission.
Computer system went out 4 months after purchase and had to be replaced.
Chrome manufacturer's rims had to be replaced 6 months after purchase because tires kept going flat and would not seal with the rims due to rims being warped.
Back seat will need to be replaced because springs in the seat are popping up.
Radar detector quit working.
Fuel gauge sticks and doesn't work.
The fuels circuits blew and had to be replaced - which cost $600!
General comments?
This is a great car - when it's all working right!
The car has great pick-up and runs like silk. The car is very quiet on the road and can seat 5 people comfortably.
