It's the small things that drive me crazy!
Drink holders were broken the 1st month.
Lighted letters and numbers go out CONSTANTLY.
This car is a dream to drive. I've always had BMW's because they feel so safe, and this car rates at the top. It is smooth and fast and heavy, yet the brakes are fantastic and can stop on a dime.
Maybe it goes without saying the the 7 series is wickedly expensive to maintain when things go wrong, so I'll not complain about the thousands I've spent on too many things to count between 100,000 and 125,000 miles. As much as it hurt the pocketbook, the repairs were always fixed the first time around and car never felt anything less than totally dependable.
It is however, a big disappointment that the little stuff (the bells and whistles)inside the car doesn't hold up to use at all. The inside equipment breaks at a glance. Cup holders, seat controls, the entire center console as well as those orange lights in the stereo and dashboard just do not pass! This is stuff I've never considered fixing because it is too expensive.
Hi! I've got a 1998 740il and this car has 320000miles (320k). These are highway miles. The car runs strong and very quiet; no noise coming out of the engine. I mean, i am suprised that its got so many miles and more to come! I recently did a complete timing ($3100). BUT I LOVE MY B.M.W.
