BMW reintroduces the regular length 740i after the uproar caused over its cancellation for the 1996 model year. Like the rest of the 7 Series, the 740i has a standard equipment list that will leave the Sultan of Brunei drooling with desire.

Pros:
  • Big car luxury, sports car performance.

  • Price.

  • Endless money pit - 1997 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    Great road car when its running, but plagued by extremely low realibility and extremely high repair costs. Bought this off lease and have had it in shop at least once every month since for various things breaking or not working. The A/C has been repaired twice at $1800 per trip, and still doesnt work all the time, new driveline, suspension, seat motors, DMK motors, the list is endless. Ive paid nearly as much in repairs as I did for the car. As soon as the last payment is made Im buying a Lexus.

  • BMW 7 Series poorly build - 1997 BMW 7-Series

    I love driving this car and the way it looks. This is why after having a bad maintenance exp. with my 1992 BMW 7 series and purchased a new 1998 series, all to find I have the same on going maintenance. I have now given up and I am selling to buy another car from another manufacture.
