Objective Review From A BMW Enthusiast - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By Objective Review - September 23 - 2:00 amIve owned my 1995 BMW 740i for approximately five years or so. I am an enthusiast, and possess expert level knowledge. CONS: When considering purchase, these factors apply to most regarding suitability- Accurate service history is a must, unless one is well versed, and an expert as well. All repairs on a vehicle this age are expensive. Are you a hands on "DIY" individual? Not all shops are reputable, & are sometimes not capable of making repairs to this car, regardless of their general knowledge. Given the overall depressed used auto market, one is hard pressed to find a better value than one of these. This car is loaded with greatness.

Expensive Car To Own - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By Michael T - June 8 - 4:04 pmDo not buy this car unless you have about $1000 to spend per month in maintenance. You can lease a brand new car and have it covered under a warranty. I bought this car about 18 months ago from a guy that took very good car of the car, the oil was changed and the car very rarely left the driveway. In the last 12 months I have spent over $5000 on repairs that include new brake pads and rotors, new ac blower and condenser, new front suspension, new belts and pulleys, new water pump, new thermostat, new alternator and the radio still does not work. This car is great to drive and handles great on the highway but sucks down gas in the city and will only take 93 octane fuel. Do not buy this car!

hmm - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By Jon - March 5 - 9:57 pmBought used, told it was fine. 137,000 miles, I knew I would have to do some maintenance. Well it needed water pump, radiator, belt, head gasket power steering hoses. Asked my local repair guy to do it all and I was out the door at $700. What can you say those are normal, even on a Honda with that many miles, and the Honda does not drive like this, nor does it have the room. This is my first 7 and it wont be my last, nothing like this

Enjoyable Ride - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By tommoss - November 15 - 7:01 pmThis has been a most enjoyable car to own, albeit expensive to maintain. Road manners are great this car is not nippy but nonethless has plenty of power when you need it. I had great fun driving through the mountains in the west and out performed every other car on the road through the twisting gradients. Loved the seating and the luxurious interior and the great sound system. The absence of a built in compass and no automatic headlight cut-off was disappointing. Just after having spent money on new electronic displays, cupholder, etc. have now had damage created by being hit by a flying deer. A new hood will cost me $1700. How much more money do I want to put into an 11-year old car?

1995 BMW 740i - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By N.I.C - July 13 - 2:00 amFor a used car this is the best buy ever. This luxury car thinks its a sports car & boy does it handle like one,with a 282-hp, 32-valve, 4.0-liter V8 engine. The leg & headroom is great for a sedan, with a nice aerodynamic look, this car reminds me of the MD80 or a small jet.It has the M.I.D. system (Multi Information Display)if you pass gas the onboard Computer will tell you..lol..If you get this car make sure it comes with a manual & its like studying for a S.A.T Note: this isnt even the 740il with more features ...lol...If your a car lover a Bimmer is the way to go from the 3series on to the 7series it is a very sports like ride.

Love & Hate - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By kevlexus10 - November 30 - 2:00 amThis is the most fun car ive ever driven. Great performance and handling. Hugs the curves and rides like a dream on the open highway. But MAN !!! was I in for a surprise when it came to the repairs. Way too costly to maintain. And didnt expect the engine to go out at 100K. Good thing BMW fixed that problem quick. Get the engine checked if you plan on getting a 95 ($7,000-$10,000).

So sweet - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By Hxciter - October 23 - 2:00 amPurchased this car from my Dad, he bought it new, so I know the history. It has 63,000 miles and feels as tight as the day he took it home, quality is awesome, down to the door sounding solid when shut, and even how rigid the turn signal lever feels. You cant put this stuff into words until you drive this thing. Quiet on the inside, the heated seats heat up 3x as fast as my new 2003 expedition, and for a hog of a car it does move out. Love the way the engine sounds too. Not one single complaint. (although I have yet to have major maintenace work done yet, so I am unfamiliar with the cost of repairs. i.e. brakes, etc.)

Excellent Car with minor issues. - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By Rolly64 - May 2 - 2:00 amThis car is fun to drive, lots of room and plenty of power. My issues is the rear shade not working and needs to be replaced (according to dealer) and the passenger side view mirror does not move when you go to reverse. So, do I get them fix for over $1,000 or leave it alone?

The Good, Bad & The Ugly - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By K-Ray - April 1 - 2:00 amThe Good: Love the styling and performance, and friendly service people. It will all be over in 2 more months. The Bad: Hated all the service problems and service is over-priced (e.g., too expensive - new battery- $300+ Brakes- $600 annual servicing $600 2 new tires at 35,00 miles-$430+ headlamps brake-lights new belts, etc - too frustrating to list all problems). The Ugly: Salesperson lied about cost of service and maintenance("$50 maximum up to 100,000 miles). Service and maintenance costs were totally unexpected.

Help...Get me out of this thing! - 1995 BMW 7-Series
By Judy C - February 11 - 11:05 amMost troublesome vehicle Ive ever owned. So, whats the problem? Just trade it, huh? Well, while it has given me more problems than one could ever imagine, it has also been the most awesome drive Ive ever experienced. What to do, what to do? The inconvenience of contining visits to be serviced/repaired has just outweighed the love of the drive. Bye bye BMW.
