  • The Smaller 7 Series - 2001 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    Have found that this 740I has all the pleasures as the 740IL has to offer but with less bulk to handle. Have been driving it for over three years and been trouble free with 50M miles plus and the handling the roads in the mountains have been what BMW noted for on curves etc. The gas mileage on long trips avg around 22 to 23 miles per gal. I have found that the 2001 is the last of the old style and possibly most of any problems they have had been cleared up. I have noted that you do not see many resales for 2001 and they have been holding up in value. Would I buy another BMW 7 Series, Yes.. A Good 05 or 06.

  • One of the Best Cars on the Road - 2001 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    The 740i - sports package 00 or 01 is "the" car to drive. Speed, handling, cornering and road grip is unmatched. No other 4 door car can come close to the 740i - none. Too bad BMW ruined the 7 series and soon all series with that bulky, ugly, bubbly design. Shame on BMW for pulling such a stupid move. If youre looking for a great vehicle try to find a 00 or 01 740i - sports package miles 40K to 60K in the $28K range You will love it. Again, 740i not the IL

  • INCREDIBLE ULTIMATE MACHINE - 2001 BMW 7-Series

    I must say if you can love a car this is it! This car is very powerful, fun to drive and reliable. Everyone admires the car and it is very luxurious.

  • The Ultimate Driving Machine - 2001 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    I searched for just the right car - a 2001 740i Sport in Anthracite Metallic Gray with Black leather - stunning. I bought from a BMW dealership and paid to have it certified (smartest thing Ive done). Ive had the car for 5 months now and it has been to the dealership several times. They had to replace the radiator, the power steering controls, navigation screen, cupholders and now the opera shade in the back. However, I knew I wasnt buying a brand new car, and at 4 years old it is in great shape and now flawless! I will definitely keep this one until I can afford a 05!

  • E38 Flagship model from BMW. Beautiful simpler. - 2001 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    This is a great comfortable car to own I owned it for 10 years and I have to admit, nothing comes even close on comfort on long stretch of road. Exceptional comfort. I have traveled cross country on this car for many times and seats on these cars are simply best there is.( 16 way extra comfort and roomy cabin its a first class seating like airplane.) One thing people do not realize is that if you are buying this car after 15 year of production, BE READY to spend money to tune this. If you are tight on budget. this is NOT a good car for you. if you want to restore, enjoy riding this like new, this is one beautiful car. much simpler to troubleshoot then newer models with a lot of gadgets. Get the 2001 last year and look for well cared car with detail service history its worth a while.

  • Amazing - 2001 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    This is the finest car I have ever driven. I love the acceleration and handling in addition to the superior comfort of the ride. I can honestly say that I will probably never drive another make other than BMW. I am sold for life on BMWs! the other day, I had a guilty pleasure when I beat a car-full of teenagers in a drag race on the highway. They were amazed!

  • 740il review - 2001 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    I just bought the car about a week ago. The car is awsome. It has features I never knew existed on an automobile. The last car I bought was an Acura Legend. Great car, but the BMW is head and shoulders above my Acura. The fit and finish is a 10. It drives like a sports car, not at all like a big car. It is extremely responsive. It feels like the car has a lot bigger engine than a mere 4.4 L and 282 horsepower. The rear passengers go in style as well -- heated seats, separate heater outlets, ski pass through, on-board navigation, you name it. Im a happy guy!

    Never a problem in 4 years. Garage kept year round, rarely used in winter.Twice a year detailing - looks like new. Had windshield replaced, thats about it. Also has a facia shield on the lights, hood facing, etc - which is imperceptibel but guarantees against cracks, knicks etc.

  • AS LONG AS I CAN DRIVE ONE I WILL - 2001 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    The 7 Series is not my first BMW just my first 7. This car is combination cruiser and sports car all in one. This car growls when the throttle is pressed but yet very smooth and quiet when driven on the freeway.

  • Best car I ever owned - 2001 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    The only other car that came close in terms of fun was my 1964-1/2 Mustang, but I was young then, and not looking for luxury. The 740iL is comfortable, roomy, powerful, nimble, and quiet.
