Very Good Car - 2001 BMW 7-Series
By Bimmer - June 3 - 3:41 pmPurchased new when I traded my 93 740iL. 93 had better interior and build quality but needed engine replaced at 110k. Both cars very comfortable, powerful and attractive. Have had to replace radiator, expansion tank and water pump as well as front end work. Great integrated phone and (older CD type) nav, all voice activated too! Phone/radio controls on steering very handy. Will never buy car without those features again. I find the nav system easy to use but all require some time to learn. Wish CD player was not in trunk. It is quiet at highway speeds and has a huge trunk. So far I have had nearly 80k of great driving. Hope next car will work as well.

The Ultimate Driving Machine - 2001 BMW 7-Series
By 01AnthGray740iSport - April 24 - 7:44 pmI 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 John - April 15 - 5:14 amThis 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 Moab - March 11 - 7:18 pmThis 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 hornbeck1 - January 6 - 10:29 pmI 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!

farese bmw valuation - 2001 BMW 7-Series
By frank farese - December 8 - 5:41 pmNever 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 SEO - November 27 - 6:17 pmThe 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 Jim Horning - November 25 - 9:50 pmThe 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.

2001 740iL - 2001 BMW 7-Series
By fpfarr - June 21 - 2:00 amThe car is docile and surprisingly sporty for a large sedan (mine has the sports package). You have to look behind you to remind you of the amount of metal thats following you. The car does everything for you. The interior is well crafted, extremely roomy. It is likely the safest car on the road. Acceleration is impressive. The best car Ive ever owned by a long shot.

740iL - 2001 BMW 7-Series
By Spalding - June 7 - 2:00 amSuperb balance between athleticism, comfort and style. One of the few European luxury/performance sedans where adults can sit in the back seat without my having to move front seat up, or apologize profusely. And even Consumer Reports musters respect for its build quality and reliability.
