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.

  • Big car luxury, sports car performance.

  • Price.

  • dream car - 1997 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    It has only been a short time, but from the first time with the car, my life has been improved. Not to mention the compliments from others. I am just completely taken with the car.

  • Great Rig! - 1997 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    Looks great: sleek, fast. Definitely turns heads. Awesome stereo, loud, hi- def, great CD changer. Loads of unexpected but nice "extras": heated steering wheel, power sunshade, memory seats. Expensive to maintain and every little items costs $$ for parts and service.

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

    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.

  • 97 740iL - 1997 BMW 7-Series

    My 1997 740iL is the best car I have ever driven. It has incredible power and I absolutely love it. The 282hp V8 engine is smooth going down the highway.

    Trouble experienced with cooling system (water pump & thermastate) and shorts in wireing systems.

  • Fun to drive, but mostly SAFE - 1997 BMW 7-Series

    I have owned both a 525 and now the 740il BMW and have loved them both. For luxury, style and comfort you cant do much better than the BMW. I also had a Mercedes and when I wanted to get a new vehicle, considered their 300 series. But for the money I would have spent to get a new Mercedes, I thought I got a better car by buying Pre-certified/used thru BMW!

  • Cant go wrong with this vehicle - 1997 BMW 7-Series

    This is an incredible car. There is not a fault I could find in it.

  • Awesome - 1997 BMW 7-Series
    By -

    This is the best car I have ever driven. The ride is fast and smooth. The stereo is unbelievable-- it lets you block out the outside noises and traffic jams. Although expensive, the used prices are a bargain for what you get.
