  This car is why Im a BMW fan - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By keymstr - July 27 - 2:00 am

  Ive had the car for 4 months now and have put 7,000 miles on it already, including a 3,000 mile cross country road trip. Ran flawlessly, in the flatlands, in the mountains and in 115 degree desert heat. Never changed the temp from 72 degrees and was comfortable no matter the outside temps. Ive had some work done since owning, but all under warranty. This is my second 7 series. My first was an 88 735i. It had 150,000 miles on it and I put another 85,000 on it. Never had drivetrain problems. Im a huge fan of these cars. Ill probably get another in about another 100,000 miles.

  Great looking, fun to drive, lots of power but what a headache to maintain. Would never buy another.

  Run dont walk from this car - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By Yikes - April 12 - 2:00 am

  Door handle broke off in my hand. HVAC motors made squeaking noises. Power steering pump and hoses failed. AC clutch failed. Front suspension shimmy - bushings failed. O2 sensors, thermostat, idle control problems. Front chrome(plastic) grills cracked, fell out. Main drive belt needed replacing after only 20k miles. Now here are the problems still to come that are COMMON among other 740 owners: Radiator (plastic!!) hose neck will fail without warning and strand you. Catalytic convertors will fail. Transmission will fail at 60k. Oil pump bolts may be loose and thrown up into engine.

  Best Luxry Sedan, Get One - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By arimah1 - February 21 - 2:00 am

  I replaced my Lexus LS400 with this car after I got rear ended. The car had 104k miles when I bought it and still looked and handled like new. I have put 15k miles in less than one year and all I have done to the car is change the oil. It is a blast to drive. One big surprise, I get 27 MPG on the highway driving at 80 MPH. What other V12 can do that? The faster you go, the more powerful it gets. Handling around corners is excellent for a vehicle this size. Interior has all the comforts one will need and quality of finish is great. Better than every car I have owned including the Lesus. Get one today and experience a new high in driving pleasure.

  pleasantly surprised - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By bmwraf - February 20 - 2:00 am

  I seriously considered a used lexus before driving the 7 series bmw. This 98 had only 25K miles and was garaged. However, it needed some deferred maintenance and since has been terrific. Elegant and muscular, it is the perfect car for highway driving.

  The next best thing to flying. - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By vnammoman - December 10 - 2:00 am

  The BMW 740iL is absolute fun to drive. Its performance is outstanding. The 4L engine provides plenty of power, but most of all, the road handling is superb. Just a touch of the wheel and you corner like nothing else. Its as though you were flying, not driving.

  By jtb444 - November 11 - 2:00 am

  Finally got the car Ive wanted for years in great shape with only one prior owner. Love the power and the looks. I cant see myself in the 2002+ model. Minor mechanicals but great dealer service at very reasonable prices compared to my wifes Volvo dealer. Son loves it!!

  My new used car is great - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By NewUsed BMW - September 11 - 2:00 am

  I was lucky to leave the lot with this car after shopping for an E-Class or 5 series, my bank showed me the value of the 7 series by not financing the smaller cars to my liking. Next thing I know, I am driving the Ultimate Driving Machine flagship car. Just lucky, I guess. Everyone interested in used cars, should check the loan values and learn it is easier to get the flagship BMW than to settle for something less. E-Class is less.
