  A nice experience with my 740i - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By the MB - August 29 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car certified-pre-owned with 36k miles on it. It is a blast to drive and I get a lot of compliments on its styling from clients. I appreciate the fact that it can hold three car seats across in the rear. It has had two repairs in 12 months new ventilation fan motor, new fuel injection o-rings. This would have totaled about $1,000 without the warranty. While this kind of thing seems typical, and is certainly not cheap, a used 740 has a great overall value proposition.

  Too Much Fun - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By RobB - August 11 - 2:00 am

  Since I bought my beemer in 00 I have just loved it. It did go thru a period of breakdowns around 80K miles but this is to be expected especially how I drive it. I regularly run at 115 to 120+ on the open Northern CA hwys. Very responsive and fun. Comfort level is way up there. Raced it a few times at Infineon Raceway. This is a car that loves to fully aspirate in huge deep breaths and so do you when you drive it.

  Absolutely Love It!!! - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By beemerguy - August 7 - 2:00 am

  I have owned several BMWs, but this is by far the nicest most pleasureable one to drive. Maintaining it is worth it since it has all the attributes of a sports car and the accomodations of a luxury sedan. Super for business or family.

  fun and pleasure - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By jere - July 21 - 2:00 am

  Have owned car about 16 months. Fun to drive, especially on trips. Some problems I wouldnt expect...radiator replacement, valve gaskets...but have found a reasonable repair shop. Looking for a 2001.

  By rickter - June 29 - 2:00 am

  It is an awesome vehicle, but it costs to keep them going. I had the same problem with the "check taillight" alert. It is due to water getting in the rear light assembly. Costs about $300 to get both fixed. This car really scoots and is very fast and fun to drive. Its worth the $

  My last BMW - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By MJS - April 20 - 2:00 am

  My second 740 and what a disappointment. Too many minor problems, mostly electrical and all costly. Virtually all 1998 versions have leaking rear light assemblys( condensation after rain) which cause false "brake light out" messages. The climate fan is loud and costly to repair.

  Great Performance AND Luxury ! - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By MKTViper - April 5 - 2:00 am

  The 750iL is unlike any car Ive driven. The V12 accelerates so smoothly and quietly it feels like a (very powerful) electric car. And you can select "Sport Mode" on the transmission and dampening control for a high performance rocket that rivals 2+2 sports cars! Luxury features on this "top of the Line Bimmer" are abundant--to include power/heated REAR seats! Only complaint: lots of wind noise with exposed moonroof due to improper windshield fit. About $200+ to fix.

  too many problems - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By johnfra - January 28 - 2:00 am

  This is an absolutely incredible driving car, nothing can touch the BMW driving experience. However, as exceptional as this car is in driving and performance its equally disappointing in its reliability. My car has been in the shop for so many issues I cant recall them all. The majority of the problems were fixed under warranty but I had to have the radiator replaced,new suspension components, a complete new ignition system ( this one was especially fun since the car would not shut off with the key completely removed from the ignition,)along with just nagging problems.

  Big Money Wasted - 1998 BMW 7-Series
  By timber - January 27 - 2:00 am

  Great performance car, but the electrical and mechanical expenses will nickel and dime you to death. Looks great and interior is fantastic, would not own another bmw, ever. Better have a large amount of money for the repair bills. Has been running about a grand every 3 months on my low mileage vehicle.. a 1998 with 30,000 miles.
