Own One At Some Point In Your Life - Then You Make The Decision. — The only car I have ever owned that I miss in SF. The Alpina B12 version is the most perfect performance sedan made. The only complaint is the GPS interface. Regardless, its the only car I've owned that makes a 16 hour road trip not only comfortable, but something to look forward to.

Great! — BMW are great cars, the ride is wonderful.The leather seats with heat cozy! Sunroof perfect for breezy days! I wish it was less expensive for routine maintenance or minor repairs. Thinking about upgrading to a Mercedes, but same situation lol!! Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

ProsIts a BMW ConsToo heavy and hard to upkeep

Expensive — Heavy Car, Expensive Repairs but great for long trips. Weak timing chain , has decent acceleration but its a very heavy car. When topped off, its even heavier due to its huge gas tank. Very expensive to fill up. Looks amazing though, very elegant. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Find Somebody Who Has One And Become Their Best Friend, Drive Theirs. — At over 4700 lbs this car is a tank, but the 5.4L V12 means it still hauls! The interior is the most comfortable of any car I've ever been in and laid out in beautiful fashion with all instruments and controls right where you want them. This is also the most fun car I've ever driven, the V12 makes a sound unlike any other, snarling with power yet elegantly refined. This is by far one of the most impressive driving machines ever created in keeping with the highest BMW standards. Driving this car, however, is where the fun ends. Owning it is entirely a different story. With a 25 gallon tank and an engine that calls for premium gas filling up isn't cheap even in the best of times. Repair costs are astronomical and not nearly as uncommon as they should be on a car like this. One must remember that despite the luxury car comforts this is still a performance car underneath it all. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

You Don't Know How Much I Miss This Car. — This is a '00 740iL, my first 4 door BMW. I chose this car so it can provide maximum safety to my then new born son. This was also how I accidentally discovered the best BMW I've ever driven! Back then, it was my wife who drove the car most of the time while as I still prefer the more engaging '99 M Coupe that I also used for track purpose. After 3 enjoyable years, I thought I traded in the seven for an '01 M5 and wouldn't miss anything - how wrong I was! I bought another 740iL ('01) a few years later. For review of this model, please refer to the '01 car's review. | ||

ProsPerformance, handling, styling, ride comfort Conspurchase cost, repair costs, scheduled maintenance cost

Best Car I Have Owned — The BMW is an awesome car. The ride, handling, interior comfort of the car is hard to equal. The styling of the car is timeless. The cost of the car is out of reach of most people ($90K) and extreme care should be used when buying a used one. The maintenance cost are very high if you want to maintain any resale value at all. The car is a real joy to drive; likely the very best car I have ever owned. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

ProsV12...V12....did I mention V12? ConsRepair costs enough to scare Donald Trump

Yep-it's A V12 — 5.4 Liter V12 (330hp/350lb), decent performance for a 5500 lb car, braking is decent, handling is relevent to it's weight, but still nice. Quality is outstanding but repairs are costly regardless how minor. Appearance is still decent for a car of this age. Ownership cost is not bad but definitely not cheap, definitely recommend getting a warranty with the vehicle. Fun factor is awesome, seats five with a trunk the size of a Prius and still does 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds, not Trailblazer SS fast but still matches power with an abundant of luxury items. Hard to believe this vehicle sold for 100k when new but nice that depreciation put it at a level the common man can afford. Must have M series rims, otherwise it comes off as your grand daddy's Beemer. Power everything spoils you silly and the Sport option on the transmission (also linked to the suspension) creates a whole different vehicle during "spirited" driving conditions. I love this car as I did when I owned one in Germany. Limited to 155mph stateside but I personally know this vehicle will do well over 175mph tuned properly.
