2001 BMW 740 Reviews

Very fast!! Av done 180miles per hour last year on the Autobahn in Germany as there is no speed limit there. Amazing car!!! It has all what someone would expect from a proper car!! I mean , space, comfort , speed and high tech and gadgets!!
A well defined car which can exceed people's expectations. Try and see for yourself.

Despite being a large car, it handles as well as a smaller five-series, and I get the same mileage (16-18 mpg) as a 530i I considered buying with the 3.0L V8. Has plenty of features: large trunk, massive back seat, and plenty of power. Highway mileage is good as well. I got around 29 MPG on the highway, and thanks to BMW active seat, I was able to drive ten hours without stopping, even with my bad back.
The 4.4L V8 offers plenty of power, even for a heavy car such as this. The braking is acceptable. For handling, curves can be enjoyed at high speeds with little body roll.
I've required one repair, when the radiator sprung a leak at the top. Repairs can be expensive, with my mechanic quoting radiator prices at upwards of 450 dollars. I found an OEM Behr radiator for 175, so with installation, it was still around the same as I paid for the replacement in my Ford F150.
The car is heavy, and feels solid. The doors are quite weighty, and i've encountered no squeaks and rattles.
On styling, i'm partial to this car because I prefer lines as compared to curves on autos. The interior's styling is comfortable and upscale, with BMW using the better rubberized dash and wood grain, as compared to many plastic-fantastic interiors on other cars.
My well-maintained 740iL is a wonderfully fun car to drive, and i'm still in love with it, even after the honeymoon is over.

My Bimmer is actually the 2000 740i.  Baby is 8 years old with 150k on her, but I still love it.  For a ful size car she can move!  Tracks curves like a rollercoaster.  Comfortable to cruise along for hours.  Seats five without a problem, though I rarely have more than three in it.  I know I need to trade her in for something soon, but very few cars out there strike my fancy the way Baby does!  BMW redesigned the 7 Series after this model, and NO ONE likes it.  The new body style is due out for '09 with a return to the classic lines of my car.  We'll see.....

Very powerfull V8 motor. Rides like glass, one of the best cars ever made but what do you expect from a BMW flagship?

Its got a V8
