1996 BMW 7 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers appreciate the power, comfort, and handling of the 1996 BMW 7 Series, with many noting its performance on highways and long drives. However, the car's fuel economy and maintenance costs are often points of frustration. Owners love the luxurious interior and features like heated seats, but some have faced issues with electrical systems and parts replacement."
Runs like a champ well over 200,000 on it and never needed a thing.
June 25, 2008Probably the best 4 door sedan around ...ever... in terms of reliability ease of maintenance comfort and performance. Hell...I own 2 a 1989 735il with 200k + and a 1991 as well...Really great automobiles...These cars are really easy to maintain and parts are readily available and affordable from non-dealer parts houses.
May 29, 2010Performance – acceleration is slow, braking good, handling excellent Build Quality – Some bulbs fused here and there Appearance – Immaculate Cost of Ownership – gas mileage - High, maintenance - High Fun Factor – is this car fun to drive? Too good

July 14, 2008Full size car but handling like medium car; Comfortable, powerful.
November 7, 2007This is the best car I have owned by a long way. I bought it to drive to Finland when I moved there and cruised through Europe in comfort. The boot swallowed all my belongings. It sounds like a dream.
April 7, 2011Solid car, very well built but for the size of the engine it got terrible fuel economy. very high cost to maintain and once the electrical system had a bug in it everything else usually started to fail. not very good acceleration but did have a very high top end making it an excellent car for highway use. handling was surprisingly good considering the size of the car
June 6, 2010Low end acceleration a bit sluggish, but overall excellent car. Great in all types of climates. Big but can turn just as good if not better than smaller sedans. Lovely on the Autobahn. Still respected as one of the greats.
July 31, 2009This car is huge and its a long wheel base model (limo) but I must say it has the same 0-100kph performance as the same age M3 :). It was the first 4-door Super car in the world but not to be confused with its little brother the 740I V8
May 2, 2009It's actually a 1993 740i (e32). This one has been in my family from the start. My dad bought it at Competition & Sports in Greenwich in 1993. He drove it for about 20k miles. My brother-in-law drove it for another 60k miles in the SF Bay area. I've had it since 2003 - 140k miles and still going strong!
May 3, 2008Bought it used from a party, have served me very well over 5 years, but it is aging and the age is now showing even though I try to keep up the maintenance. Undoubtedly, it is fun to drive, especially long distances. Driving from California to Colorado was a breeze.
