2000 BMW 7 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Great car, stereo could be better, well built, well designed. Maintenance costs fair, very fair compared to my wife's Mercedes R class. Traction control works flawless in all weather conditions. A big car that handles well in all conditions even when you push it hard in the corners its very stable and predictable.

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.

What I like most about this car is that it is economical on gas consumption on long trips. I drove the car from Washington, DC to Durham, NC on less than a tank of gas. The on-board computer kept me abreast of fuel consumption at 65 mph and the remaining distance to my destination. With gas prices at $4.00 in the Maryland area this was a great benefit. What I don't like about the car is that it is expensive to maintain and consumes at lot of gas on short trips.

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.

Great car! Easy to keep, easy to maintain, Joy to drive! Had some issues when I bought it 4 years ago, fixed all of those, upgraded the navi, fixed cd player, everything works and its a pleasure to drive! Will buy another one when I decide to get rid of this one (if I ever do!)

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.

The BMW E38 is the best luxury sedan ever produced, bar none and the 2000 BMW 7 Series is the model 3 years prior to the end of production of these in 2002.

EXTREMELY FAST, 510BHP, All black, full entertainment package, sat radio for back seats, Gemballa seats, full power
