BMW 7 Series (2002 - 2008) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

It was my first BMW and I still own her. She drives like a champion. Smooth and feels like I'm floating. For the age of it I still get a lot of compliments and offers to purchase it. I don't have any plans on passing it on anytime soon. I'm still less than 100k miles and I've only had to replace the starter. Regular maintenance is the key to keeping this beauty rolling.Aug 02, 2014

I have owned many high end sports vehicles, at the present time I believe I have purchased the best money can buy in our 745LI. Comfort, style and drive are all to be commended as the top of comparable auto's sold. The price is still a bit pricey, but no question can be in doubt regarding all the features we were looking for in a car. Overall, the BMW is an amazing car well put together. It has everything you need, the exterior is amazing, the interior is luxurious, and the engine produces more power than you would think. This car is simply the dominant vehicle when compared to it's competitors. I would definitely recommend this magnificent car if your in the market for a 7 series.Oct 19, 2012

All I have to say about this car, is that it is the best car I have ever driven. It amazes me how smooth the ride quietly is, but some how the suspensions are stiff enough to prevent body roll. The BMW 7-Series is basically my old Buick Park Avenue and my Nissan Altima 3.5SE, put together which is the kind of car I like. Abundant interior space, with comfortable reclining Rear Seats. What is there not to like about this car, except for the price? This vehicle is a must have! Jun 06, 2012

This is a fabulous all-around family sedan with practically every luxury option imaginable. A big secret to many people is that these 7 Series BMW's are such a bargain once they get a couple of years old. They do not hold their value like the smaller BMW's, especially the 3 Series cars. That means there are some serious bargains to be had if you are OK with buying a used car. Most of the people who buy these cars new tend to take good care of them and don't abuse them when they drive. The trunk is enormous and the back seat in the Li model is large enough to have a party. It really feels like a limo. I have several other cars so do not drive this one all the time. When i do I am always struck by what a great car it is.Apr 25, 2012

Performance is terrific, this car has grunt and sounds incredible when accelerating hard, nice sound with V8 rumble. The main thing about this car is that although a large relatively heavy car it doesn't feel like that to drive at all. It handles incredibly well and if fact I have to keep reminding myself that it's not a hot hatch. The combination of dynamic drive and 20 inch wheels give it unbelievable cornering ability for a car this size. The dynamic drive means virtually no body roll! Brakes are awesome as well. The car is quiet and beautifully damped so that even with the large wheels it still rides incredibly well. 12.4L per 100 average fuel economy is nothing to complain about either....the trade off for not going for a 5.0 litre V8 as so many others do! Interior is once again beautifully finished and a great place to spend time. The leather seats are club leather and trimmed to perfection. I am shocked that the Motoring journalists complained about IDrive as it is so simple system to use and works well, I have no complaints with it - i would hate to see these guys on their computers if they have trouble with Idrive! Exterior looks very classy and works well with the 20 inch wheels. My wife thinks it looks nice as well...it has some attitude but understated and classy too! Ownership is an absolute pleasure, service is on required approximately every two years or (approx 20,000 kms) or according to the BMW computer which really reduces the time spent in service. All in all a great car, shame some other motorists are so opinionated as they really are missing out LOLOct 20, 2011

Well, after waiting and searching for more than a year, and after the nice 525dA e60, i found the right car, a 2006 BMW 730D. Of course, the 3 liter diesel is one of the best engines in the world, it works very smooth, great accelaration for a car that weights more than 2 tonns, and it has a great mpg reading. The looks are great, the interior is very comfy, everything is where you needed it. You'd think because it's big it would be clumsy on a mountain road, but thanks to the electronic damfer control and dynamic drive, the car is comfortable on the highway, and fast in the turns.
