Good Points

Very smooth & comfortable ride
Very little external noise
Cacooned in a comfortable well insulated cabin
Power delivery in AutoBox Sport mode quick and effortless when required
4 litre engine is reasonably economical returning 23 - 25 mpg driven between 70 and 80 mph


Bad Points

Intelligent gearbox changedown on hills is far from perfect and is more than capable of upsetting the balance of the vehicle as it decides to change down thro the box on a tight turn


General Comments

3k bought this 1994 BMW 7 Series 740i on gut instinct... no service history.. no owner documentation. But thankfully my instinct bought me a lady owned 42k genuine vehicle with as it turns out a full BMW service history and it is Superb,now looking for a 750 for more family outings and track days !!

If like me you are looking for a 60k bargain and want to stand out from the crowd.. forget the Subaru's Evo's and M3's buy an earlier 7 series. It still has the looks grunt and BMW engineering excellence that made the family one of the richest on the planet you will not be disappointed !!
