Performance and refinement
Running costs
The BMW 7-Series 740i V8 LS is all the car anyone could possibly need, although it doesn't look as classy as a Mercedes S-Class. Despite its size, it elegant. It's the luxury car for people who like to drive rather than be driven. My 7-Series is almost flawless; a fantastic amount of car for the money. Servicing and parts costs a lot, but not as much as the depreciation. I haven't had any problems with my BMW. The car is smooth to drive - the suspension irons out every little bump. It is an exciting car to drive. The V8 engine is tremendous. The cabin is sumptuous with cosseting seats and a quiet smooth ride. The rear legroom is adequate.
The car has more class than the old S-Class. The car is safe as it has ABS and twin airbags. I don't have to worry about security because the car is equipped with an alarm and immobiliser.
