General Comments

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.

    I recently had a road test in this model and I feel you would have to be very easily pleased to give this car a recommended rating.
    The interior is nothing special for the price, the 'i' drive is complicated and not intuitive.
    The suspension is bettered by Audi A8,Mercedes S430 Lexus LS 430 and (and I have since bought one of these cars after extensive road testing) and according to JDPowers and American consumer reviews the BMW 7 is not a reliable choice.
