BMW's V8 Petrol vehicles are notoriously thirsty and require frequent visits to the pumps.

General Comments

The BMW 735i oozes class & attracts admiring glances everywhere. The E65 7 series has phenomenal 'Road Presence'. It is easy to manoevre for such a big car and the parking sensors are a great help when parking. Performance wise the 3.6 V8 engine pulls the car effortlessly and swiftly...surprising many 'Boy-Racers' off the lights. Ride comfort and interior space are second to none and the 100's of functions (including the i-drive) are simple to operate. The chassis feels wonderful for such a heavy car and speeding round twisty roads produces true sports car performance with amazing grip and little body-roll. Commands respect and offers a superior driving experience but unless you want the thrills & buzz of the V8, go for the 3.0L diesel and save yourself a fortune at the pumps!
