Good Points

Performance, comfort, overall design, safety.
A truly exceptional car.


Bad Points

None.
Well ... it is a V8 so it consumes gas accordingly.
Also, the audio system is very nice but lacks depth.


General Comments

The quality of the BMW 740i is total; engine, body, interior, transmission, breaks, suspension, steering, comfort, safety, control, style, a discreet work of art.
At 170 km/h'silence, silence and tranquil exhilaration, confidence, time and space disappear. It is better to drive this car solo'no distractions, just the pure joy of driving. However, passengers will also love the ride. When on this car, people tend to speak less.
On this car, a sharp curve bends against the laws of physics and stretches and flattens as you ride it.
A road in bad conditions on the 740i transforms into a velvety path.
The breaks; simply superb'the car simply stops, now, gently, even in demanding situations.
Power'289 hp, enough to get you from 0 to 100 km/h in 7 seconds'at 100 km/h press the gas pedal and you will find yourself gliding at 160 in no time. The sound of the engine is glorious.
Everything in this car is about smoothness, stillness, efficiency, beauty and precision, considered a luxury car, there is nothing ostentatious, false, fake or superfluous about the 740i. This is not a show-off car. Everything in it has a purpose, nothing is fake.
The BMW 740i is German car making at its best.
There are some real problems to the 740i:
Trips are too short, no matter how long.
There is no Autobahn here in Canada.
The speed limit becomes increasingly meaningless and absurd.
You will choose a coffee shop not necessarily for the good coffee, but for a convenient parking spot, so that you may enjoy your coffee while contemplating your car.
From your 740i, sunsets are redder, rain is poetic, stars are closer.
Whether you are a religious person or not'this car will become your personal chapel.
I bought my 1995 740i with 106,000 km, in an astonishing, like-new condition.
If you are planning to buy one for yourself, go for it, just make sure that you are buying it from someone you trust, review the service history and take it for an inspection before closing the deal.
The 740i is a hungry car, but it delivers in proportion (89 octane gasoline, 85 litres tank, up to 700 kms per tank.).
There are some small, great BMW " European Imports shops, as an alternative to the BMW dealerships; they are usually half the price for parts and labour, and as efficient or more.
This is not a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, a Porsche or a Bugatti Veyron, which you would most likely not use for your everyday driving. The BMW 740i is a car to enjoy everyday, alone or with company. This car was designed for long trips between European Cities, it was made to last, to protect its passengers, to perform, and to be enjoyed.
A 10 out of 10.
