Pros: Great power, Very comfortable seating, Fantastic handling, Overall great ride!
Cons: Upkeep is expensive.
The Bottom Line: This is a great option for a used car, but do your homework and have the car checked out to see what has been fixed and what could be coming.

Pros: Perfect balance between luxury and performance.
Cons: A lot of gadgets to stay working properly for a while
The "7 Series" BMW captures the essence of the car maker's slogan, "The Ultimate Driving Machine." When you close the door and sit inside of a 740iL, you enter into another world. A world filled with comfort, security, agility, and ... read more
