Pros Absolutely beautiful, great interior and exterior, awesome power and world class handling
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

Recently my father traded in his Acura 3.5RL and purchased a 2001 BMW 740i. He went to the dealership to check out the 540 vehicles, but he always wanted a 740 but just felt they were out of his price range. Well, at the dealership was a 740i with 3,000 miles on it with the identical exterior paint... Read full review »

BMW 740i vs. Mercedes S500: Not as BMW as I thought it would be.

byherjazz Jun 13, 2001

Pros Balance of supple ride and decent handling, Brakes, Safety
Cons Disappointing engine performance and oomph, Steering too light, Expensive
Recommended it? No

Normally, I wouldn't be driving around in an $80,000 car like the BMW 740i, but today I had the chance to drive one as part of BMW's "Ultimate Drive for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation" program (also drove the Z3 Coupe 3.0i; see my other review). I've been a passenger in a 1997 740iL... Read full review »

Pros Best mix of safety, luxury, and performance available to the public
Cons So-so sound system, confusing controls
Recommended it? Yes

I recently bought a 2001 740iL. I have one word to say. AMAZING! This car feels agile and sporty, just like every other BMW, while having the interior space of a yacht.
First, lets talk about the exterior. Most people are split on this. I for one love it. To me, it looks aggressive and... Read full review »

One Great Car

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ride, handling, power, lights, comfort.
Cons Price, complex controls, so so navigation system
Recommended it? Yes

All the writeups in Car & Driver and R & T over the years put the 740 in a mental class all its own, in my mind. Last spring I was thrilled to be able to drive a beautiful Biaritz Blue iL model out of Gault Auto Sport. The presentation was fitting for a car that goes for almost 70k. It was under...

Pros comfortable luxury car
Cons A little expensive
Recommended it? Yes

The BMW is probably one of the finest cars that I have ever seen. It is a wonderful car for single men and women but also a nice car for small families of three or for. It comes fully equipped with a.m. f.m. radio, a cd player a sun roof and reclining front leather seats. This car is great for long... Read full review »

Pros Comfort, elegance, power
Cons Not for small or beginning drivers.
Recommended it? Yes

You turn the key and open the door. Sitting down on the plush leather seats, you make a call on your voice activated telephone, and set your one of two thermostats. You start playing one of six CDs, but decide to listen to your own robotic weather band instead. You decide to put up your sun shades... Read full review »

Pros Comfortable for tall people, powerful, lust provoking
Cons Wind noise from sunroof when closed and interior shield open
Recommended it? Yes

This is the 4th BMW I have owned. I started with a 320i, then a 325e, then upgraded to a 525i with 5speed, then a Mercedes c-class (major P.O.S.), then the 740il. Mine is dark blue with beige leather, tinted windows and the GPS. I am 6'4 and comfortably fit in the front and back seat. The trunk is... Read full review »

Favourite Car I Own

Pros Powerful, Impressive, Loud, Eye Catching... Everything a Man could ask for
Cons No ejector seat to discard someone who might say there's a con to this car.
Recommended it? Yes

This car is a pure classic and deserves to be revered as such. The ride quality and the roar of the V8 engine are hard to come by in any automobile and I am lucky to own one. I also own a 645i an X5 and a 330i but the 740 is by far the most fun and classy car that I own. I can take it anywhere and... Read full review »

Pros Fast, great looks, handling, comfort, and sporty
Cons repair costs, and use of high test gas.
Recommended it? Yes

The 2001 740il has superb handling and a refined interior with soft leathers and nice attention to detail. The seats are ergonomically designed and are among the most comfortable seats in the automotive industry. I bought this car with 112K on it and have had to put some money into repairs as it...
