2006 BMW 7 Series

Smooth, powerful luxury!

By hammer65 (NH) on Wednesday, April 17, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 59,000

Pros: "Luxury galore, very safe, comfort, nice power, MPG"

Cons: "BAD in snow, sunroof is loud"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This car is remarkable. The comfort is great. I'm 6' 3" and this car is amazing. I have had 4 - 5 series and an X5 and this by far is the best....unless you are talking about snow- NOT GOOD! I figured because of the perfect weight balance this would be good but it is terrible! It would be the only reason I go back to a 5 series. Even without the Xi badge the 535 was amazing in the snow. The only other small complaint i can even think of is the sunroof. It is very loud with the slide pulled back. I just don't understand that on a 90K car."

operation cost

By don (AZ) on Tuesday, April 16, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 63,000

Pros: "great drive"

Cons: "high gas and repair cost"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 4

"My BMW 750i is a joy to drive, when you can afford to drive it. Only 16-miles city, premium gas only. The repair cost after the warranty is super crazy. after 5-years things began to break quickly. A break repair can be $2,000. After warranty used up. The service department care less about your car care. The resale value drops like a falling rock! If the thrill of driving is what you want with no concern of gas and repair cost. I highly recommend. Otherwise, do as I did, buy a Toyota or Honda product and drive in peace."

Excellent Driving Machine

By Rich (SC) on Monday, April 15, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 48,000

Pros: "Comfort of ride, dependability and quality."

Cons: "Fuel milage. But who cares."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have even had this car on the race track and the handeling was exceptional. I drive this car like it should be, I often (continually) drive the car in excess of the posted speed limits, and usually in the 100 MPH range. The car performs as advertised. I will be trading the vehicle for a newer model of the same car, not because it is worn out, not by any means. This car will make the next owner an excellent vehicle. BMW 75Li is an excellent car."

Great vehicle until repairs come along...

By JK (TX) on Sunday, April 07, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 90,000

Pros: "most comfortable to drive and can be sporty"

Cons: "repair costs, no back up cam,"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"Great car until the repairs come,,,which can be very pricey. Beautiful and comfortable, but can be sporty and quick when needed (although long). Had a great time with it, but repairs that do come along keep asking myself if I should go for A8 or something else."

would not buy another

By scott (WA) on Friday, March 29, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 66,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"before I bought the car I was told that if you own it get rid of it before 50k. Didn't listen, got 66k on it and in the last 2 years I have had to put in over 4000 bucks. Now I just found out that the tranny has to be replaced, at 66k, unreal, cost 10k for a car that might be worth 20k. I paid 85k when I bought it new. My advise, get a lexus or an audi. THis is a nightmare. Im just gonna park the beast."

BEST CAR EVER.

"I've owned over 30 cars in my life time. This unit is the best. First used car I have bought in 25 years. Great value, comfort, style, and the list of options is almost endless. I also own a CLK350 Conv. also another fine German car."
