I didn't look at which section this was in, so I guess the 7 looks pretty good, especially now that BMW has given it a facelift.

7's are such headaches. There in every day for some programming issue that we have to do to them. Not to mention all the electrical problems they have since everything is the car is computer controled. Instead of having a hurge car payment save your money and get a 03 540 with sport package. Manual or auto whichever your prefrence. M5's are to expensive to fix, 645's are overpriced, and like I said, 745's are in the shop all the time.

If you're worried about money, you wouldn't be driving a 6-series or 760.

Wait, you mean people buy expensive cars to drive? I always thought it was just so they could list it in their signature of online forums.

^^:Why would a person buys a $$$$BMW and just keep it in the garage where he/she will not enjoy it.?
Buying an expensive luxury cars means the car is good and reliable, and not software or electronic problem everytime...I know these cars are not cheap to maintain but the if the problems keeps on coming?:

BTW,
Did you see a 19 yr old user at MB.world where he traded his Mercedes frequently :!!

I remember seeing a 750iL in my buddy's shop one day. When I asked about it, he said he was taking the entire top half of the engine apart just to change a faulty 25 cent o-ring. Total cost of the job? $1200

745's have a campaign out for 1 o-ring in the timming cover that breaks down and coolant blows everywhere. It pays 30 hours of labor and your suppousted to take out the entire engine. Ofcourse we can get it done in 10 hours and not remove the engine.

Someone in the neighborhood right outside of my apartment complex has a 760iL. Most of th etime, I notice they are driving a sorry ass loaner x3 2.5. Sad. I expect to pay big money for somthing that will hold up better, not the opposite.
