BMW 7-Series 730i 4d Auto (1987/D) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Cheap to buy second-hand and SO MUCH car for the money!
Costs
Not as bad as you'd think - fuel costs and servicing pretty high, but you don't buy these to save money!
-
On the road
Driving
Absolutely superb to drive - handles well, quick enough!
Performance
Not too quick off the mark, but always willing and completely unbothered by steep hills!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Takes a little while to fire on mornings, but never fails to start. Not let me down in any way yet!
Image
Your friends will think you're loaded, but does have a kinda gangster/pimp image (or so I've been told!)
Comfort
Mine doesn't have air-con, but I don't care. So very very comfortable in every other way.

Security and Service
Security
Factory fit alarm on turn of key - no remote or immobiliser. But insurance company made me get one fitted to cover me against theft!
Service
I use a local BMW specialist and I'd advise anyone else to!

Yes
