BMW 7-Series 730i SE 4d (1990/G) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought the thing to replace my company car (Omega V6) should have done this years ago. Lots of car for little cash.
Costs
On par with anything else I would have bought. So starting from paying very little I'm still quids in.

On the road
Driving
Very comfortable, quiet and pleasent to drive. Has the potential to let you drive like a nutter if you want to.
Performance
When you ask her, she picks up her skirt and goes like the clappers.

Living with it
Reliability
When it breaks down it costs some cash. But, the operative word is WHEN. 20k on this thing has cost me two services (£180 each) and an O/S/F shocker (£150).
Image
Looks fantastic, only shows its age when parked next to one of its new siblings.
Comfort
Soft leather (keep it oiled) Quite refined.

Security and Service
Security
Crap, none. Insurance companies wouldn't touch it until I fitted a CAT1.
Service
Never used BMW, but they have always helped on the phone or when I've turned up to ask questions. The specialists are the way forwards for the out of warranty cars. Otherwise it hurts the wallet.
