BMW 7 Series used review | 1994-2014 - Cars Guide
The BMW 7 Series is the largest model in the sedan lineup from the prestigious German marque. Interestingly, many 7 Series owners say they buy a used 7 that's a few years old instead of a new Holden Caprice or the like. While the BMW and Holden are similar in size and performance they differ greatly in service and repair costs. The greater mass and bulk of the BMW 7 Series means it's less exciting to drive than smaller BMWs, but road grip is excellent and steering is responsive in the manner of any big sporty sedan. The 7 Series, shape was simple and elegant in older models, tagged as the E38. but the all-new E65 series, launched in 2002, took a controversial new styling approach. The all-new BMW 7 Series, the F01, reached Australia in March 2009 carried a far more sedate shape. BMW's complex iDrive system was intended to operate hundreds of functions, with the intention of doing away with virtually every button or switch. Earlier BMW 7 Series had been famed for their straight six engines, but from the mid ‘90s these were often replaced by V8s. The latest models use smaller capacity sixes and eights.
