2005 BMW 7 Series User Reviews

Pros

Elegant and Powerful!

Cons

I get teased that by my family that it sleeps in the garage.. only goes out on weekends, & occasions

Purchased As Used

Sitting in this vehicle is like sitting in a aircraft cabin! There is so much technology in the BMW 7 Series (2005).

For example, I bought this car in Jan. 2008, and didn't find out that the steering wheel warms up (button to left of column) until 3 months later.

I was impressed with the bult in navigation sysytem (GPS) which is technology that even some cars today don't even have (clumsy external GPS' that sit on your dash or window)...forgedaboudit!!

Here's a list of some of my favorite tecnology gadgets that come with the 7 series (2005-2009) models if your intereted in becoming a very sastisfied owner.

1. Automatic Bumper Sensors (to avoid parking boo boos). Right mirror also tilts down to see curb when backing.

2. Heated seats for rear passengers as well. Also includes drop down full tilt vanity mirror for your guests.

3. Voice command your Radio, or multiple CD's to play.

4. On board phone that pops out of the dash. Hooks up to your cell phone to browse numbers from car screen, keeping your eyes closer to the road. Older models require kit attachment.

I hope that my short review was helpful in your decision making.

Pros

Stylish, high tech powerful, sticks to the road

Cons

Having to drive this on 60mph roads !!

This car has all that you can wish for in a car. Rear heated seats. Park distance control. Assisted door closing. Motorized trunk opening mechnism. Power seats that provide just about every degree of adjustment.

The 745 has awesome acceleration, especially in the "S" sports drive mode. For a big sedan, keeps up VERY well with the smaller sportier counterparts.

I've heard many reviews raving about the car's performance, but rebuking the iDrive system. Let me ask you this: Are you computer savvy ? Probably are, since you're reading this review online !! For anyone who has used a computer, this iDrive system should feel like 2nd nature. I can't believe the amount of flak that this system has received !! All I can say is that the reviewers who actually get paid to test-drive these dream cars are over-paid and dumb.

When you sit in this car, you'll totally feel like you're in a luxury car. The amazing interior lighting using fiber optics and strategically placed LED's provide for an ambience that is just right. Competitors like the Lexus LS430 use cheap-o plastic interior accoutrements that are direct lift-offs from their Toyota counterparts....read morehide

Pros

Very masculine inside and out, Luxurious all over, Devilish engine response.

Cons

Paid 115,000 usd in Mexico for the 2006 750i

Had the Benz S500 when leaved in the U.S (just because thought it was more reliable then a BMW) then switched to the BMW.
Turned out that both had a terrible customer service in the U.S as well in Mexico.

The interior of the S500 2001 (un-like the BMW) felt very feminine, to curvy, it felt like anything would slide of its interior, got bored Quickly with the appearance inside and out, Felt more suitable to be driven by an old lady.

The BMW was everything good the Benz was lacking. (If you are not an old lady)

Unfortunately public opinion (Particularly in the U.S) is to have the BMW more curved, and fewer masculine....read morehide

Pros

Fast, Comfort, Roomy, Big trunk, LOTS MORE!

Cons

Nothin at all

get this insted of the ls430 and the s500 it all bout the BMW 7. It has better fuel economy and power.

Pros

Great Performance, great brakes, great handling, great comfort and safety tests!

Cons

Controls (Have patience and get use to then)

In my opinion, this car is the best car out there. It beats the Mercedes S-Class as well as the Audi A8. This car is satisfying and pleasing. I'd reccommend this car to all that can afford it!!

Pros

ok very good car

Cons

brake dust the only problem with this car the best car i have driven

love it, no passenger complaints very nice with a lot of room for the family on road trips

Pros

Best sedan I've ever owned

Cons

none really, gas maybe?

The v-12 can almost overpower a lamborghini gallardo...This car is perfect for any occasion, and you dont even need to know how to drive to own one, the car does the driving for you...my first accident, the front sensors sensed i was getting too close, so it applied my brakes without my foot, and moved my seat up, so the airbag wouldnt hurt!!! It's the smartest car I've ever owned! All I see when I go to the country club are 145's but then I park my 760 next to them and everybody knows whats really goin on, haha...no but for real, this is the best car on the road, sooo comfy, even the back seats recline, are a/c and heated, and have lumbar support....read morehide
