Thanks to those who kindly responded to my previous questions. I am now officially in love with the 740 and have to have one. I agree that the other competing makes do not deliver the same level of style, comfort and performance.I test drove a 98 il and really liked the extra back seat room. I also tested a 2000 I with the sport package. Wow! My only problem is that my large butt did not fit as comfortably in the sport seat. The ride also seemed more harsh with the sport package.Is it possible to get an il with the steptronic transmission without the sport package? If so, what year was it available? Also,what year are the nav. systems typically found in the cars? Thanks in advance for your help.

I just purchased the 2001 740IL in june. Wonderful car, to say the least. But Even with the sport package, i dont believe you are offered the steptronic in the iL model, ONLY the i. My iL has the sport package, though not the steptronic...The navigation system is what it is. I dont find myself using it that often, but it is nice to know it is there, though difficult to use while driving. Good Luck
