Looking to buy a '95 to '98 BMW 740iL (2557 views) (8587 thread views) 
Message: I am thinking of buying a used BMW 740iL within the next year. I am just a poor family man, and there is no possible way to buy a new one. A new BMW would cost more then my first house. I am looking for tips on what to look for and what to avoid in a used 740iL. My best friend has a 1995 740iL, and I fell in love with the darn thing. I am reading alot of horrior stories about repairs, and I am thinking this my be a poor choice in love interests.
I am looking for the facts good or bad about these cars. I need objective facts not rants. Please let me know what year and make the car you have is and what needed to be fixed and how much. I know there was an issue with the engine blocks on the 95 version. What numbers should I look for? How do I know legitimate recall work was done on the vehicle? Special problem areas to look for? I read ALOT about cup holders breaking. That is of no issue to me. The Germans put those in on a whim to make the Americans happy. I will be driving this car daily. I will not be drinking coffee in it. Thank you for any insight you can give.
