Nicest riding, handling car I have owned

Great ride, very comfortable, very good performance, good gas mileage, reliable six cylinder twin turbo engine. Stay away from the 750li model unless you have deep pockets. The 4.4 liter twin turbo V8 engines have too many problems.

Quiet, comfortable and good acceleration

This 2011 BMW 740Li is the best car I have ever owned. The interior is very comfortable, heated seats are great, L7 premium sound and satellite radio are the best sounding factory system available. The car is quiet, smooth and has the power when you need it. The 3.0 liter 6 cylinder engine is the most reliable engine in the 7 series. The eight cylinder engines burn oil and have too many issues with the twin turbo set-up. Overall just a great car 9/10.
