Review of BMW 7 G11
The car demonstrates perfect handling. It navigates corners excellently and responds quickly to any steering commands.
There are no rolls or drifts even when maneuvering at high speeds. Initially, I was concerned about the car's significant size. However, the sensitivity of the handling later dispelled my fears. The vehicle is reliable in turns. It may not be a sporty car, but overall, maneuvering is not an issue.
There are no complaints about the exterior appearance. The car is positioned by the manufacturer as premium, and it lives up to that expectation in practice.
In my opinion, the «predatory» front headlights and radiator grille immediately hint at the model's good speed characteristics. However, I wouldn't recommend pushing it to the limit. The car is simply designed for comfortable driving.
For enthusiasts of high speed, it's better to look for other cars. The 7 Series can exhibit decent dynamics, but it is best suited for relaxed driving.
Review of BMW 730i E32: More Advantages than Disadvantages
Good day, everyone! I have owned this car for 3 years now! As for the car's drawbacks, I must mention the unreliable front suspension and the high cost of spare parts! Nevertheless, the car is good, despite its age!
The engine has good torque — reaching 200 km/h is not a problem, even with a mileage of over 500,000 km and without major repairs! Before this car, I had a Lada 21099 and a Toyota Supra Twin Turbo from 1987, and those cars couldn't handle my driving style as I constantly rev the engine to 5000—6000 rpm, but this one does!
Great maneuverability — I love playing chess on the highway and in the city! Excellent sound insulation, even with a worn-out muffler, the cabin remains quiet! The cooling system is excellent, with an oil cooling heat exchanger installed in my model, ensuring that the temperature never rises above normal even in the hottest weather while stuck in traffic!
The heating system is excellent, keeping the windows dry in any frost — none of them fog up! And most importantly for our winter — the engine starts in any cold weather, unlike some newer foreign and Russian cars!!! A great, reliable, sturdy car! If I ever change it, it will only be for a BMW 730i E38!
Review of BMW 7 E32
I must say, Bavarian engineers did not disappoint with the interior — only premium materials, leather-trimmed seats.
The quality of the seats' craftsmanship is impressive. Sitting in the car is very comfortable. There is no leg or back fatigue even after hundreds of kilometers on the road. This comfort is present both in the driver's seat and the passenger seats, enhancing the overall comfort level.
The seat adjustment options are also impressive. The positions can be customized optimally.
The model also stands out for its thoughtful ergonomics in the cabin. Activating various options requires minimal effort. All buttons and levers are placed with maximum simplicity and convenience. Moreover, many functions can be accessed directly through the steering wheel.
Enhancing the driving quality is the onboard computer, which helps to solve various tasks. You can:
- adjust the climate system;
- view current vehicle metrics (fuel consumption, speed);
- switch music;
- sync the onboard computer with a smartphone;
- plan a route using the navigation system.
The operation of the onboard computer is compatible with Android and iOS smartphones. The navigation accuracy and the responsiveness of the onboard PC are commendable. Lagging and long delays are eliminated. The maps are detailed.
Great insulation. The wheel noise on the asphalt does not distract from a comfortable journey. However, the sound of the engine is fairly noticeable, both during acceleration and cruising.

Review of BMW 7 E23
Good day! I have had a BMW seven series with an E23 body for a couple of years now, bought it second-hand, well-maintained. The car has few issues, responds quickly to the slightest press of the accelerator pedal. Good acceleration.
However, the car lacks significant off-road capability. It is exclusively designed for urban jungles. There is no slipping or loss of control even when driving on snowy slush. Of course, this is largely determined by the quality of the installed tires.
Overall, the car is better suited for highway driving. Venturing onto roads without solid asphalt pavement is not recommended.
As I've noticed, the risk of breakdowns is minimal. The car starts having issues only after 100-150 thousand km of mileage. Even then, problems are likely only in the absence of proper maintenance.
One must consider the vehicle's demand for quality engine oil and fuel. Counterfeit products can damage the engine. Finding a similar power unit will take a lot of time. Moreover, such parts are expensive.
Review of BMW 7 E65
The car is fantastic but comes with its fair share of problems. The most unpleasant aspects are the cost of repairs and parts, taxes, and insurance.
Repairing the seven series is expensive. Original parts are costly, and it's not worth getting serviced at cheap workshops by «backyard» mechanics. It's best to entrust the car's restoration to professional mechanics.
The situation with taxes and insurance is similar. The high cost is primarily due to the powerful engine. Sometimes, owning the car for a year could cost around 150,000 rubles. A specific drawback is the challenging parking. The car's dimensions pose difficulties.
The trunk volume is another downside of the car. Although the model is not intended for transporting bulky cargo. But overall, I'm satisfied with everything else — the car is good, comfortable, and attractive.
