What Car? says
For It’s a fine-driving, hi-tech luxury car with a big interior and refined cruising abilities
Against Its looks are 'distinctive' at best, and the iDrive system annoys a lot of drivers
Verdict
The 7 Series is powerful and refined, but its appearance isn't to all tastes
Go for… 730d
Avoid… 760i
- 1. Gearboxes and electrics need watching
- 2. The air conditioning has a nasty habit of packing up, so check it's in full working order
- 3. The cabin is huge and lavishly equipped
- 4. The iDrive rotary control system can give irritating levels of trouble - check it all works
- 5. The boot release mechanism is known to fail on some cars, so check it carefully
