BMW 750li is the biggest body car (sedan) BMW offers.
Only problem I have is the oil burning too fast constantly having to put quarts of oil and getting oil change. Comfort is ridiculously luxurious! Each seat has its own personal heater conditioner and massager. Bumper sensors very spacious. Back windows have shades that automatically roll up and down with just the push of a button including rear view window.

The ride you'll never forget.
This is a really great vehicle that is stylish and durable all at the same time. It is also special because it caters to disabled male or female with all of its features placed on the steering wheel. The inside is has more room than the average sedan vehicle and the ride is very smooth. This vehicle features heated seats during the winter front and back seats that is and air conditioning in the front and back during those hot summer months.

The vehicle was all automatic. I loved it
My silver BMW 750i is the most amazing car I've ever owned. For the amount of time I had the car so far I have not had to take it to the shop to get it worked on, well except for new tires, but other than that the vehicle holds up really well and plus I take good care of her. That car was a super nice luxury car, and let me tell you, driving it everyday always felt like I was driving a spaceship everywhere.! No joke! The ride was amazingly smooth. It was just an amazing car all around.

BMW's are considered a sport car and they are really awesome.
I love my BMW but the only problem is that if anything messes up, the parts are so expensive. So before you purchase a BMW make sure everything is good on it. Make sure they have it inspected and tell you if anything it's wrong with it. Make sure you have the money for a BMW.

Costly to repair and maintain.
I love the look and feel of the car but the down side is the price of the repairs and maintenance there's no comparison to the luxury though once you drive a 7 series BMW you will not want to drive anything else.

Very Comfortable and affordable
It is a very comfortable vehicle for the taller people and feels good when behind the wheel I do not struggle with fitting into the vehicle even with it's slender design

Car has all the bells and whistles. Like driving it.
Have a few minor issues also burns a ton of gas. Very large vehicle so parking can sometimes become a task. Maintenance is very expensive.

2006 BMW 750Li - High Maintenance
The BMW 750Li is a good looking, comfortable car that can go fast, but handles well. There is plenty of legroom in both the front and back. The truck space is excellent. The biggest drawback for the 7 Series is the extreme expense for maintenance and repairs. For example, replacement windshield wipers cost $75 at O'Reilly's or the BMW dealers. An oil change is $250 because they check all the fluids. I never have gotten used to relying on the vehicle's computer for almost everything. There is no dipstick. You are notified when the oil is below the minimum. This makes it difficult for me to decide how much to put in.
