The body and the way it floats when it drives and takes bumps.
The 750i is a dream car it floats when driving it. The most big issue it eats a lot more oil in went time also run flat tires always need air.. I like the car but must have parking for it even though not the li but sits big car. Also heavy on the gas but it is worth the drive.

Nice feature to have the availability of a plug in the armrest.
The car is great. It is got great mileage so I never have to worry about always finding places to fill up. The car performs the same as it first did when I bought it with rarely any major problems. I appreciate the spacious inside but the very sleek outside.

Super series awesomeness.
Awesome family car! We go tons of places with other family and friends! Rides totally smoothly and is a total. Gas saver which is so useful today. I look forward to getting a new one soon. Plus same 7 series!! We totally love it! Hardly no problems... If so, always normal!

Its has no problems as of yet and I had it for a few years now
As of yet, My Vehicle has no problems The performance is amazing. It can ride thru rough weather, has good speed, etc. It's very reliable for long rides, such as Road Trips and it's pretty comfortable; seats go back as recliners, Soft Leather on seats

Fast, furious, beautiful and attainable luxury for all.
It is fast and beautiful. However, it is expensive to maintain and has an awful oil leak, which we knew was a big deal, but are furious about having been blown off by. It's now been a class-action settlement, but we're now facing an enormous repair bill.

A classy spacious driving experience.
The car is reliable and equally comfortable for me at 5'4' and my husband who is 6'5'. The driver side has two memory seat positions. Conversely we have experienced oil leaks in the oil pan and the turbo oil line. The acceleration is very good. We spend approx $60 (premium) to fill.

Amazing awesome fine to drive all the time with friends and people.
I like this car a lot. It gets me places and back. I look forward to waking up and driving every single day. I use it to drive everywhere I do. I will probably get another one here in the near future and will continues to drive thank you for asking about my car and worker do not about it.

A first class vehicle, great ride.
My vehicle is very reliable, I have driven it across multiple states and enjoyed the ride. Mileage is pretty good and comfort levels are off the charts. Features include a first class entertainment system and all luxuries of a BMW. I didn't face any problems so far and enjoy my car.

Opinion - not the best driver but confident in my vehicle.
The car goes fast sometimes. Goes slow when pressing the brakes. Very sensitive controls. But overall a good a durable car for most situations and is recommended for intermediate drivers like myself. Great handling overall for residential areas and going slow down the street, I feel comfortable.

The massage chair does is the best feature in my opinion.
Since BMW is a foreign car when it needs maintenance it might be more pricey than other vehicle. This is a reliable car as it drives very nicely and smoothly. It has a comfortable ride and seating is good. It has nice features such as massage in the chairs, Bluetooth, and much more.

The vehicle is red and very old school.
No problems, but I would say I do want a more updated vehicle where I can drive longer distance and have more mileage on it so we can all go on vacations because living in Kentucky is somewhat boring to be honest. But other than that, we do not have any problems with this red van, it works just fine to me.
