BMW 7-Series 3.0 V8 4d Auto (2000/V) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Knocks spots of a Jag. Better build quality.
Costs
A £40,000 car for £6,000. Bargain or what?

On the road
Driving
Can be driven hard in "S" or like a Rolls-Royce in "E".
Performance
Most cars struggle to keep up and look surprised at how quickly it accelerates.

Living with it
Reliability
Still serviced by main dealer. Never let me down.
Image
Not got the "Arther Daley" image of the Jag. It says class with a capital C.
Comfort
Like sitting in a comfy armchair watching TV.

Security and Service
Security
Factory fitted alarm and immobiliser and coded ignition if you feel you need it.
Service
Pretty good overall.
