BMW 7-Series 3.0 V8 4d Auto (1993/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Been stung a couple of times for heavy servicing.
Costs
Big drinker. Manage about 24mpg on motorway trips, but then I do flog it.

On the road
Driving
Beautifully smooth car. Power steering makes light work of lugging this heavy car around. Suspension slightly bouncy but car holds road very well.
Performance
V8 gives so much torque. Whether accelerating from 0-30 or 80-100 it always has something there to give.

Living with it
Reliability
Been let down once - water pump/belts/rad fan but really for an old car this is great.
Image
Slightly old before its time, but so much road presence.
Comfort
Big comfy leather seats make staying awake on the motorway with cruise control and armrests a battle.
