BMW 7-Series (2015 - 2022) 730d M Sport 4d Auto Owner Review

The car was pre-registered and approx. six months old when I purchased it. The car is comfortable, smooth and nice to drive especially on long journeys. However I would be extremely disappointed if I had paid anywhere near the OTR price. This is supposedly BMW's flagship model and I would expect a lot more from a car costing in excess of £70k. Its just basically a number of small issues that are irritating such as some of the controls are not visible from my driving position, its not that I am particularly tall or indeed short its just that the car has been designed for Left Hand Drive and sitting on the "other side" causes problems. The car is not garaged and the recent cold weather has revealed that the doors and the boot freeze solid and cannot be opened unless given a warm water bath first, something I have not experienced in some 40 odd years of driving other cars from various manufacturers. Water is channelled down either side of the front and rear screens when it is raining etc., and carries all the road dirt with it but it doesn't run off, so the mud stays in these grooves and they are too narrow to try and clean by hand and in the case of the rear you have to open the boot to access them so power washing is out unless you want a boot full of water. There are various other points as well but do not have the space or time to write the details.
