Driving impressions: excellent engines , plenty of power from both engines under all driving conditions, the V12 powered 750il can be really thirsty in city traffic. Excellent handling and comfort, new better widescreen navigation became available in the late 2001 models , these units are much easier to work with than the previous small screen versions. These cars are getting to the point where almost anybody could afford one, use caution when considering buying one of these great cars,- watch out for: service history as repairs can be costly, leaks in the power steering system. If you are in the market for a 750il consider buying one from a colder climate as the V12 engine generates so much heat that in hot climates pretty much all plastic will stay in your hand/brake/ when you work under the hood.
