Depending on the year, the 740i can be an excellent car. If it's the E32 style (which is pre-1995), I've seen lots of them around still so I'm assuming it's a really good car. If it's an E38 (1995-2001), avoid the '95 but the rest of the years are great cars. (The '95 had a weaker engine that was replaced the following year) I have a 1997 740i and it's an amazing car. I disagree with the guy that said 7 Series cars age poorly. You just have to know how to keep them updated. If you buy an older E38 like mine, it will have black plastic rocker panels, old-looking tail lights, and ugly rims. However, if you get the black painted to match the body color, change the tail lights to the 2001 style, and upgrade to the M-parallel wheels it will look 10 years newer. The 7 does not look outdated and aged at all if you just spiff it up a bit. It is also pretty reliable and it has amazing power and handling for such a large car. The only difference between the 740i and the 740iL is the length of the car. The 740iL does not have any more standard features or a bigger engine or anything, however the 750iL has a V12 and tons more equipment. If you want to find out if that's a good price, you can check www.kbb.com to find out what the car should be selling for. The 5 Series is too round-looking for my taste, however I do think it is a pretty car. I just don't like its style as much as the 7. The 740i just looks more stately and sophisticated because of its long, uniform look. It's your car though, so pick what you like. Happy hunting!
