2007 4dr Sedan 360-horsepower 4.8L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
BMW makes the absolute worst rubber seals, gaskets, and o-rings and interior kick panels of any premium car maker in the world. More than $5,000 worth of work needed in less than 100k miles just to fix every little oil leak, coolant leak, cracked rubber gasket, seal or scratched piece of interior trim. They could learn a lot from Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, or any Domestic Brand about what types of gaskets and rubber to use that don't fall apart after just a few years of service. full 2007 BMW 7-Series review
2001 4dr Sedan 282-horsepower 4.4L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
MANY "WEAR AND TEAR" ITEMS HAVE OCCURRED, INCLUDE HAVING TO REPLACE THE COOLING SYSTEM, REPLACING THE BELTS AND HOSES (WHICH ARE NOT CHEAP) AND AND MOST RECENTLY REPLACING THE REAR BALL JOINTS AND THE ENGINE GASKET SEALS full 2001 BMW 7-Series review
