7 Series Makes Forbes Top 15 List Of Cars To Avoid
Are we not surprised !!!
1. BMW 7 Series BMW’s flagship sedan seems to have lost its edge in recent years. It’s wrapped in languid styling and just doesn’t feel as sporty as it did in earlier renditions; an odd product lineup includes an expensive and not especially efficient gas-electric hybrid model. Consumer Reports takes the 7 Series to task for being “a ponderous, technology-laden vehicle with ungainly handling,” and is included in the publication’s lists of lowest-scoring cars, worst overall values and most expensive operating costs in its class. Not to pile on, but it also gets a rock-bottom resale value rating from ALG and a below average performance score from J.D. Power.

Yeah, the 7 series is a mess.
The F10 (2011 550) has also hit the consumer reports list of used cars to avoid based on it's poor reliability. |

Even Brian Cooley liked the 740Ld. Plus, is it really fair to take parting shots on a platform that's now obsolete? I like the 7 because it's understated, conservative, and fun to drive. I challenge anyone to drive a 2015 740 Ld and walk away disappointed. Even the fact that the platform has expired, BMW has kept the tech relevant over the years. The U.S. spec. Msport edition 740Ld has its own unique personality that is truly fun. |
