1995 BMW 740i Test Drive
An all-new four-door flagship rolled out of BMW’s engineering lab for 1995, replacing the previous 7-series lineup with a fleet of bigger, more powerful, and even more luxurious super sedans. Boasting a new lighter-weight unibody with 100-percent greater torsional rigidity, the rear-drive luxo palace was now even more impressive. Rear-seat legroom expanded into mini-limo standard thanks to longer wheelbases for both the basic 740i and the even-longer 740iL/750iL, and the new body shape brought a slightly more dramatic visage. The standard 4.0-liter V-8 was unchanged, but the V-12 grew from 5.0 to 5.4 liters, pumping out 323 horsepower.

It has been mentioned, in other forums, that German engineering, in relation to that country’s cars, leaves a lot to be desired: Reliability, maintenance frequency, and vice versa. Ironically, their vehicles are hot-sellers in their home turf

I wonder why the German automakers disregarded the area of reliability of engineering whereas Lexus and Acura hit them so hard, at least in North America.
