BMW 730d SE (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 18 December 2008 15:01

Barely 25 years ago, Mercedes and Jaguar had this market – then the sub-Rolls market – sewn up. BMW was knocking on the door but only got its foot in with the second-gen 7-series of 1986.

BMW 730Ld SE CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 13 March 2008 12:59

Big sports saloon or limo? Actually, the long-wheelbase BMW 7-series aims towards the genuine limo class. And it's huge. Huge enough to make you wonder if a 3.0-litre turbodiesel could ever be enough to shift you in VIP-style haste. So is the BMW 7-series a great limo to spend time in?
