2004 BMW 7 Series Sedan 745i 4dr Sedan (4.4L 8cyl 6A)
No Longevity Here
 After coming off 315K miles on a 1992 BMW 735i, we were anxious to have a newer version.Interior trim is cheap, as noted by kick panels and sill plate's "interior colored coverings" coming off to reveal a different color underneath. Don't touch the sill plates with your shoes!Car has 85K on it and has had 2 fuel pumps replaced within 100 miles of each other ($1,283.82). Newer BMWs apparently had numerous fuel pump issues. Suspension components, per the dealer, are worn and leaking and need replcement, note these are non-serviceable components.Front thrust rod bushings needed for $1062.46; and rear wisbones need replacement for $1,075.So much for the "driving machine" they taut.
