#1302 of 1312 Preparing for a 2000 740i Test Drive by bgcolo Oct 31, 2008 (5:42 pm)
First thanks in advance for any advice you may have on test driving this car. I am a pretty particular when it comes to cars, and I truly have fallen in love with this beauty. 96k miles and I am thinking very well priced at 11k. Impeccable condition and this guy has spent his share at the dealership. Aside from the regular maint, he has replaced the PS pump and hoses, Wiper motor, Front brakes, Tires, Radiator hoses, Water pump.... I am looking for some advice in specifically what to pay attention to when I am out with it. Please Advise Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 31, 2008 7:00 pm)

Replying to: bgcolo (Oct 31, 2008 5:42 pm) In terms of a test drive I think if I were you I'd spend the time to work every switch, lever or gadget in the car, either before, after or during the test drive. That would include all the windows, trunk latch, hood latch, cruise control, radio, AC/Heat controls, power seats both sides, etc. And pay attention for any warning lights--some are not too visible in daylight.
#1304 of 1312 2005 BMW 760Li by atoriti Dec 08, 2008 (9:24 am)
The hood release on my 760 is not working and I was just told by the BMW dealership here in Orlando that the only way to open the hood is to break the front grille and access the latch. Has anyone heard of an issue like this? or know a way to open the hood without destroying the grilles? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 09, 2008 8:45 am) bmw559 (Jul 12, 2009 10:59 am)

Replying to: atoriti (Dec 08, 2008 9:24 am) That sounds totally nuts to me. Is there a high-line body shop in your area, that repairs cars of this calibre? I bet they know how to do it without using a brick.

Replying to: atoriti (Dec 08, 2008 9:24 am) I have the same problem with my 760Li. How did you get finally get the problem fixed?

#1309 of 1312 Seat in new 750iL not comfortable w/gap from seat to thigh-support rest. by bellhead Jul 28, 2009 (7:01 pm)
I found the seat of the new 750iL (and and '07 I sat in) not too comfortable. And what's with the thigh support thing that slides out and leaves an empty gap that the back of your leg falls into? I need the thigh support because of my long legs, but then there is just empty space from the back of the thigh support pad to the seat cushion, and it feels awful. I test drove an '06 7-series 3 years ago and, from memory, thought the seat was bigger and much more comfortable, and I don't remember the thigh-support issue. Overall, the seat cushion did not tilt back enough and the seat just seemed a bit small. The 5-series had a better seat. Am I imagining things? I'm 6-feet tall, 210 pounds. Thanks.
