Summary
BMW's 7 Series sedans are wonderful luxury cars. The 740iA comes with an optional Sport Package that provides terrific handling.The 740i Sport is hardly inexpensive, but it's the perfect luxury sedan for the enthusiast. After all, sometimes you need that back seat that the M Coupe just doesn't have.
