2020 BMW 750Li vs 2001 BMW 7-Series // Luxury Meets Legend

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is 2020 BMW 750Li, and it meets its grandfather, the E38 2001 740i, which costs far less and is rear wheel drive. Both are V8s, and both are BMW flagships of their time. But can the old one stack up, and is the new one worth the massive premium? James and Thomas jump behind the wheel of both to experience them and discuss them inside and out. Watch and enjoy.

    Steven Strain I think all manufacturers have sealed transmission now which imo is stupid. I’m a Toyota dealer mechanic and all their vehicles except for the Yaris has sealed transmissions. I have a BMW 335i as a summer car and that too has a sealed unit but I change the fluid every 70k.

    Steven Strain True. Toyota’s newer vehicles are not as well made as the previous ones and I think that goes to all car manufacturers. I think they want people’s cars to break down after the warranty period so they could trade it in for a new model while it’s in their shop. And I do see that often.

It was so well put together you could feel it in the drive, the seats, the suspension, the buttons.. everything. Though my Mazda 3 is much newer and has more technology, for a drive the bmw was a better ride and 30 years older. It made my Mazda 3 drive, look and feel cheap lol plus I also don’t think my Mazda would last or stay in as good of condition as the bmw has for 30 years

    5:09 I can in fact say that steering wheel is the E39 5 series M sport steering wheel. However the 7 did get a 3 spoke steering wheel, it just looked a bit different. Also I’m in agreement with most of the comment section that I prefer the E38 over the new generation. I own one currently and it has over 242k miles on it. My dad’s E38 has 320k miles on it. BMWs of this era could never hit that kind of mileage without needing serious engine or transmission work. I’ve even driven the new 7 and even though it has more power, it just doesn’t compare to the old one. The E38 is just way more planted to the ground and you feel like you’re getting an actual driving experience when the new 7 just feels way too floaty. EDIT: Hold on, they said the E38 went 0-60 in 6.8? Almost everywhere I’ve looked I’ve seen 5.9 for the 740i. I don’t think they were correct on that regard.

Great design, simple interior, without all those stupid tablets and screens, yet luxurious enough for me and last, but not least, sporty handling, which defines the BMW brand. I could say about the E38 that it is the ultimate driving machine...
