New 7-series price point and weight could tip buyers towards used BMWs in New York

For consumers who need a luxury sedan that goes from 0 to 60 miles per housr in less than 5 seconds, it may be easy to justify the $136,000 that a new BMW 760i will cost. Others who enjoy the styling and quality that the line offers may prefer a used BMW 7-series in New York that runs less than a quarter of that price.

The cars represent the top-of-the-line for BMW sedans, and a V12 engine that puts out more than 540 horsepower to the wheels along with a spacious interior and an eight-speed automatic transmission to help the driveline handle the power, according to the automaker’s release.

But consumers who like the design cues of older BMWs without the “shark nose” of more recent models, and would enjoy a luxury sedan that can propel them from a standstill to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds may find used BMW 745s more to their liking.

The 2005 model allows drivers to enjoy a “satisfying” level of ride comfort, even when the sedan shows “its ability to slice through curves considerably faster than expected,” according to Cars.com reviewer Jim Flammang.
