2011 BMW 740i

Like all 7-series sedans, this car coddles both driver and passengers with all manner of luxury amenities. That this car is powered by a turbocharged in-line six rather than a V-8 is not an issue, because the 740i never feels as though it is lacking for power (at least the way I used it, as around-town transport and a freeway commuter). If there's such as thing as a bargain when you're talking about ultra-luxury sedans, the six-cylinder 740i could be it. Amy Skogstrom, Managing Editor
