poor engine reliability

by BigBob on Sat Aug 25 2018

The BMW 750i was a great car to drive and was very comfortable but spent more time in the shop than on the road. From inferior fuel injectors to leaking turbo coolers and an unreliable electrical system, even though I miss the ride I don't miss the maintenance bill. Do you ever wonder why you see these cars turned in as used cars with only 50,000 miles on them? Also, why doesn't BMW have a warranty that goes out to 100,000 miles instead of 50,000? If BMW would focus on a limited number of models instead of 20 different models, maybe they would be more competitive with Infinity and Lexus.

2009 750Li

by WhipsAnonymous from Indianapolis on Mon Mar 11 2013

I have had 3 previous 7 series, all Li's. 2002, 2003, and 2008. The power of the 2009 is very addictive. My 2008 I felt like the interior was a bit better on the interior quality. In the newer model, there seems to be more plastic which is kind of shocking of a car whose sticker can easily reach 6 figures. Like the updated I-Drive. It is much easier to use than previous generations. Love the looks of the exterior, just wish there were some nicer touches on the inside, specifically the door panels, and the dash. All and all, happy with my upgrade. Gas mileage is averaging 15mpg. I drive probably 70/30 highway/city.

Great car but bad at retaining its value

by ceorich from Chicago, IL on Mon May 15 2017

Overall great car when everything is working fine but when something goes wrong its a pain to get it fixed. Have been taking my car back to the dealership for drivetrain malfunction error for the past 3 years and never seems to get fixed. Always a short term fix but problem always comes back. The vehicle is terrible at retaining its value, once a $101k car now only worth about 12k. Overall its a great and luxurious car to drive but not really a smart financial choice.

Excellent

by Bob Bauer from Charlotte, NC on Sat Apr 04 2009

I replaced my 2007 MB S550 with this 2009 750LI and couldn't be happier. I did find the I Control a "little" confusing to operate and I'm ashamed to say that being I've had a 745, (2) other 750's, a MB S550 and also currently have a CL 550 all with similar controls - but this one is a bit different. I guess it's time to read the manual.

Tech dysfunction meets ergonomic torture

by Bummed - But no one to blame but myself from California on Wed May 11 2011

Worse car I have ever owned. The list is too long to go into. Take some time while test driving and execute all the stuff before you purchase. This vehicle is the equivelent of 10 nagging ex- wives. Save yourself and do not purchase this or subsequent models. This is my 4th and last 7. The ergonomics are a disaster. Nothing works the first time. How about 38 consecutive tone warnings when you don't fasten your seat belt. You should wear a belt, but he point is the car will nag you to an early grave. Arm rests that dont fit, electronic stuff that doesnt quite work right the first time, cup holders blocking A/C and other dash functions, little to no storage, funky seat placement, F1 sized mirrors, noisy trany, jerky power band, 12 step program to engage the radio, I could go on for an hour. That effectively describes the rest of the services-design of the car. This car will torture you to the point you will leave it running with the key in it with the hope some poor soul will steal it. Pretty cool look, but the car is truly a dysfunctional mess.

Great Car

by Rick from TX on Sun Sep 15 2013

Of course it's a great car, that is why people pay six figures to buy one. The complaints related to interior features in another pose seem silly. You did not notice the cup holders, armrest and radio functions until after you bought the car? Did you test drive it? I suspect there are other issues here outside the quality of this car. You can argue that no care is worth $100k, but if you've got it, this is awfully nice!
