Buying a used BMW 7 series F01 - 2008-2015, Buying advice with Common Issues

Please review bmw F07 5 GT

I have the alpina b7 2014 2nd owner 58000 miles no issues

Should I buy a 730d 2011 with 170k miles ?

Dissapointed.

2015 750li 70k and problem free

Such a great video, thanks a lot!

Can i buy 2009 BMW 730 LD diesel automatic now

Great video. I currently own a 2013 F02 N55 LCI MSport and it’s amazing. Heard too many stories about the N63 so that steered me away from it. No engine problems just oil changes every 3000-5000 miles. I also top off the coolant and oil every month or so. As far as electronics, there’s some minor problems (sunshades, vanity lights) but nothing that affects my driving ability. I also love the fact that my car has air suspension in the rear as standard.

Stop playing that shit background music!

Please review F07!

I just bought a 2014 750i with the 4.4. it has 73k miles. Everything seems to be running smooth so far. Reading these comments has me sick though. Should I be worried????

Everyone knows E38 is King

Very good video, I have the 2013 740i, with currently 98,000 miles. No problems " yet". I drive it daily. I get the oil changed at every 4,000 miles, just to keep the engine running smoothly. I recommend this vehicle.

Great info? 2010 750 li seems to be in limp mode

W
hy bmw 7 series f01 specs is not on websitete

the 740i with the n54 is a good buy. they are cheap right now and you can maintain fix and even replace the n54 engines for under $1500 now. ive put 200k miles on my f01 and its just now having electronic power steering issues and i just recently had to replace every control arm on the front suspension and the rear air ride. i replaced the engine for $1400 with a brand new freshly built n54 and the car gets driven daily . it was only about 3k dollars to make the repairs and its brand new again. it drives SO good. i want to get a new 7 series but theres no point when this one is still THIS good of a car.

shit music
Also speak fluent english before making a YT video.

I’m looking at purchasing a 2008 750li. Alt ought my mechanic will probably never speak to me again, but I’ve always wanted one and there’s on for sale with 130k miles had a significant passenger from fender bender and was fixed up. Owner says he had it serviced recently and says everything is good working and ready to go. $5000 for it which I think is pretty good. I’m wondering if anyone thinks that particular model year/engine is one to stay away from.

i bought a 2011 730d a month ago
all can i say i hated everything german
a month with not a single day without issues

Is it true that diesel BMWs from this era do not rattle at cold start when the timing chain is bad, but instead give out without warning ?

This F....... music in background..

Build quality of interior is not great actually… have u at least driven it before? I have one and it squeaks and creaks in every turn

what about 3liter engine??

Second owner of a 2011 BMW 760LI with M sport package, watched this and many more videos before purchase. Only replacement was tires front and back with reg tires not run flats, immediate results of better handling, smoother quieter ride. Only maintenance is oil change,with a trans fluid and filter change in the future. Very enjoyable car, the v12 is extremely smooth with torque from 1500 rpm onward. I steered away from the 750i and li because of his recommendations, and tested a 2016 5 series but found its back seat too small and overall ride comfort was not like the 7. For such a big car it doesn't feel like your hampered by its length and seems to me to handle more like a sport sedan then land yacht.Oh and be prepared for total strangers to tell you how much they like your car. Hope you love your purchase..

Could you shared about 730Li , is it worth to buy?

Change all my oils at 3500 miles

Am in Nairobi kenya and am thinking of buying a 2011 750li msport 4.4 Petrol please advise thanks Obrien wejuli

mAAAAAAAAAAAAN where r u???? missed ur videos!

Man i don't care what people say.. I love the look and drive of a 7 series just like the next person.. but this shit ain't worth it!! smh i've gone 3 7 series and this shit is unacceptable!! every other day there is something wrong with that vehicle.. i've owned a 2005 S500 and now have a 2012 Audi A8 and i've NEVER experienced any of the shit that I have with all 3 of those 7 series... BMW has to do better.... that twin turbo engine was a piece of shit... and in all the cars it was in not just the 7 series.. X5, X6, 5 series... that engine was pure trash!!! for so much money those high end cars always in the shop.

Which is more reliable W222 Mercedes s class diesel or. 730d pr 740d?

Man, I am dreaming of the day to see a happy BMW user who spends less than 6 weeks per year between garages.

Which engine is better from this model? I mean which of them is not very capricious, little problems! I have e38 740i single vanos! This car has never let me down in 10 years! Always sure on the road! I like the f01 exterior and interior! But I heard to many negative problems about it!

Stay far from this model unless you have a deep deep pocket, and enjoy spending time at mechanics and with Tow truck guys

Looking to buy a 2013 bmw 750il with 120k miles on it what are some issues I can expect to deal with ?

That Model BMW 08-15 has the worst engine created by mankind the N63 : the issues will become overwhelming to a owner from unusual battery draining to rapidly burning oil etc etc… don’t do it unless you are ready to blow you money. All you have to do is to Google N63 issues. And BMW is not standing behind its product all they were offering was a customer care instead of a recall…. N63 engine is a piece of Garbage‼️‼️‼️‼️😡🤬😤

Ive paid $16,700 in repairs on mine in two years, and now have $12,000 or more in other issues since the head gasket is worn/leaking and other issues. My biggest cost was replacing air suspension.

Thanks for info

Great video. Keep up the good work.

Is buying one of these with 48 000 km from 2012 a good idea? it has the 4.4 V8 but the mileage is very low. Its not crashed and repaired tho.

Watch out for the front wheel comming off and driving off the cliff. Can be expensive.

How to go poor fast: buy one of these 😂

I got one but left side rear suspension had flat after 8 years drive.

So, looks like I have to avoid all of them.

Thinking about purchasing this 2017 bmw 7 series 740i 90k miles on it.. is it trustworthy let me know

You mention the 750i (I'm assuming also the 750Li) was the worst re: V8 engine problems - - from what year to what year are you referring to on these?

If I buy bmw 2013 740i 120000 miles .. is it will be good.

Run !Run! Horrible cars especially the v8 BMW. Complete junk. After 50k miles the trouble begins..

Wish I saw this before I bought my 750i with 4.4. I've owned 7 BMW's and this one the maintenance is unreal, can even get an extended warranty. I have 58k on the 2014 and constant nickel/dime issues with door locks and everything he mentions with the infamous 4.4 engine. Warranty ended recently and last year BMW maintenance spent almost $20k in dealership costs. Timing chain and front seal was $8200 alone, injectors and two coils $5700 and now door locks. Dealer wants $1400 a door, I bought new locks on ebay for 76 dollars where BMW wants $574 each. If you buy this car and its nice be sure to find a local repair shop and have them on your speed dial I was shocked how a car that was $102k new, I bought for $46k with 10k miles and in show room condition the trade in value for a 5 year old, garage kept vehicle is $18k (58k miles, no accidents, dents, waxed showroom condition). They are not what they were before.

So it is a bad car I just got mine 2013 with 45000 miles should I sale it??
