2 years ownership review: car 2009 740Li. Things that broke down: 1. 2 sensors (oxigen sensor and fuel??) 2. Cas4 module 3. Bluetooth module 4. All oil gaskets 5. Water pump 6. 2 front bushings Car is around 80k miles/135k km. Easy and relatively cheap to fix (not dealerships) For a bmw it is very reliable(if bmw is your thing you'll be happy with it) and i recommend the car.

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.

[@jamesjodoin8289]

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..

@@rubenabrego6751 Thanks for the question.All I can say is I love my car, and do recommend the 760li. I don't recommend the 750, because of mechanical issues and recalls, and a class action lawsuit. I never heard too many bad things about the 740, so that could be a option. All I can say is change the fluids, all of them way before the BMW maintenance guide.so, do proper regular maintenance and things should be good.

I own a 2012 one (bought used 3 years ago). The transmision did start leaking. Fix: oil change. New gasket came bundled with the oil btw (so they know..) I put 120k km on it (from 90k to 210k) and no other issues came up. Newer premium cars certainly aren't reliable, I guess I got lucky. Planning on getting a 2016 (the new model, one with around 100k km) soon, since the market value... went well :) Some idiots call a 100k Euro car "money pit". Are you sure? I would never have thought...

[@SaintVert]

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.

[@faazbaig4272]

We’ve had 3 7 series. (2 E65s, 1 F01) 1st - 2004 745i... long story short if your looking for a 7 series DO NOT buy one of those. When it was new it broke down leaving us stranded in 2006 twice hence why those cars are worth dog shit.. and even at those dirt cheap prices nobody wants those clunkers.. these model 7 series need one thing.. the junk yard. Was horribly un reliable at its time, and is even worse now. Any repair will total it. 2) 2008 750i... was ok, had its little problems here and there electrical wise.. had it for 9 months 3) 2011 BMW 750i (swb), blk on blk, DVD package, M sport package. We bought this car at 55k kms in 2013 ish, and kept it for 4 years. Sold it at 101k kms. The F01 was my favourite.. it got looks everywhere.. very sassy looking car. BUT it did have its issues luckily it was a CPO bmw car so it had warranty. 1st issue, the car wouldn’t go into sport mode. I’d always wanted to test out the sport plus on this car but it wouldn’t let me go into it and would instead say something along the line of drivetrain risk or something along the lines of that. I took it into the BMW dealership and they told me the timing chain needed to go and it was a recall by what I remember the BMW service guy told me 2nd issue, oil consumption.. this is apart of the first problem and was due to the valve stems. All the engine issues ended when the car went in to the bmw dealership for 2 weeks and received the ccp voluntary recall offered by bmw for all n63 engines due to how horrible they were with reliability and oil consumption. After the ccp service I never had another problem with the engine which is why I should’ve kept it. 3rd issue, the rear left spring got damaged and almost came off, covered under warranty. 4th issue, rear glass blind motor failed Oil changes were 299 CAD if I remember correctly. My advice with the F01. Buy the 2013+ with the n63tu. The n63tu is a WAY better engine and 7-series models equipped with the n63tu are holding value extremely significant to the 2012s and below. But with 2009-2012s becoming dirt cheap I can see why they are attractive. In my experience.. cross out the 2009-2010 cars FOR SURE. Even with the 2011-2012’s make sure the valve stem seals are done.. it’s worth the wait. The pre facelift 2012 and below are a huge risk overall. There’s a reason most of the ones for sale are pre facelift cars. That job was $15000 if I didn’t have warranty from bmw. I’m currently looking to buy another one.. Hope this helps anyone looking for these.

[@fckdisshiat]

Hey man, thanks for the advice. I just made a post about me buying a 2009-2012 750li. So you don't recommend these at all? What about the 2011-2012 versions? Maybe you can answer my questions in the post too. Thanks!

[@faazbaig4272]

@@fckdisshiat Sorry for the late reply. I do not recommend buying anything under 2012. In the 2013 facelift year, the V8 50i models got a refresh known as the N63TU. They are much better by what I have heard. It is pretty much an entirely different engine overall. All the problematic areas with the N63 in the 2009-2012 cars were addressed.

The 8 cylinder versions also have oil consumption issues and faulty oil measurings systems that require you put in 2 quarts of synthetic oil instead of one. Also be aware of transfer case issues if buying an all wheel drive version. And lastly, wheels on these cars bend easily when fitted with low profile run flat tires and driven on poorly maintainedroads, expect to shell out for wheels and tire replacements....

[@differentcarreview-dcr]

Well, first of all I would avoid the early production cars, so let's say cars from the first 2 years of production. I would personally choose the BMW, but only because it has better design(personal opinion), better handling and it's more of a driver's car. On the other side the S-class is more comfortable and it's also little bit more reliable than the 7 series.

[@fckdisshiat]

Hey, very informative video, just subbed. I have a few questions. 1.) I have my head set on purchasing a 2009-2012 750li. These years fit my price budget. My mechanic says be ready to shell out 5-10 k a year for repairs. But, if I am ready and willing to buy a 100k car at 20% of the price, even if I am paying high maintenance fees, aren't I taking an effective shortcut to drive something way out of my price range? 2.) What is your opinion on buying rebuilds? My guy told me with rebuilds, often there will be unforeseen problems that the initial inspection won't be able to detect. For example, right now I am considering two 750li's, both 2012's. One is a rebuild with 64,000km for $14000, the other is clean title with 100,000km for $22k. My guy said the clean one right away, I was just interested to hear your opinion. Obviously I would like to save money. Could he be wrong though? Is it possible to get a meticulous inspection, and with the go ahead, actually get a better deal with a rebuild in the long run? Or will all of them have these "unforseen" problems? The problems he is talking about are mostly the expensive electronics in these 750's that get shaken up in the initial collision and end up malfunctioning later. This is besides the traditional frame damage that everyone looks for when deciding to purchase a rebuild. One more thing he mentioned is the parts used to rebuild whatever was broken can be cheap. As well, the inspection to certify that the car was properly "rebuilt" can be very shady and unofficial. Although he says regulations have improved in recent years. Much appreciated!

[@differentcarreview-dcr]

first of all, the most important question is: how badly was the car damaged? If it was just a minor crash not affecting the main structural components of the body then it's ok-whatever, however if the crash was major-affecting the structural parts and it was cheaply fixed then in the next crash you are not going to be protected well (higher chance of bigger injuries) -next is the engine in the 750i, as I said in the vid it can have numerous issues, so in this case it would be better to choose a car with less mileage, at 100 000 km these engines can have already numerous issues present/or shortly incoming -when it comes to the electronics, yes it could be damaged during the crash, however you can get various electronic issues even in the never crashed cars. So I would say that if the car is completely free from water leaks and the crash was not major then it doesn't really matter, BUT again depends on the crash (+ if the water reached the electronic components when the car was waiting to be repaired then you will get issues obviously) lastly either way you have to be ready for the various issues coming, and if you can't diagnose them yourself then you should know someone who is familiar with these cars and issues

be prepared to fix the ultra common transmission issue that come with these but once done your good

[@rodneyd7773]

Thinking of purchasing a used 2011 750li with about 38k on the dash for under 17k. Too good to be true? What should i look for when inspecting the vehicle? Does this model include Bluetooth? Lastly, what is the manufacturer's warranty on this model and do you have any good recommendations for extended warranties for this model?

[@differentcarreview-dcr]

I would not recommned buying a 2011 750i, because of those problems mentioned in the video - and this is also the reason why are they so cheap here in Europe too, a 2011 model most probably won't have any warranty, about the extended warranties - I don't know much about them, but it's a good idea to have it Other things to look for: -the engine should be really smooth on idle and during acceleration, without strange noises -The car should ride smoothly without some vibrations or strange clunking, rattling, squeaking noises from the suspension, it's good to open the windows and listen for these noises at lower speed on bad quality roads too -check the paintjob-it should look the same on all the body panels -test all the electronics, check for water leaks/moisture in the interior -buy a car with regular maintenance history -change the coolant and brake fluid after 2 years/or after buying -use only high quality fuel and change the oil regularly Also it's extremely important to let the cold engine warm up-lower RPM for the first 15-20 km / 10-12 mi

Wonderful job...I had 2007 model 730LI , had to sell it ultimately due to transmission failure / hard shifting 3-4 gear Did BMW improve it in F01 models. Coz car becomes a scrap once transmission fails

[@differentcarreview-dcr]

Well, the possibility of transmission failure is quite similar on both models. But the most important thing is to change the oil in it regularly, then it will whitstand a lot.

yes, these two versions are basically most reliable / most reasonable

The N63 engine in the 750Li is truly a disaster. I have a 2010 and that model also has massive gearbox issues, which are expensive to repair.

[@carycoller3140]

New update on my extremely low mileage 2009 750Li. The dealership tech discovered my car needs valve guide seals because it burned almost two quarts of oil in about 2100 miles. Praise God, BMW is picking up the entire cost of the repair. The car had a coolant leak and an air leak in a turbo return line. They said they'll roll those repairs into the valve guide replacement since they have to take all that apart anyway. My faith in BMW is restored.

[@whistleblowerlouisiana4699]

Is that the customer care package you are referring to?

[@dogdr4275]

Nothing to do with God, why not praise BMW, they're the ones picking up the entire cost of the repair.

Hey can someone explain how bmw can cover repair cost for 2009 car? Wtf? So if i buy 2014 bmw im hella covered or what im missing lol, how much i know car guarantees is about 5years

[@carycoller3140]

@@dankhalifa6937 Mine was covered out of warranty. I bought a 2009 750Li. It was GUZZLING oil. My service advisor told me that my particular engine series had a service advisory to replace the valve stem seals. Whoever had the car before I had it didn't have that done. So, my dealer set it up, got the approval, and BMW paid for the entire $12,000 repair bill. It still burned oil afterwards, but not nearly as bad. Go to your service advisor and tell him or her that you want to know if your car qualifies for the Customer Care Plan.

yes, in this case the chain can break even without previous rattle

[@dwight122324]

id buy it

[@differentcarreview-dcr]

The facelifted models have less smaller or bigger issues than the before facelift cars, they have also newer electronic sofware. So I would go and buy it with no worries. Just change the oil regulalry, use high quality fuel and change the coolant after 2 years. Also it's extremely important to let the cold engine warm up-low RPM for the first 10-12 mi and just then you can push it really hard. The extended warranty is a good idea.

[@tanchishe]

Just bought a 2014 750Li with 40K miles. It Still has 6 months of factory warranty left. I'd take to the BMW dealer to check it out soon. But over all this car runs great! the 4.4T is very powerful. I also bought aftermarket warranty up to 75K so I guess if any of the electronic or suspension or engine problem happens, I will be covered at least within my ownership of the car.

[@Chthonian121]

I would avoid the 750i, on the other side the M5 or the M6 is a good choice

[@realgeez2011]

I have a 2012 750i. I think it needs a new timing chain. It is clicking when I drive and losing power. Is that very expensive to fix? Someone said I might need a new engine?... it has 90k miles on it. Never had a problem with it beside it drinking too much oil and after I took it to a track. Thats when I think the timing chain broke...

[@differentcarreview-dcr]

first of all I would check the car via diagnostic computer, replacing a timing chain on this engine is expensive-the whole engine has to be removed from the car, so you can expect more than $3000-4000 for the repair, but there can be another problem too

[@omegasapple]

Trade it in or sell it... The repair is gonna cost yah over 5k+.. This car is a money pit....avoid at all cost, unless you lease it or have extra 20k on the side for just the repairs its gonna need after about 5 years..
