I Bought the Most Hated BMW in the USA

[@hds4545]

I had an '02 745 and a '06 750. Both awesome vehicles that were a pleasure to drive across the U.S.A....pure luxury, great handling, and surprisingly good gas mileage.

[@JohnJonsington]

Driving 06 750LI rn, it’s like driving a nice new 2017, bmw always ahead in technology and luxury features

[@JTLeyva]

I'm think about getting a 04 are thy good?? And it has 150k miles for 3k what yall think

[@timgraysontv]

For $3,500 is a great car. Just drive it until it's dead, it's totally worth it!

[@frankmundo4300]

100 percent

[@levcohen7288]

I got 07 750li from towyard $1900+DMV registration $1100 it's has 86k mills on it and I'm very happy 😊 one more thing you most be your own mecanik any thing happened just follow the KZbin channel and get the parts OEM from ebey or Amazon that's it

[@Usernotknown21]

Dead in 2 days

[@whyeven3722]

Considering what this originally costed, yes $3500 is great. But when you can get a low mileage 2000's Honda Accord for that money that will last 10 times as long with minimal care, it's really not that great of a deal.

[@funfun5656]

It's basically dead though. It could cost another 6k just to pass an inspection. Not saying there aren't good ones. Because of the reputation causing it to be undervalued those can be had for as little as 8k and would probably be a better option to for the "drive it into the ground" plan

[@foxtrot2320]

I dont know why people hate this car so much. I like it.

[@milusther999]

47Gigs they are very unreliable

[@DaytonCarCare]

Because valve seals leak (requires removing heads to fix), headlight ballast or igniters fail (requires removing bumper to get headlight off), electronic park brake fails (expensive part/though there are repair kits), transmission and or differential failures, electronic gear selector (must know where "secret door" is to release transmission into neutral so it can be towed).... should I go on? lol Though the rims off of it are a great upgrade to the E38 since the ET offset is a perfect fit.

[@brotherLee340]

It looks great and is very luxurious but the up keep was terrible. Very expensive

[@maxfactor4209]

[@colewebb-rivera3157]

[@maxboya]

I agree, Doug tries way too hard. It makes me stay away from his videos. Kinda reminds me of that Vehicle Virgins guy. I do not like Doug Nor Vehicle Virgins. I like this guy though.

[@cerebralmindgame9818]

That BMW was so dope back in the day when it came out in 02'. That body style is still similar to how the newer ones look today . That shit had so much tech and comfort. That shit was like a dream car. It was way ahead of it's time. I sat in one that belonged to my father's rich friend back then when I was 19. That shit was dope 👌🏾.

[@das42k]

The back is actually my favorite part of the car lmao I heart my 7

[@martinwood6503]

richard vega agreed

[@vanderaj]

Funny thing is that many older BMW folks hated it, but it set the course of modern car design. The sedan you see in the background of most of the shots in this video of this has an almost identical trunk profile to this BMW. I like Bangle's styling. And it sold well.

[@wittyexquisite]

Wow that's crazy I thought the back was the best part of the car, plus I owned this car and it never gave me any major problems

[@steven5509]

*teaching a noob* "Look at this 7 series BMW, it's hated by everyone, it's a horrible investment" Newbie: "Ohh ok, don't buy it, gotcha" "No I'm gonna buy it"

[@emotionscomeandgo]

Yes BMW and Bangle changed the entire industry. All modern cars follow this design. Even the Interior Infotainment, wheel (idrive) is the most copied concept on every car today Bmw 7 Series used to be the Iphone of Modern Day cars. As in every car maker copied their design, their layout, and capacity. Until the F01 7 series (which i bought) BMW was on top. Since F01 around 2010 onwards BMW lost its way... and they are going the audi route making all their cars look exactly the same. Instead of innovating... just maintaining. Tech Wise BMW= Pinnacle of Automotive Industry. Don't get me wrong there. They Dominate when it comes to tech... But I miss the days when u could tell a 3 series from a 5 series from a 7 series 1 mile away, and from any angle. They were all so unique Long Live Chris Bangle. Wonder where he is now.

[@dukeallen432]

BMW lost there way after 2001 or maybe even 1993. All plastic highly depreciating and deteriorating appliances.

[@andi5943]

emotionscomeandgo Im absolutely with you, nearly everything that came after 2010 was anything but no bmw. Just look at the fwd 2 series.... My last hopes for the brand are the M2 and the toyota/bmw supra/z4

[@Krezo200]

emotionscomeandgo agree with you 100% Im driving my seventh bmw right now, and my favorite ones are not the new ones mate

[@sebascc007]

emotionscomeandgo the car had a bunch of great ideas... but they where poorly implemented

[@TheGabe92]

Afaik he's enjoying his life in his mansion in ... Italy(?). I forget. But I know for sure his house is on a hill with a pool on the edge of the hill. The pool wall facing towards the view down the hill is made from glass. Crazy cool design like all his cars. I still think the original Z4 is a masterpiece.

[@skulltrailRFL]

The pina colada "Heavy BMW Remix" is top notch.

[@c.s.c.]

Family owned a 2002, the first of them. We were blessed to either have missed or the p.o. fixed the valve stem seals. The engine & trans was smooth as silk. It had a small oil leak, and needed some small stuff like a lower control arm and brakes, but otherwise, it held up really well. Real fun to drive with the active roll stabilization. Fast as hell and quiet. The thing is, with this kind of car, is that it was $70k+ new. The price depreciates, not the tech and mechanicals. Don't go into it expecting the reliability of a low-tech economy car. That level of car is packed with major engineering. You must keep a high-rated battery/high quality fluids changed on-time/ONLY factory parts in it. No skipping service intervals, no 87 grade fuel in it, no letting issues build until the whole system breaks. BMW's engines are high-strung. They take more tlc to keep them running right.

[@MEXPCGAMER]

whoever owned this car didnt take care of it as a luxury sedan, mine has 100K miles, im the second owner, and bought it from someone who cared about servicing and repairing it on a regular basis. No complain here, E66 is truly an amazing machine.

[@deepzd6839]

Wow, you had to put the KEY in and press START? Wow that's DIFFICULT! Better bring out the manual!

[@NobleGamer0117]

Its funny cause that system of starting the car was available on BMW vehicles as late as 2013. I should know cause I know someone with a 2013 X5 with that method of starting the car.

[@robertsalas3984]

I personally think that putting the key in and twisting is harder can give you carpal tunnel 😬

[@diablocls55]

Well back in 2002 the boomers weren’t used to that 😂 I think it’s a nice ass car on the inside... the outside is an eye sore

[@shamund]

Easy. If you don't like this vehicle body style then you don't know swag. The body and contour of this vehicle is unique and it's a beast! I've owned 3. Currently, black on black 2007 750Li with rear DVD entertainment and window shades in rear. Monstrous.

Anyone who hates this generation of the 7-Series just doesn't understand how amazing of a vehicle it really was for its day. Sure they have problems when they get older and they may be never ending money pits but the technology inside of this car was LIGHT YEARS ahead of its time. Incredible luxury and engineering for being as old as a 2002 model year.

[@slavric]

Yes... Having optical cables for main communication and still about 90 kg of cabling. Awsome.

[@SuperJeremi10]

i have a 2008 535i series car i love it so far no issues with it 90k miles its in great shape everything is working on it just had a new battery put in its a great car.

[@OverSoft]

The technical aspect of the car was brilliant. It's just butt-ugly. I don't especially hate the back of the car, but those headlights, oh those hideous drooping headlights... (Disclaimer: i owned a Bangle (E60) 530d for 5 years and loved it, until the engine ate itself (swirlflaps))

[@slavric]

I bought a used one with 300+kmiles and obviously the problems were removed by then :) I only need to fix soft close on my door...

[@muhammadibrahim8364]

It’s a reliable car I know someone who has one he’s had it for 9 years and still running

[@contactpq]

I to own a bimmer ... its a real head turner on the road but man no body wants to work it .. and he's right ... the plastic under the hood turns to brittle so fast that its ridiculous ... and once this car develops a vaccum leak of any sort from any the plastic parts its all downhill from there

[@matejstipic]

I have a '07 730d LCI fully loaded model in limited Carbon Schwarz + Gold braun interior color + 20" Style 149. I bought it from a well known CEO of a local company, it was his 2nd car which he used it for occasional driving on motorways. Car had only 150.000km and it was almost like new. I bought it for 15k eur and I put a polish+ceramic coating on it for protection. Few months later alternator broke down and repair was only 142 eur, which is crazy cheap compared to a price range of this car. I once parked it next to a F01 and G11 and damn, E65 is really a timeless masterpiece LCI or non LCI. It looks way more compact with best length/width proportions, it's much cheaper than new models, easier to repair and yet it still shines on a parking lot.

[@lexstacks6944]

These body style 7 series was not bad looking at all. Thats not the problem with this car. Its the steep depreciation, transmission problems even b4 100k, and overall reliability under the hood, that make the 7 series garbage. Its why they practically give them away if there up in miles.. get a used Lexus!

[@Ryukachoo]

I saw the thumbnail and literally yelled "HOOVIE NO" Styling is whatever but these 7 series are VICIOUSLY unreliable and parts costs are massive.

[@guillermorivas7819]

I actually like how this BMW 7 series looks. It would look even better/classier if it were black with a tan and black interior. Most cars look better with a classy black finish. I do agree, however, the technology (bells and whistles) from the inside makes it difficult to enjoy your ride.

[@pclayton5063]

I worked at the dealership when the new 2002 745i arrived. They soon started to have problems that the techs couldn't resolve and neither could BMW reps. We replaced about 26 2002 745i's with new cars for customers with problems. They were so problematic that we had some customers that were on their third replacement. The 02's and 03's were the worst for years. Now they're been in the service area so many times that they're pretty well sorted so it's mainly the engine issues now.

[@ALBERT-oj1vn]

Spend an 2 thousand more. You can change the electronic entertainment system and cockpit computer to 2014 version and you can upgrade the headlights with adaptive new generation led lights. It will make your car more new and few tunings will sure make it easier to sell higher price. It is still an V8 and that price is nothing for an such an Bmw engine no matter what problem it has. If you spend a little more that car has no problem that can't be solved permanently. The worst case scenario would be to buy an Bmw approved affordable ECU motor tuning box that can fix any problem related to car's electronics and it will add an minimum 130 hp to your engine. An affordable ecu tuning would not exceed 300$ or 400$

[@davidmdiez]

the car is beautiful. front back all around, the car looks tough in white or black.

[@HumanStateOfEmergency]

It's not that ugly. People also hated the 5 series, and I adore my E60. It's aged so well and looks just as nice as the newer cars on the road, if not better. As far as the iDrive goes, it's not that bad once you learn the menus and figure out where everything is it becomes natural muscle memory getting to what you're looking for.

[@bretterful]

[@AnythingGasoline]

I agree with with a lot of what you say but I’ve never seen timing chain guide failure on these cars, I’ve had 3 of them from 86kmiles to 231k miles on the original engines with no chain or chain guide problems. Though they do burn a lot of oil due to then valve seals. The engine is quite nice, powerful and a lot of torque.

the front looks like that piece of trash garbage e46 3 series that was sold in compact form like the 318i or 318ti or whatever they were called. I think it was sold only in europe though. The e36 compact was in US but i dont think that garbage e46 form came over. Thats where the styling obviously came from for the front headlights and the rear was inspired by the 6 series. And in a way the sides being big and bulky seem like a 5 series to me lol its a 3/5/6 combo to make up the 7

[@the80386]

The 2005 facelift did wonders though. Brought it right back in line.

[@JohnDoe-ss7pi]

DjStiv3 Man the back of the 7 series on that model is super nice. I actually like the back of that one, better than the 2006+ models. This model is actually boxier and makes the car look beasty!

[@DjStiv3]

yeah me too. im curious if there are custom conversion kits and whatnot for it for the front. I assume you can change and do all that. If i had one i would. It doesnt look very elegant or regal or anything for a 7 series i mean this is meant to be a car for CEO's of companies, the fact that it is hideous in the front is beyond belief.

[@randomdude12370]

Did it come with blinker fluid?

[@SA77888]

It does and it also comes with BOTH left and right handed screw drivers for basic repairs.

[@DaytonCarCare]

$5k option lol ;)

[@user-nb8yt2il2r]

Why would a beemer driver need any?

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

LordZeus I didn’t even know about blinker fluid but my mechanic added some for $200. I’m so relieved

[@BrownKnight011]

BMW 7 Series are the only models that also came with piston return springs 😭.

[@edairesii6072]

I have one and I love it. I have had different 330i's for the past 12 years. This one drives like i am on pillows. And the back end is beautiful.

[@Jonnymanroger]

That BMW 7 series is nice as hell. you got to be crazy if you think it's terrible.

[@klapsker714]

Seriously, if this Is his biggest problem in life he is doing fine. It's a gorgeous car.

[@RR-bd4jp]

Yeah who knows what he's smoking! This video is is useless!

[@alydalyda]

I drove a 2004 745i and I loved everything about it. iDrive did (and still does) suck but once you learn it and it becomes part of your every day routine it’s pretty handy.

[@josemanuel5749]

Men the back is beautiful!

[@ZUL_RBR]

same here I think the back is fine and looking good except the front. just looks so stupid with those lights shaped like a distorted banana

[@SURENITY]

RAID_01 Coc I completely agree!!

[@1SaG]

I remember speaking to an early adopter of that 7-series who had also been a life-long BMW customer. He told me how he and his wife were one evening locked inside by the car's dodgy electronics (the car was practically new at this point) with no cell phone on them to call for help. They had the key but the doors simply wouldn't open, no matter what they tried. They spent quite some time in the car until someone noticed them and called help. And that was just one of the many problems he had had with this one. At the end of his story he added that now he was driving an S-class - something which he had never thought possible, since he had been such a loyal BMW-fan.

[@jbucci2009]

BMW 760LI purchased for $2300. basically free since it stickered for $122k back in 2007.

[@ustradingdiary]

so how is it now, maintenance?

[@lairdriver]

I did a ten hour trip in a 740 of the same year. It was a smooth ride and it had a 100,000 km on it.

[@charlescummings2205]

Traditionalists couldn't stand this car but it was awesome, design wise

[@sethiphotography]

I have just purchases a late 2006 face lift 730d with only 55k on the clock! super excited, drives like a dream. i have a feeling the diesels were far more reliable than the large petrol v8's

[@michakwiecien6213]

The back look’s nice for me

[@justinault5460]

Michał Kwiecień me too? Everyone's hated it but I think it looks super nice

[@MeloStyx]

Justin Ault it just looks wrong tbh

[@MrJonas7]

Yeah, totally. I love it. I especially love the E63 rear end which is similar :)

[@p90Killah]

Michał Kwiecień looks like a normal car’s back, I wouldn’t be able To tell iTs a bmw.

[@deepinmythots752]

Its that stupid light bar that runs horizontal in between the 2 taillights.

[@CCandWally]

Your Oversteer column is just as good as your videos!

[@jamesmay8131]

Not Everybody hates it, i like the look of it.

[@dailydoseoflife4907]

I'm not a BMW fan anyway but I don't think the design is as bad as you are making out.Its actually not that hideous.

[@bonse1]

Being an owner of the facelift version of this car (2006 730d), im upset that you've portrayed it this way. Maybe the diesel or UK versions aren't the same as yours but it's pretty well received here. It's a fantastic ride, pretty quick, fairly economical, the idrive is pretty trash but it's definitely not as hard to use as you say. The CD skipping is more than likely your scratched CD and the tyre warning is because you didn't reset the tyre pressure value... but this is hyper sensitive. I got this as a 21 year old after owning an e46 330d, and i've owned 118d's, 325d (2011) and i have to say this car is a million miles above anything (inc a 2014 jag).

[@raydavies6236]

This car is worth less than a Camry 4 Cyl that was bought at the same time, hah.

[@henrylj2660]

they are completely different machines yo anyone with a d series over here is like a god

[@ryanj7517]

I have a 2015 750LI Msport that I purchased new and still own. It’s been great. I’ve kept up with all the service intervals, etc. It really shines on long road trips at Hwy speed. 100 mph feels like 50. You really have to utilize cruise settings unless you want speeding tickets.

[@Arthagnou]

how are you not homeless? You buy a car for X then pay (on average) 2X to make it run, then sell it for 1/2X.

[@kingloui9819]

Think about it as a investment. He is not making money out of the cars because the cars are only content for views to make money. which is on KZbin ads and KZbin revenue! Idk think with your head for once 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@raysylvia2846]

Daddy's money

[@15DudeAwesome]

This car was very advanced for its time.

[@tonykari5124]

There's a reason they use these cars in Europe as their Limo or Taxi vehicles. As long as you drive em right and maintain them they are the ultimate driving machine. It's like your in a cloud while driving in one of em. Smooth

[@inspectorchicken]

It's a timeless masterpiece of design. People are just too dumb and have not enough taste to understand Chris Bangle. Put it next to a 2001 S-Class and you'll see what I mean.

[@jwatwater]

Comparing this to a W220 is truly a slap in the face to the S class.

[@BERNARDO712]

Bullshit. I own a W220, and it is crispier (i.e, more crisp) than the bimmer.

[@rvne3959]

I think you're definitely right about the modernness of the design for the time. I love Bangle's design of the E60, but this generation 7-series and 6-series are truly ugly.

[@emotionscomeandgo]

Yes BMW and Bangle changed the entire industry. All modern cars follow this design. Even the Interior Infotainment, wheel (idrive) is the most copied concept on every car today Bmw 7 Series used to be the Iphone of Modern Day cars. As in every car maker copied their design, their layout, and capacity. Until the F01 7 series (which i bought) BMW was on top. Since F01 around 2010 onwards BMW lost its way... and they are going the audi route making all their cars look exactly the same. Instead of innovating... just maintaining. Tech Wise BMW= Pinnacle of Automotive Industry. Don't get me wrong there. They Dominate when it comes to tech... But I miss the days when u could tell a 3 series from a 5 series from a 7 series 1 mile away, and from any angle. They were all so unique Long Live Chris Bangle. Wonder where he is now.

[@MrCarGuy]

inspectorchicken Yeah, the 220.1 is a beautiful MB design led by Bruno Sacco, who is miles more talented than Bangle, and implemented perfectly (car finalized summer 1998)... until the 2003 model year facelift that messed it up (not led by Sacco then).

[@ecressman24]

Valve covers leak oil and computer issues, 3 window assembly’s went bad and plenty more

[@votekyle3000]

I cant believe I’ve watched every Hoovie upload the day it came out since this episode

[@strategicthinker8899]

This is what happens when the masses have 0 taste. One of the best designs BMW ever made, minus the steering wheel.

[@anthonyc6439]

Also complaining that the technology is weird you bought a car for $3400 and complained about it but why did you even spend your money in the first place I think the 745 I is a cool car because of its technology maybe just get used to a car and read the manual

[@bcubed72]

All that tech is why it sells for less than 5% of new. "Proven technology" = durable. As they say, "the cutting edge...is the bleeding edge!" (Bleeding money, in this case.)

[@GermanCustomCars]

Americans love to bitch about maintenance. The car was $70k and you get it for $4k be prepared to put some money into it. Common sense. These cars are great when everything is working.

[@anthonyc6439]

German Custom Cars i totally agree

[@bcubed72]

_"These cars are great _*_when everything is working._* " Good point, with the added emphasis. Pilots have a saying: "if it's not installed, it weighs nothing, costs nothing to maintain, and can never break in filght." Meaning, unnecessary technology on a vehicle is a BAD thing. If you add technology, first make certain it is necessary to meet the mission profile. ...and I-Drive ain't necessary to meet the mission profile!

[@mollybags455]

bcubed72 agreed, thats the case with anything though. For every not fully functioning 745 im sure some one has a very reliable one

[@CruisinWithKevin]

Looks like Tesla stole its styling

[@thenotoriousdrift2979]

Give a like so Hoov Ventura doesn't go bankrupt

[@joeyscleaningladys]

daddy won't let that happen

[@AdamAus85]

Who is this daddy you talk of?

[@acr8974]

I always thought it had more of a Great White Shark Body!

[@nathanwatson3860]

I got one of these for $350. Body and interior are perfect. Soft close, sport package, 19 inch Niche Milan rims, run flats, magnaflow exhaust, k&n air filter, oil filter and I believe fuel filter though I'm gonna check thursday when i put her back on the jack stands for the flex disc job. I just did the spark plugs (NGK R) and performance coils, oil and oil filter and tranny fluid and filter along with the ABS. So far so good besides that ridiculous iDrive crap. It came prepped for an aftermarket stereo, amp and subs so I'm gonna rip all of that out and update it. Fun car to drive though. It handles turns like a dream though, barely even tipping slightly in heavy turns.

[@dserpas302]

Next video I LS swap my 745

[@subarutransmittedinfection1036]

Now thad actually be pretty cool
