Re: 2006 750Li Rough Idle [mph100]

I am curious as to whether BMW fixed these problems. I am having the exact same issues with a 2008. Local dealer saying all is normal. Everyone in family who drives the car thinks it drives like an overweight minivan. That hurts. Read More...

discussion about extended warranty

Written by: krasheed on Sep 04, 2009 04:21 PM

I need to know if it is advisable to buy extended warranty on my 2006 750m LI. It has only 30000 miles and I do not drive that much. So can you let me know if I should consider buying the warranty or just take a chance. This is my first BMW. So I do not know if these cars are reliable. I would appreciate if you can let me know. Thanks, Kareem Read More...

Written by: pfreak76 on Jun 24, 2009 10:25 PM

Guys - I am looking at a 2006 750Li CPO with 26K miles. The CPO expires 2yrs after the OEM warranty by EO 2011. Now there is another car dealer out in CA (the one with 26K miles is instate) selling a 2007 750Li with about 30K miles. Price delte is about $1.4K (2007 more than 2006 ofcourse). Featurewise they seem to be fairly similar. But 2006 has a financing incentive ... Read More...

I am in the same situation as you, im purchaing a 750Li 2006. Looks like you can pick one up CPO at a dealership for around 40k excluding TTL w/ 35k miles average. To add to this, you get 1.9% APR w/ 2 months free payments! BUT the problem is I can get the same car private party or 3rd party dealership for 35k! NO CPO no ext warranty, no maintainence pkg. What to do? Anybody ... Read More...

Re: In the market for a USED 7 Series (2005 ot 2006) [speedy19]

Written by: speedy19 on Oct 12, 2008 10:40 PM

Also look at this BMW is offering 0.9% on brand new BMW's including 7 series! So I could get a 2008. AND I know that BMW goes 5k below invoice on these cars, at least this is what ive heard! Can you please advise? It may be mor eeconomical to purchase a new one, 0.9% (AT 5K BELOW INVOICE) compared to purchasing a 2006 750i at 6% interest! Any thoughts? Read More...

hmm. i did not think about it from that perspective.. ie. that the cars have been dealer maintained.. some times they say that leased cars are not taken care of properly, but this wont be the case for BMW.. and yes, I agree a new 5 series. cost like 50s. why settle for that, if u can get a 7 series. for 35K.. look on EBAY, I see 92 2006 750 cars listed... some of them in the ...

Good research. It makes sense that most leased cars would go into service very early-on in the model year to minimize the depreciation. I wonder what it costs the BMW dealer to CPO a 7 Series? Maybe $1500 in paperwork with BMWNA plus whatever parts and labor is required? But since all BMWs come with free maintenacne you would expect that all the cars coming off lease ... Read More...

Yes, I also thought of that. ie try to buy a late 2006 model. but you see. the 81 cars or so you see on EBAY. ie. nationwide. the exodus of 750 2006 models which have come up. they are mostly. lease returns. and I have browsed thru most of them. they all are put into service july-Aug.2005 time frame. Hence if we want a jan -apr 2006 model. it will have to be from a private party ... Read More...

I am also like you considering getting a used 2006 750i if you check ebay motors http://tinyurl.com/5qsmdw you will see there are a big bunch of them .. and some are priced in the low 30s.. thats cheap, there were 75-80K and now 35K. they lost 40K in 3 years depreciation. wow ! I would say most of them are coming off 3 year leases. and have been sold to auctions. while ... Read More...
