Used 2011 BMW 7 Series Consumer Reviews

excellent car but tire problems

I am leasing the 750ix for one year, excellent car inside out except the run flat tires I have to change 6 tires and one rim in one year you have to buy the tire insurance otherwise you are risking too much. Fun to drive almost perfect except dealing with frequent dealer visits to change tires. If you talk to their customer service about the tire problem they refuse to deal with the problem. I personally know many BMW car owners who have the same problem of frequent tire problems. This my last car with run flat tires very disappointed it is a waste of money, time and resources(rubber).

BMW and safe driving

BMW has a good look and performance but everything else are poor. I drive this car a year and i am not impressed. The major problem is with service and wheels and run-flat tires. The aluminum wheels keep cracking in normal driving conditions, and suddenly your tires can lost all air in higher speed driving. My car has 20K miles and had to replace all tires and two rear wheels. It is costly but BMW denies to take the blame. This is a bad design and BMW blaming owners of bad driving, while it is due to very stiff tires which transmit vibrations to the rims which cracks. On top they dont have tires to replace and you need to wait a week, while driving a junk car. I don't recommend BMW at all.

Best Luxury Sedan of the Year

I have previously owned the S-Class and 750Li (2006). This time, I was debating between 750Li and 740Li (S-Class IS A JOKE to me) and went with 740Li. Reason, driving feel almost the same, except you will feel a bigger Torque. 740Li, however, doesn't feel the turbo lag like the 750Li. The power kicks in sooner where 750Li will lag (very obvious). & 740Li has all the bells and whistles as it big brother and better mileage. It is the smartest choice over any other brand and even its own big brother. Unless you are all about big engine and want to show off you have more $$$$$, 740li is absolutely fun and slightly economical to drive than the big engine brother. No remorse, guarantee

I'm very disappointed

I traded in a 2007 750il for a 2010 750i. Though I like the looks, drive and performance of the 2010 the gas mileage is so bad that is should be illegal. When I drive around in regular city driving where the traffic is reasonable I get 8-10 miles per gallon. I think this is a travesty. And the 14 miles per gallon that BMW states on the car sticker is just a lie. I'm very upset and if BMW can't correct this problem, I'm going to turn the car in. I've had a 7 series every year for the past 15 years, this 2010 model is a major disappointment regarding the gas mileage problem

Poor Interior

I have a 2011 750LI Xdrive BMW. The paint on the knobs on my panel are coming off, I called BMW to complain. I went to a dealership and found that other 750LI X were having the same problems. If you are having this problem please call the head quarters of BMW and file a complaint maybe we can get them to replace the knobs. I had a 2007 750LI BMW and never saw any fading on the heat controls , startup controls and a few other. To spend 100k BMW should not put cheap anything on this car.

Everything you would expect and more!

This is my second 7 series and my first X drive. I bought the car new...it's a 2010 750 LI x drive and I can't say enough good things about the car. Ride, style, performance. You won't be disappointed. Gas mileage is fantastic as well. I get 22 in the city and 29-30 on the highway. Don't know why others are getting poor gas mileage, my is great. My 03 745 got 32 mpg. I figured with the new all wheel drive I would get a bit less. The performance tires lasted 32,000 miles and that more than most cars with run flats. I have no issue with run flats, mine are smooth and quiet and the ride is great. I think most people drive their BMW's hard and then when they have to put gas in it and repair it they don't like the cost. This is part of our society where people who can't really afford these cars shouldn't drive them. Yes folks...BMW's do cost more to drive! And your point is? People want to look rich but they don't have to money to play rich. Go buy a cheap Hyundai and you'll get your 30mpg! I am amazed at people who buy these cars and then complain about the $. They want to impress their friends when they purchase a used BMW but the reality is they waited until it finally depreciated enough so they can afford it. The seven is one of the best cars on the market today...no exceptions. Don't let these any the bad reviews on this site deter you from the 7. Give it a try and believe me you'll have forever raised the bar of quality for you personal tastes.

What a waste of money!!!!

Please do not spend any big dollars and buy BMW. I have this car and it has been to dealership five times in matter of just three years. Car stopped while I was driving!!! they had to change fuel injectors and then it happened again after few months. Then the back up camera did not work!!! The fuel injectors started to make clicking noise and they said it was normal. !! I have just 27000 miles and it is four years which is not much for any car. So please take my advice and think and do more research before you spend huge amount of money on this car.

Superb

I just picked up this car in Europe and drove it 800 miles. The car is outstanding in every way. I ordered most of the options including sport, convenience, driver assist, head up display, entertainment, and camera package. Everything worked perfectly. The car handled like an M sports car on the twisty mountain roads and handled the autobahns at over 140 mph without ever hitting 4000 rpm. When passing the car has unbelievable power for a large car. It fits like a glove. The car got a lot of great looks and comments even in europe where the car is common but this new 2010 model looks great. I got about 18 mpg but I was driving hard. The rear wheels turn slightly and make parking very easy.

Good Car

Overall I am very pleased with this car. Its by far the sharpest looking in the class and the best handling. Test drove the S and pannera but neither could match the looks of this one. My only complaints is the dismal rear space and the ride settings, none of which are perfect for the need.

Stay away

Do not buy this car unless it's under warranty, valve problem burning and leaking oil .. It's a 7,000 dollar job don't waist ur money and this is my second car but never again

Awesome 740LI

My ownership experience was great at Riverside BMW. The Sales and Finance team were great in making the best deal happen. Driving the car is exciting. The 6 twin turbo puts out max power with lots of horsepower to give. Car is quiet and runs like a 7 series with the comfort and sport I expected with this type of car.

BMW Means Bring My Wallet For The BMW Repairs

This is my second 750li , I should from the first one not to waste my money, This model was in the shop within the first week I bought it, and at the time of purchase it was only four years old and had to have MAJOR engine work, thankfully was still under 30day warranty, a year later more engine problems, this time BMW had a recall for the issue , 2years later more engine problems and over 3grand in repairs, and then the third year out of nowhere all the.lights came.on the dash and lit up like a Christmas tree, went to a Authorized BMW repair he suggested just to trade it in, then went to BMW, where they have three different suggestions they are unsure of, I wouldn't own another BMW if it was free, such a waste of.such a beautiful vehicle.

Nice Car!

Please know that there is Blue Tooth - BUT it only works with the calling part of your iPhone. So you need a connector to play Pandora or iTunes. Cup holders - virtually useless and could not have been placed in a worst position. This is a chronic problem with the 7 series, my 1998 750 was better than this model 2011. Now everything else I have nothing to complain about, I can't imagine owning another car.

Had it all

I have owned practically every Luxury automobile from Lexus to my current 2009 Mercedes S63. None come close to the fun drive the BMW 7 is. I can not be any happier it is truly the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE. Must purchase the M package looks fantastic. This car is an absolute 10

2010 BMW 750 Li with M Sport Package

I have a 2010 BMW 750Li M sport package, with all options except the rear DVD system. I also own a 2007 Mercedes S-550. I also am a former Police driving instructor so I know a performance car when I drive one. The 2010 is the most amazing vehicle that I've ever driven. With the M sport package and active steering, this car does things that makes you want to put a disclaimer sticker on the car that says "do not attempt this at home". It's turn radius is unbelievable. If you drive the S-Class Mercedes, Maserati, Bentley then drive the BMW, I don't see how you would want to buy any of these other vehicles when you compare driving capabilities, ride, technology and amenities.

Great car

This is an exceptionable car-the engine is perfectly mated to the drivetrain-there would be no rational reason to go with the V8. Very quiet and comfortable cabin. Navigation is the "weakness" of car-somewhat non intuitive.

Perfect car, really

At $100k you should expect your car to be perfect, unfortunately not all are. They may be missing something...like cutting edge technology, great seating, high end finishes, or an amazingly powerful engine. The 2011 750Li gives you everything. I have owned the SL55; more power, yes, but lacking in comfort and technology. Don't forget covered maintenance! Miles per gallon isn't ideal, but considering I have nothing else to sacrifice I will deal with teen digit results. It's very quick, comfortable, quiet, and full of luxury. It doesn't wash itself... But with the camera package it practically parks itself.

Run Away

Car is in the shop more that on the road. Cracked wheels, fuel injector problems, tranny problems, etc., etc. Even with extended warranty I'm charged for many questionable items BMW says are normal wear & tear (new drive shaft after less than 60,000 miles). Don't buy, if you already have one, sell if possible.

Understated Luxury

After driving the Jag XF Supercharged for the last three years I thought that this superliner might be boring. It is not. This car inspires confidence. Whether driving it on the Autobahn at 130 or motoring around town, this is a car for all seasons. It corners like a smaller car, has good power, absorbs bumps, and gobbles up highway miles. It appears that the design of this car was to ignore curb appeal, and focus solely on driver dynamics and comfort. Yet, if you can live with not being the bell of the ball, you'll enjoy every moment behind the wheel.

Perfect in every way!

I never have called or considered myself a "car guy" as my mode of transportation had nothing to do with my personality. This is probably because I am 6'5 and I look for comfort over brand and performance. This is actually how I came to learn about the 750 Li series. I was surprised how my search for an SUV lease put this car within my budget ( apparently everyone knew bmw's lease well but me ) After getting quotes in the $1000's for an Escalade or Navigator lease, even got a quote for $1100 on an Expedition. I have had the car for a week and I find myself making excuses to drive. It is comfortable, sporty, dynamic and very very very fun to drive. I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY BMW 750 Li :)

my BMW 750Li xDrive a nightmare

I own this beautiful POS 750Li xDrive from +BMW +BMW USA I did loved #BMW I am driving these vehicles since 1978. The current #BMW 750 Li xDrive I own and god how much I regret owning this #BMW for the worst vehicle ever. I have spent over $5000 in stupid repairs in last 90 days, month ago the estimate repair bill was $6,700 and I got some of the immediate work done to run without hiccup, paid the +Bill Jacobs BMW after paying the bill when got to the my +BMW 750LI xDrive it refuses to move found out the transmission is dead and estimated to cost about $10,000 US dollars. When I call the +BMW to express my dissatisfaction of the 750LI they told me flat out "what do you expect sir it has bulk of miles on it" now if close to 100,000 miles on this +BMW which originally listed for about $140,000 US dollars and claimed to be a The Ultimate Driving Machine!! Is BS. I have owned much cheaper cars that cost less then the taxes you pay on this Ultimate +BMW, they drive over 200,000 miles without any issues. I guess the @BMW is really not an ultimate driving machine rather a POS vehicles. I have a planned burning of this POS +BMW in front of a +BMW USA and +BMWUSAMotorsport in public and in front of the entire world and press. I am working on it and I promise to make sure people know the real value or lack of value of these POS +BMWORLD CLUB join the club and visit my live stream when we burn this POS +BMW 750 Li xDrive Never again I will buy another @BMW

BMW 7 Quality Horrible!

5300 miles and rear end was rattling over any road imperfections. Dealer tore apart rear end, then had been dealing with suspension bushings? R u kidding me BMW? 7 Series sunroof was even loud, allowing in air passage.

Best in the world

This car has been a phenomenal experience to drive. It's my 4th 7 series. Over the years I have become pickier. BMW kept way ahead of me! The only disappointment is the gas mileage which has taken a step back. Possibly because of xDrive.

Twin turbo 6 cylinder m7

Efficient Dynamics. Twin Turbo inline six is awesome balance of performance and efficiency. Get the M Package!

Nice but issues

I considered the S hybrid but chose the 740Li because it drove better. Sadly my alternator has gone out and needed replacement. The car drives well and is pretty fast, but the ride is not super smooth and the car could definately be quieter. I found dealer support to be poor as was that from BMW corporate. I will buy an S class next time.

Worst car ever

Purchased a 2011 750li .only had car for two days ...drive moderate comes on engine light appears have paid two car notes ..car still in shop...if bmw can't fix there own car who can.....a piece of crap...

Amazing

This car is superior then any other in the world. It has the perfect blend of ride quality and performance. Excellent value for what you get. Don't hesitate to buy

Am I reliving 2002?

I have been leasing the BMW 7's since 2002 and just leased a 2010 750i x. Already neither my Blackberry storm nor the LG chocolate phone can communicate with the car. Lame excuses from customer service and no pre sale disclosure by the dealership. I cannot disclose any problems with the 2002 model as I was paid not to do so. How many are being paid now not to so? Have to agree that the 2005 and 2008 models I had served me very well. Having vowed never to try a new model after the 2002 experience I think I am back to square 1. My advice: do not get into the new 750 until all problems are corrected . Give it at least one more year to improve.

My Dream Car

This car is simply unbeatable. The perfect blend of luxury, performance, and style. The Awd is flawless, tackling mountain hills with supreme ease. A definite buy.

Great Looking on the outside

I Bought this car in the states and I didn't look at the car fax and when I was driving it back home in California from Florida, My transmission failed me. Outrageous prices! Doesn't look too good in the inside and don't think that just because it has a navigation system, that it looks good.

dont buy this car

good car but makes too much road noise and downshift too rough

Beemer lovin

I like my Bimmer

Is a great family car
