Used 2017 BMW 7 Series Consumer Reviews

Riding on a cloud

The ride is superb. It handles bumps and dips so that you hardly notice them. The performance is excellent— you step on the pedal and you get immediate and excellent response. I don’t know why buy a 750 with the V8 for $10,000 more. This 740xi listed for $92,000 with options. BMW charges a big premium for options—some of which should be standard but aren’t! I have had the car for 17 months and have driven it 12,000 miles. I have had no mechanical problems and no recalls! The interior is very comfortable and the legroom could comfortably accommodate very tall riders. At 35 months and 32,000 miles, the only changes in this review I would make is the BMW 740 is somewhat awkward to drive and to park. When turning right, the right rear wheels follow too quickly and hit the curb. This car seems “fragile”. Any little problem (not mechanical) is very expensive to remedy.

2017 BMW 750i 4.4L V8

Took my car in for its first inspection and was informed that the car would not pass. The tires were worn well past the allowable tread depth for passing the PA state inspection. The dealership informed me new tires and an alignment was needed for $2200. My car had 6200 mi. The shop service foreman told me I wasn't the only one complaining, many 750i's are "eating" tires. I only drive this car to dinner, events, visiting the kids, etc so the mileage was easy miles. The dealership said they would go back to BMW/Pirelli for a warranty claim. After 120 days, I recv'd a check for $440. In addition to the "tire eating option", the seat massaging option will start on its own and run through all of the options until it is turned off. Had numerous issues with the rear seat computer until a software update cured the issues.

BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED OR DRIVEN

UPDATE ON OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE AS OF 8/28/2017 I have now owned my 2017 BMW 740i for 8 months. The odometer reads 8,895 miles. The vehicle actually drives and handles even better than when I first bought the car back in December, 2016. I am averaging 21 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and 25 mpg combines highway/city. Remember, this is the inline 6 cylinder turbo delivering 320 hp and 335 lb ft of torque. The engine is more powerful and responsive that one would expect out of a 6 cylinder configuration - but with the turbo boost, the car accelerates rapidly even at 55 mph. It seems to have tremendous torque throughout most of the RPM range (1900 rpm - 5500 rpm). It has taken me many months to master all the technology offered in this vehicle - especially the drive settings (Sport, Comfort, Comfort Plus, EcoPro, and Adaptive. Most of the time, I keep the car in either EcoPro, as it is the most fuel efficient setting, or in Comfort. I rarely press the Sport mode as it is the least fuel efficient. I've driven from Ft. Lauderdale to just south of Jacksonville, FL and back twice since I've owned the car. Most of the driving is at 70-75 mph and the distance is 300 miles each way. The car rides and handles beautifully. I especially like the Adaptive Cruise and Self-Steering modes as it makes the drive much more comfortable, not to mention safe. Another feature I have really enjoyed is the 360 degree camera angles when parking the car. Here in South Florida, we do not have much in the way of parallel parking - most is just pull-in parking with a parking stoop in the front of the car. I use the 360 degree cameras so I pull into the parking spaces straight rather than at an angle. The sound system is magnificent, especially when listening to FM HD music stations or DVD's. I use Apple Car Play all the time and it streamlines Bluetooth calling, text messages received and readouts of those text messages. I usually buy a new car every year but I have no intention trading this one any time soon. This one is a keeper! The only problem I have had with the car was with "inadvertent trunk opening"! After bringing it in the dealership twice, they said one sure-fire solution to this anomaly is to reprogram the car's computer so that the trunk cannot be opened with the key fobs unless the car doors are unlocked first. So we did that and I have no more inadvertent trunk opening problems. I still can open the trunk without the key fob by moving my foot under the rear bumper or by pressing the trunk release just above the license plate frame. So this is a minor inconvenience - having to unlock the car before using the trunk release button on the key fob - but it has not affected any other trunk operations. I do not know when I will be in the market for another new car, but I am sure it won't be for a few years and I am sure it will be another BMW 7 series. For the money, it is the very best large passenger sedan built. Sure, the Mercedes S Class sedan is a great vehicle, but in my opinion, not worth the $15,000+ more than the 740i with all options. I still recommend that if you buy one of these vehicles, that you make sure you add the Driver's Assistance Package, the Driver's Assistance Plus Package, the Executive Package and the Parking Assistance Package for the 360 degree camera views. I also recommend the 19" wheels. Remember, the car comes with run-flats so you have no jack or spare tire. If I had to do it all over again, I probably would not get the run-flats if I could and would add 19" Summer Performance Tires. I believe it would produce a better ride with better handling. Still the best car I've ever owner or driven!!!

A car by any other name isn't

a BMW. This truly is the best car I have ever owned. I have previously had MB, Jag, Audi, Jeep, Acura, etc. I went into this thinking it was going to be an S Class or a Model S. (Both great cars in their own right) However, after driving the S I couldn't shake the feeling that it felt old. Anyone who chose that car got a great one it just wasn't for me, and this is after aspiring to an S my whole life. I drove the Tesla Model S and loved the acceleration and Auto Pilot, but it felt very cramped and the materials are not even close to 5 series quality let alone the 7. I liked the Tesla but feared I would get tired of the tradeoffs. I drove the 7 and knew I had to have it. It is extremely fast, very comfortable, and has a decent percent of the autonomous capabilities of the then Model S. After 8,000 miles, I can honestly say I still love it. I'm getting about 19 mpg around town and 29-30 when I do long highway hauls. Pretty darned impressive for a dual turbo V8 that will haul A*% when needed.

Owned Deville’s and Town Car the 750i is the Best

I’m 6’8” tall so I always needed a large car, so in 2020 when I looked there were no American made large cars. So I looked to the A8, XJL and the S550 preowned. I wanted a car still under base warranty so I looked for an off lease car. All the cars were + or - 5K. In April 2020 I purchased off lease 750i. The BMW had the best looks outside and most room interior notice wheel base length comparison. The Town Car wheel base is 117 the BMW is 126 that 9 inches is all the difference in the world. I owned now to 8 months and no real problems the adaptive cruise works great. But the BMW learning curve is very steep. Also the BMW was 106K new 3 years later it sold for 50% value it’s a great car once you learn how to use it. The screen mirroring is also android friendly not iPhone friendly. However there is a after market company BimmerTech that can refit for iPhone and apple play. Enjoy the car Update I have own the car now for 2 years. It has some very amazing features such as going on a trip from Atlanta to Pittsburgh PA. Using adaptive cruise and apadaptive drive with nonethonal gas the car got 33.9 mpg in a 3000 mile trip. Now around city it much lower but still in the 20 mpg. After getting use to the high tech stuff the car grows on you like a glove. I had one issue it had to go into shop after the trip to Pittsburgh the massaging drivers seat stopped functioning. But other than that at 53,000 miles I have been very Pleased So now I have owned the car for 30000 miles impressed with how it working and running had to replace the thrusters at yearly service they were leaking kind of surprised the car has 60000 miles on it. Gas mileage is still amazing for a 4.4 engine on average 32+ mpg highway. I think next year will be high cost service because it goes out of warranty for years and maintenance agreement goes out.

2016 750i xDrive (G12 Platform)

After having a less than acceptable ownership and service experience with my 2015 MBZ S63 AMG Sedan (Transmission failures less than 8k miles), I decided to try the new 7. I would have opted for the Alpina B7 had it been avail but due to timing I opted for a 750i xDrive. Although not quite as fast as the much more expensive Benz I traded, this car is far more engaging and athletic to drive. The 4.4L V-8 is silky smooth and the transmission programming is spot on. On a car with as much technology as these high-end sedans have, I much prefer the interfaces and user-friendliness of BMW's approach to controls, infotainment, and gizmos (exception of the seat controls.... MBZ has the best placement for seat controls). The drive settings provide a cadre of options ranging from pillow soft to firm. Perhaps I haven't discovered how yet but I'd like the car to stay in the mode I last drove it in (defaults to comfort every time I start it up). In all drive settings the car performs admirably on road trips over varied pavement. I do notice more dramatic pitch from the front suspension than I am used to in a BMW under hard braking or hard acceleration. I don't opt for the 21" wheels based on other's reviews that they are overly harsh. I am running the 20" M-Sport 5-Spoke wheels on Pirelli Run-Flats and they seem to be a good compromise. I am sure, as with all other BMW's I've owned, performance comes partly at the price of accelerated tire wear. This being a long wheelbase all-wheel drive 7-series, I expect 12-15K miles out of a set of tires tops.... The Bowers & Wilkins Stereo is worth the coin and far superior to the top of the line Burmester Audio in the Benz (Speakers in my AMG were poorly designed/installed and housings began resonating badly very soon after purchase). My initial impressions on the new 7 series are positive and my hope is I still enjoy my seat time in this car in year 2, 3, and beyond. I believe BMW's biggest strengths in this segment are in it's general user-friendliness of high end features and general quality implementation and refinement of all systems. For me, BMW has done a far superior overall job to MBZ and Audi and worth noting, Tesla (Sorry Tesla, If I want to open my sunroof, I don't want to browse through menus on a big screen to get there....).

Overall value is not worth it

Paid 102k for the car (2017) It has 38k miles on it...maybe worth 46k (2020) Never any issues with the car, I made sure to get full warranty because every little thing in this car is a arm or leg...sometimes both

Great Car

I have owned my 750 for a few weeks and LOVE it! Had been a Porsche guy for a long time, but nothing matches the ride/ engine of the big 7! Wife has a Range Rover....not even close. This is a great luxury ride that offers more room, more exhilarating performance, and better handling than Benz S Class. Not hating them, I have an SL550, but the BMW is un paralleled as a daily driver or on a trip. I had a BMW before and hated iDrive, but love the new system. The air conditioner is excellent, the new interface is more friendly, and visibility in the car is excellent. Give one a try....you will be glad you did!

Best car I've owned - so far...

I bought my 7 Series X-Drive with the big V-8, here in Colorado, in early March 2016. I drove this car from Colorado to Palm Springs, CA, shortly after my purchase, and was just amazed at its performance and handling. I traded in a Porsche Panamera 4S (2012) and that was a great car, designed (I think) with my demographic in mind. I'm 75 years old. Before the Panny, I drove 3 Audi A8 L's. This is an incredibly high-tech car, and I discover new things about its innards almost daily. The BMW organization practically fawns over me as a buyer of its top-priced sedan, and I guess I like that. I also really like the full maintenance warranty, so - unlike Porsche-Audi's "turn" over the last few years with their very costly maintenance services, I pay for nothing; although I'd guess it's in the price of the vehicle. Especially at Palm Springs altitude - sometimes UNDER sea level - with all the O2 that location provides, the power of this vehicle with its twin-turbo engine, is astounding. And to my great surprise, my mileage, off the vehicle's computer, was averagiing 30.2 mpg from Boulder to Palm Springs - 1050 miles. Huh? Incredible. And the car's comfortable and ultra-luxurious interior is a pleasure to experience, and the various optional handling levels (suspension, throttle response, shift points) provide varied driving experiences which are a real kick to play with. At my home in Colorado, I live in the mountains overlooking Boulder, and at 8000 feet, the car still runs like a 'Vette - and there are many twists and turns on the roads leading from my Boulder home to Boulder-City, 2400 feet below my front door. If you want ultimate luxury and incredible power and handling, consider this car - the AWD Xdrive is a huge plus for my home area, and so far, it has operated flawlessly. My current miles put on this car add up to just over 4000 road miles, and I hope it runs and handles as well as it currently does, for another 30-40K miles, before my next car must be selected!

Adaptive Cruise Control issues with 2016 BMW 740i

The adaptive cruise control misses to adapt speed or stop or detect a vehicle in front requiring driver intervention to avoid a collision. I have seen multiple symptoms of this problem occurring. The problems seem to be more persistent when ACC is turned on with no car in view Symptom 1: Vehicle BMW with adaptive cruise control is tracking another vehicle (showing in cockpit) and adapting speed however for unknown reason it later fails to start the process of slowing down and collision alarm is sounded Symptom 2: Vehicle BMW is tracking another vehicle and adapting speed on lane 1; upon BMW switching lanes to another clear lane, car tracked in cockpit disappears, the BMW accelerates to reach target speed and though it later it detects another vehicle in front it fails to start slowing down. Driver intervention is required to brake and slow down. Symptom 3: Same as driving condition in symptom 2 except that upon lane switch the BMW fails completely to detect a vehicle parked in the second lane and keeps going on at same speed. Driver intervention is required to stop the BMW Symptom 4: When two lanes merge and another vehicle is moving in from the of the BMW either from the front right or the front left the BMW fails to detect the vehicle merging in front and fails to adapt speed. Driver intervention is required.

2016 750i x drive M package 20” rims Vic/Van

Bought 2 years ago through BMW CPO had 18k km on it. It’s a step up by a mile from my previous 2012 535i traded in when it had 136k km. Replaced the run flats Pirellis with Continental DWS made the ride and handling so much better, don’t have to deal with seasonal tire changes. Picked up a tire repair kit and air pump at Canadian Tires, saved on cost of new tires. It’s now 38k km and had an oil change and brake fluid change. Approx $500 at the dealer. Brakes and tires after 2 years of wear still @85% remaining. The car is a dream to drive, smooth and powerful. With all the options that is on this car,, up to date technology (a lot) you will be happy for those that are into technology. But make sure you get extended warranty!!! So far... no regrets with it! Hope this helps when some one is considering this luxury verhicle. At 43k km, it started leaking coolant from the dual turbo intake and out coolant hoses. Brought it to BMW authorized dealer and they had to replace all the hoses @ 8 hoses with a new design (retrofit kit). Cost without CPO would have been in the tune of $3,500Cad, fortunately CPO extended warranty covers the entire cost. Included, engine flush and new BMW coolant. At time of this update it’s now 50k km, noticing engine is not as smooth, going in for a scheduled spark plug change(8) pcs plugs, oil change and cabin filter replacement. Estimated cost will be $1,700 for the next service.

2017 BMW 740i xDrive

the engine output is more than enough, the ZF 8 speed transmission is seamless and response quick. Love the vehicle and very satisfy. The B58 engine very quiet which is way better than my X5 35i (N55 engine).

Hold on that Lexus!

Been a Lexus owner for the past 20 years. They just don't make them like they used to, body style is way too Darth Vader for me! Never thought I would buy a BMW product again but my 740 has changed my mind. Never looked back.

DO NOT BUY - lots of minor electrical issues

I have had several 7 series, and I usually love them because they drive well, have beautiful interiors, and great technology. Unfortunately, this model is terrible. If you go to the lots, you will notice lots of year-old, low-mileage used cars... that's because people are having so much trouble with them. Mine has been in for repair 4 times in the first 4 months. The car will flash and display warnings, systems will shut down, it 'bongs'... literally will drive you insane. It has already been recalled once, too.

HAD THE CAR A TOTAL OF 2 DAYS IN 2 WEEKS

I really don't know what to say about this car other than I'm very disappointed. Had it for 12 hours and it died twice. Got it back a week later and it died again. Both times it died while driving! Needless to say I had it towed out of my garage and did not want it back. I was given a 2016 7 loaner and that died too…..coincidence or is someone trying to tell me something? Don't get me wrong the car is beautiful, but should be spitting out rainbows for the price of the car. It was FULLY LOADED everything you can get I had in the car. So as the saying goes" 3 times is a charm", I am waiting for the new 7 which replaces the first one i leased. Wish me luck…..if this one dies I will NEVER go back. Such a shame.

value of car is horrible

wanted to trade in and they being bmw offered $42,000 for a 2017 model year with 11,500 miles and sticker on car was $101,250

Lemon!!

Sometimes we can not change sat radio stations, was on a two hour car ride and was stuck on Pitbull radio. We can highlight another station, use the scroll wheel on the steering wheel, finger gesture to skip to the next station it will not select or enter. I called the service dept multiple times and finally got through. She said to restart the car. The last 5 or 6 times this happened it took half a dozen to a dozen restarts. I had to turn it off and get out, lock it to put it in hibernation and restart. This is happening more and more with this car. Other issues: -Cruise control will shut off completely on the expressway when you hit a bump. Have to turn it back on and set it again. -moonroof rattles and squeaks, sounds like a ten year old clunker. Have to vent it to stop the noise. Closing the sun shade muffles the noise. -camera's fail for parking. 360 and either front or back camera's. "camera fault" black screen. -safety systems fail and have faults, lane keeping, side monitoring stop working. -adaptive cruise has failed a few times, fault and will not work. sensor fault. Close call with the car in front of me stopping!! -display key locks up a lot. Gets stuck under sub menu's and will not go back to main menu. Have to hold the power button for 30 seconds to reset it. -Display key will not show the correct info on the car. Car is locked and it shows on the key car is unlocked. Will show moonroof or windows are open when they are closed. Had to run outside to double check. -says key battery is dead on the display in dash. Display key is above half full battery. -I played with the auto park feature and it ran the car into the curb twice. -Samsung tablet will not connect to the car for back seat passengers, have to restart a lot or reconnect the tablet to the car. Will not control anything if you can get it beyond the connecting scrolling circle. When the car was delivered to us the BMW genius had issues with the tablet, I could not leave the dealership for a while until he figured it out. -Voice control says it is not available a lot when you hit the button on the steering wheel. Example: I will try to respond to a text message through voice and it will not work, "the function is currently not available" The dealership has been horrible to deal with, can't get it in for two weeks!!

What a ride!

The 750 is a fast, comfortable, quiet highway cruiser with lots of leg room for back seat passengers. A responsive limousine. I bought my first car in 1968. This one is the best by far.

BMW's 750il definitely a okay. no go

This is a purchase where your money is going to go down the rabbit hole. In my opinion, resale value is going to be very low. The day when you drive it off the lot, that's probably going to be a 30k hit. When you get hot about that, the letdowns and breakdowns, don't expect that air conditioning in it or the loaner car to cool you off. The air conditioning in these years models is a joke. Constantly hot in the cabin even with the air conditioning set at 60 with an outside temperature of 78 degreesdegrees Fahrenheit. if you live in Southern California, this is that boy I warned ya. I guess that's how they get the mileage rating and the cabin temperatures up. Yeah I'm hating on that driving around with the windows down. The air conditioning is not designed,engineered, nor built rite. guess I'll only be driving this car at night.The older models, ie, circa 1976 thru 2000, were extremely reliable transportation. The AC would cool the entire cabin to a refrigerator temp, with 4 people in it, in 105° Las Vegas heat. Those were built rite n tite. When the rare to occasional mechanical issue arose, obviously it was fairly expensive to repair. But my Cadillac probably has similar costs. Something I've never experienced with the Caddy, it never breaks down. Even with over 225k miles on it, and 10 years of daliy driving. It's air conditioning is as effective as a freezer. Routine Maint, is all I have ever had to do to that car. So, in a moment of sheer ignorance, influenced by bmw marketing hammering everywhere, I decided to purchase a 750il. This car is absolutely undoubtedly hands down, the worst purchase of a vehicle I've ever made since 1970. An incredible amount of money to spend on a vehicle that's less reliable than a 1980 Chrysler k-car. This 750il IS highly unreliable, the engineering of driveline components is a joke. Sealed transmission, no way to change transmission fluid as an example. BMW's solution is a new transmission. Stay away. My best advice. Under 2 years old, and under 12k mileage, it has been in for 3 recalls so far. The dash and center cluster go dark randomly. After a few restarts, 50/50 chance it comes back up. The car is still drivable when this occurs. Fasten seatbelt lamp and the incessant pinging occurs when you do have your seatbelt fastened. Another random event built-in to infuriate you whilst driving. Be careful to get 1 manufactured AFTER July 2017, otherwise, you cannot have apple play. I got rat screwed by 1 month on that issue. It was just in for routine maint. An oil + filter change, visual inspection of fluid levels, and a diagnostic check. That will set you back $1085, Unless you bought the extended warranty. I was told prior to bringing it in for routine maint, it was a 2 hour process. for a car in this price range, it is completely ludicrous that BMW cannot communicate with the cars' 2 computers, to see what needs to be addressed during service intervals. But hey, I can get a concierge at the push of a button. Something I'll never use. except maybe when I'm broken down on the side of the road sweating my ass off. Breaking down on a freeway in Southern California, after Dark, is probably a death sentence. A drunk is probably going to smack into you at 80mph, even if you're in the breakdown Lane. I can't tell you how many times I've seen that occur. Reliability is the number 1 priority when I buy a car. When checking the car in for service, I was told that time frame was 2 days, instead of 2 hours. The recalls were software updates to Driveline computer, 3 so far, and a cooling system recall. When I drilled down on the cooling system recall, that was replacement of both turbos, and it's cooling line hoses that WILL leak eventually, sooner than later. When I picked it up, it was 3 full pages of service work performed on a 20 month old car with no more than 12k milage on it. And I do not drive it like my Corvette. That impressive rocket ship hasn't been into the shop in over 5 years of brutal punishment when the need 4 speed arises. Stay away from this 750il. It won't treat you nice, but will hammer your wallet and your patience very well. Near as I can tell, From the full parking lot in the BMW service shop, every one of these 2015 to current year vehicles are going to fail miserably. Note to BMW. you should go on an engineer hiring spree. Most qualified, will have worked at GM. After all, GM gives their prototypes to the engineers as daily driver cars. And that's after 5 years of a very careful evaluation on their test track. That car company doesn't want to see 'em come back for service. They don't rely on service receipts 2 stay in biz. if I were on the board of directors of BMW, I would terminate all Senior Management, and replace them with experienced Visionaries from GM. if you don't want to immediately ruin your brand. Which is absolutely unequivocally what is transpiring now.

The best 740i ever

I was looking for a new car for quite some time, as my M5 E60 was becoming a classic and I needed more comfort, better gas milage and front massage seats. I test drove Tesla P85D, Mercedes S-class and they didn't impress me - heavy cars with bad corners handling. When I first test drove 740i it really impressed me with lightness and super easy handling of the steering wheel. It is a big car, but driving it feels like it is not - engine, transmission, suspension combination is absolutely flawless. I now have 1000 miles on it and drove it for one month and love it every time I see it and I drive it. Technology and iDrive are top-notch, giving you a feeling of a spaceship, and not quite a car. The only shortcoming includes no full integration with Apple products (no screen mirroring and bad connectivity via bluetooth), which works great with Android products. Another shortcoming is lack of unlimited WiFi for the car from ATT - for some reason all you get is 10GB.

Gimmicky disappointment

I traded a 2016 S550 for a 2016 750ix with very low miles on it. That was a big mistake. The ride and drive is better in the big Merc - and the new 750 feels soft and "un-BMW like". In addition, the front seats are better in the Merc. Finally, the iDrive technology in the new 750 is gimmicky and unreliable. It is constantly glitching with my iPhone and I have had it into a dealer 3 times to update the software to remove issues. Bottom line, BMW had 2 years after the S550 redesign to one up MB - and they embarrassed themselves by launching this poorly engineered car. I have owned many BMWs over the years, but this will likely be my last.

Ultimate luxury and power

Great car if you buy it used when it is 4 years old for 1/3 of the price of a new one. 465 HP, very smooth ride. I would recommend the M Sport version. The ride and the look are a bit sportier and the exhaust sounds throaty!! Lots of options and extras come as standard in this vehicle. Maintenance not so bad and not so expensive relative to Porsche. 4/2022: I have since sold my Beemer and moved on with a Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Both cars are nice but I just wanted a change. BTW, right before trading my Beemer, the AC compressor went out and it cost $4,000 to replace it which was luckily paid out of extended maintenance program. But let me tell you that the standard maintenance on the Cayenne is not cheap guys.

Phenomenal performance with 31mpg

I was very leary of the 7-Series reliability, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. This is the finest, most refined car I’ve had/driven. I’ve owned hundreds of cars, from Subarus to Rolls Royce. I had the dealer do the Carbahn tune to 633hp for $1400. It was a 12.4 1/4 mile before at 440hp. It still delivers 31+ MPG at 75mph. Now at 80K miles, it’s still feels like new and is a great experience to drive. It’s amazing that a car this large and comfortable can deliver all this. These are really undervalued in the used car market.

Maybe some reviews got lemons

I have had at least six 7 series bummers and never had the issues pointed out in the 1 and 2 Star ratings. I do not use BMW for repair or service. My current 750 runs perfectly and is a joy to drive

great car

Check lane control, cruise control is great, hands-free on opening trunk not great. gas mileage is not as good as older 2016 was

2 years out....my 4th BMW

Consider what comes standard on the series. What features are most important to you and what you can afford. I wanted the horsepower of the 750 but opted for the 740 because of the actual improbability that I would be racing the car..:)..so far I am beyond impressed and don't want to get out of the car. I will say that the interior feels a bit of less quality than my 550...which was built in 2008. They have made some other refinements that balance the overall experience. I am a lifelong bimmer enthusiast. Update: 6/14/16 I am in love! I really have no complaints about the car. I did have to add radiator fluid...which is weird for this year model. I will see if that problem repeats itself. So far so good! The learning curve is sharp with this car as the technology is very advanced. I must retract my comment above based upon horsepower because I have now driven the 750 and the difference in driving experience definately does not justify cost. Overall, really content with my purchase! I still fell the same 2 years out....onlu complaint is front window noise that I swear occurred after i had the windows tinted in 2015. It's been checked and still no resolve. The whistle sound on the highway drives me slightly nuts.

FIRST BMW OWNER

Luxury and Performance: My BMW 750i Experience

Owning a BMW 750i has been nothing short of a remarkable journey that redefines what luxury and power mean in an automobile. From the moment you step inside, the 750i envelops you in sheer opulence and advanced technology, making every drive an experience to cherish. The interior of the BMW 750i speaks volumes about BMW's commitment to luxury. The seats are wrapped in premium leather that offers comfort that lasts even on the longest drives. Every component feels meticulously crafted, from the soft-close doors to the intuitive touchscreen interface, ensuring that luxury is felt in every touch. Driving the 750i is where the magic truly happens. The car glides on the roads with a grace that belies its substantial size. The smoothness of the ride is unparalleled, thanks to an adaptive suspension system that absorbs bumps and imperfections effortlessly. Whether cruising down the highway or maneuvering through city streets, the ride quality remains pristine, isolating you from outside chaos. Under the hood, the BMW 750i is just as impressive. The engine delivers robust power that makes accelerating onto freeways or overtaking a breeze.

Closest sedan to a Rolls Royce !

Absolutely Exceptional! I have owned over 80 cars personally, true enthusiast. This automobile is a masterpiece. The B58 Engine it’s perfection that’s built to last . The interior is made of the finest materials and the carbon structure body it’s such a complexed design that results in a perfect composure of the vehicle and weight distribution.

BMW 7 Series

I originally wasn't planing on buying this car, I originally went to buy a x5 40e but when I was in the showroom of the dealer I saw the 7 series and I knew I had to have it, after arguing with my wife for a good 2 hours to get the car she finally agreed, when I asked the salesman what color models they have in stock he told me that the one in the show room is the only one they got left so I got the car that I first saw in the show room. I had the car ever since and I love it, definitely will recommend to anyone

Hated the 2014 IL

I could not wait to dump my BMW 2014 IL X drive for the 2016 with most of the options This car put the MB S series to shame in handling and comfort I am keeping my Lexus LS 460 L AWD as I still dont trust the run flat tires . The 0-60 in 4.2 seconds is very impressive for a car this big

Better than my expectation

740i xDrive is a great car, transmission very smooth, Engine is power but quite, roomy, great features...and much more. I am in love of my car and have no complaint at all (beside the maintenance cost). It is my 3rd BMW, I have 328i, X5 35i, and now is the G12 740i.

Not the ultimate driving machine

Since 1996 this is my third seven series. This one is a cheap one, corner shortcut features, and I hate to say that I hate it. Let's start with the stupidest item first, that is the trunk key that in all cars, it closes the trunk, in this car it is designed to lock the doors, therefore, useless. The doors of all high end cars open when the driver opens the driver's side door, but in this car you also have to push to unlock button to open the other doors. Seats are cheap and no support. Dash is simple flat like old American cars. Cockpit isn't designed like a BMW signature, and cant's see the small digits of temp, hour, and other information. The radio is the worst I have ever seen. The service says it's because it's a satellite radio and it sucks in all seven series. Don't know if that is true, or they just don't want to do anything about it. The performance isn't like prior models, and the body looks like a whale simple and a long box. I was debating between this and a Maserati , and chose this because of promotional monthly lease and included service. You get what you pay for!

Amazing car!

We are thrilled with this car.

Outstanding review

Dependable and satisfaction guaranteed !!!

New 2016 BMW 740i

Had it for little more than 2 weeks so far and I love it. Previously had 5 series and for sure this one has more power with high level of comfort. The car is priced well with some discount offered by dealer. However, there are some options priced high and if you are using it, it does not matter but since I am not using those options such as lane keeper and lane change warning, I do not think this is worth of having. Best choice might be to go with basic since even basic model comes with a plenty options with high technologies.

Ultimate Driving Machine

The 750i is a fun, fast, luxurious, and eye catching vehicle. Add in the space, technology, and personal user adaptability I find it very hard to want to own and drive any other vehicle. Take care of her, she will take care of you!
