I can not give this car the review it deserves. But so far this car is phenomenable. It is new and I have not had time to evaluate everything you want me to answer. It does everything but drive itself. I am still learning the many capacities of this vehicle. If I did not check Great-it simply means I have not gotten that far tested or evaluated that aspect. (This statement is still valid). I have no idea of MPG of gas. I fill up at the half full mark and drive). 3Jan 2020 The car has been reliable so far. I have no complaints at this point. I feel that the technology (from what I have read) is right on point. I am still enjoying my car.

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.

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
