I have a black 04 745li. I get alot of compliments on it. Even though it has multiple electronic issues on the dash etc it still drives fast and strong.

All cars have issues, if you buy a used one...But if you wanna keep it on the road you gonna have to spend money, that's just my opinion

I just acquired the 04 745i BMW E65. Replaced the engine with exact replacement, runs well drives like a dream.

I've driven the E65 730d almost a year ago and despite being a two decades old model fell in love with it's driving dynamics and performance and planning to purchase one in the near future 😃

The interior is not worse than todays models. Actually this cars interior is more classy than new ones.

Have 06 750i 2 years now. Very reliable. Love it!!

[MrDaveangelo]

I used to hate e65, until I bought one. It is amazing. And I prefer the original pre facelift design. It is sure expensive to maintain, but it is a 20 year old luxury sedan, so if anybody buys it now and expects not to spend money on it, he is crazy.

I have the 2002 245i Series.
I could not get into my car and I even went the key.I've never had this problem before.But I seem to be having a problem getting inside the car with the key.It works on the trunk, but it won't work on the door.

i drove my e65 nearly 60000 KM so far, only things expect for maintence parts i changhed was: throttle housing, and the glowplug sensor ( just in case, while i was changhing glow plugs, ) it costed alot money nearly 700 euros to get it fixed but its a relatively low cost since i had the car for nearly 5 years, and the other maintence is mainly done by myself.

Just bought an 2003 745Li yesterday (18th), will be detailed and delivered today for a birthday present from my wife.

It was crammed in a warehouse and was unable to be driven, + had a flat dead battery. Couldn’t be jumped.

Noticed an open recall from 2010, and of course will have a full service done by the local dealer.

Want to be able to use my iPhone Bluetooth for calling, navigation, and music. Is this doable? Car has no manual or service records, but did do a carfax, and it seems ok.

Thanks

Look timeless.. even going to old..
Still similar with newer 7 series..

[amermushatov]

Ugly in history??? Shame yourself... The car facelift is better than few latest model nowadays

We bought a bmw 735 I Japan bmw 2003 We live in Aruba and having work done on a right side is harder then expected. But we love the car and need to do work. It’s idling off and drives off until it’s warmed up. I have some codes that came up when I had the engine read. Oxygen sensor bank 1 & 2 also throttle body position sensor and dsc malfunction. If I change those would that improve the vehicle. Also would getting an air filter and oil filter help as well. We just bought the car and I’m not a Machanic but do have a a bit of knowledge to do myself. Your thoughts ?

:Have a 2002 735i It had some issues which had to be fixed. Tip : crankcase ventilation tubes and vents. Change all if not done recently. High crankcase pressure made it leak oil everywhere but now clean and tight. Also check air mass flow sensor and small vacuum tube off the side of the plastic intake tube just before entering the intake on engine itself. If it leaks, it gives Besides all this - if you can smell oil in the exhaust or see blue smoke now and then - it could very well be the valve stem seals - big job, so dont buy that car . Also watch out if coolant fluid "disapperars". Stay away. But besides these things ( the valve stem and coolant problem I did not have ) - The car is fantastic to drive and a keeper. Mine has the dynamic drive suspension system, the big logic 7 sound system which is awesome , heated seats front and back plus cooling and massage in front. And everything works.

Hi, i owned a facelifted e66 v8 2006 750li, i ve been driving it for few years alrd and this issue keep happening but it never actually cause any real problem so i kinda ignore it, but it still annoy me and im not sure what cause the issue, hope u can help me out. I live in VietNam South East Asian country, the traffic here is quite slow so most the time i drive with speed under 30 miles/hour. This issue only happen after i start the engine and drive for 10-15 minus, and it mostly happen when i start driving uphill and slowly accelerate from around 25 miles/ h to 35 miles/h and that is when the car start a series of vibration/ shaking that i feel like it come from under/below the car. The vibration/shaking come in waves, it vibrating for like 2 seconds and then stop for like 0.5 sec and then vibrate again 2 secs and repeat few times. When i almost reach the top of the hill, it stop. I really confuse about this and its been happening for years and no mechanic in my city can actually figured out the issue correctly. Please help me out on this, thank u so much.
