Folks, BMWs are truly exceptional cars. The higher the range model (say 7-series), the more expensive it is to fix. I had a 2000 328i from 1999-2015, when it was totaled by someone who hit me. I did nearly 263, 000 miles and still had the original clutch. I got good at doing my own brakes and other maintenance. That made it cheaper. But in 263, 000 miles, I was never stranded. I loved that car.


I now have a 2011 750i MSport. I love it. It's expensive to fix...like really expensive. But, it's something you know when you buy it. they are reliable (thankfully)...and, frankly, they just look great. The 750i drives like it's stolen...so damn fast, it'll blow your mind.

I have 4 of these. 2 745li and 2 750 Li. Will not recommend you to buy these cars unless you are an enthusiastic mechanic. Parts are cheap though. Labour will be the killer.
Good video here. Very pertinent.

[BROOKSHIRETX]

This was extremely helpful because my car just started making smoke in the tailpipe thanks again

[neilwattoo]

I'm original owner of an '04 745Li w/ only about 70K miles. I can confirm, this is spot on.

[curtishouze]

I was looking at a 2005 745i, now I will look for a 2006 750i. Thank you for the valuable information.

[melissataylor]

I had an 04’ 750 LI and I had no issues but it was totaled 😆🤦🏽‍♀️ by far my favorite car. I think there will always be issues with any car.

[DaveGringo]

Most people dream about these cars but after buying one the dream quickly becomes a nightmare!!!

[charlesshaw]

I have a 2003 745i e65 with the n62. Best car I've ever owned! Smooth, silent, and 0-60mph in exactly 6.0secs!
I've had it for three years and first thing I did was have all oil and transmission seals changed plus a new head gasket. It has used 1ltr of oil in 3 years! Change the oils every 7k if normal oil or every 12k if longlife and you will have very few problems. Absolutely beautiful luxury ride!

This was my Dream car as a teenager until the 645 came out, then that became my dream car. i ended up getting a 645ci in 2015 even tho i already knew that the 650 was the better version smh. had the valve stem seal issue straight out the dealer & had massive smoke from the exhaust at every stop light just like u described. motor blew in 3 months. so much for achieving my dream car

[acourtneylawson]

My 745li is running hot with new thermostat and new oolant sensor..what should I try the head gasket isn’t blown I used a dye test to confirm...there’s to much pressure in my cooling system that it cracked 2 reservoirs.

Good day I have a 745li 03 abs light 💡 comes one with park brake scan tool says 16 fault codes and most related to can bus where would this plug be located.

[qvidas]

70% of the problems you listed, I have with my 2005 745li and 2007 750i.  BEST LOOKING PIECES OF SHITS ON THE ROAD!

[lilbfromprinceton]

Where online is a good source for parts? Are there any repair kits that you use?

[gumbie]

Was thinking of buying one of these (2008) then I got wise and bought a Lexus 🤔

[DjDestinyChicago]

There’s nothing in the video stopping me from buying one of these. I can do all the repairs myself, so that helps. You forgot the timing chain guides that the 4.4 is notorious for.

What do you know about the Oil level sensor malfunction light? My '08 750li has this problem. I checked the oil and it was fine. I replaced the oil level sensor and it showed correctly the first time I started the car after replacement. The next time I started the car and drove it it ran fine. But when I shut it off I got the same message "Oil Level Sensor Malfunction". I changed the Oil pressure sensor. I read somewhere that the problem could be the alternator. Mine had been replaced before I got it. So, I bought a new one and I still get the same warning light. I've reset the oil service light and it was fine for one drive then it came back again. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an 06 and an 07 BMW 750Li - Both seem to have problems with NO start - I will have dash lights but no crank. I'm told to check the ground straps. The problem is I'm getting different locations and amount of straps. We found one on right front near starter but looks fine. Do you have know any other locations or maybe a video on this issue.

[louislau]

Have the 2003 745i
Pulled engine . Secondary pump not working
Carbon buildup was choking it
Had to pull engine
Finally passed smog
Runs like a dream
Old cars need attention
Find a great reasonable mechanic
That’s what I found first b4 the car
Love this car

[claudiar.]

Your videos are very informative I like it because I just bought about 10 months ago 2010 BMW 750i- I started feeling that when I start braking the car jerks. What do you think it could be?
