Thinking of a 2012 750i xdrive

Hi all,

I'm thinking of a 2012 750i xdrive with 78,000 kms on it.

Of course I'm going to do my due diligence and get a proper PPI done independent of the bmw dealership. If an extended bmw warranty exists, I will certainly get it.

But I wanted to know from your experience how reliable this car is ?

What are the common problems ?

Are there specific years to stay away from ?

I have one mechanic friend who says this is a horrible car and it will be in his shop regularly ? and go towards an audi. But I'm really not an Audi guy after owning a older m3.

Aside from basic maintenance (oil, fluids, brakes) , do I need to do anything to make it a bullet proof daily driver ?

Or on the flip side of the coin, do I walk away from a car like this ?

Thanks for any suggestions..

Go for 2013 and after.
It is not a horrible car at all.
It is a very reliable car.
The most important thing is "How do you treat It!"
After all, I will go for an in-line 6 with twin scroll turbo. BMW put this engine on every single perform.

If it is the n63 motor v8 twin turbo don't waste your money. Google the problems, nightmare I'm living currently.

I love my 2012 F02. I have had very little minor issues. I currently have 42k miles and the care was well maintained during the initial warranty period. With that being said it is a BMW and honestly, anytime you buy German, you better be ready to cover some costs if needed. I have owned them all and don't feel like any brand is better than another. They all have issues, it happens, just pay for it and move on.
