750e owners, how are you enjoying your ride?

I’m thinking about jumping into a 750e from my current X5 50e. Love driving a PHEV. Curious to hear how everyone is liking theirs. Some pics wouldn’t hurt either!

Ride is alright. Fuel consumption is great. Barely 3/4 of a tank a month. However the wind noise from side mirror is driving me crazy. And there is a small rattle from the front right speaker/door area

There is a VERY known TSB about the mirror wind noise. The TSB about this mirror wind noise is posted on this forum

There is no reason to live with this, and complain about it...there is an official fix from BMW.

Rattles drive me NUTS, so I get the frustration if you have one from the front right speaker/door area. Good news, if you have located the area, Service is much more likely to get it fixed.

Most BMW dealers are pretty good with making sure 7 Series owners are taken care of.

I am on my 5th 7 Series and any issues I have had in the past....the dealer was amazing addressing quickly.

Unfortunately I am based in Malaysia. No luck with the TSB yet as the dealer haven't received any info from BMW.

Most the BMW dealer over here have terrible service regardless of which model you go for

Got my delivery a week ago, did not get to drive it much, had it in for full PPF. So far I think the ride quality is amazing. The wind noise issue is definitely there and should get fixed now that it’s documented. I have the Excutive Drive Pro, the driving dynamics are simply amazing.

What’s the maximum mileage you’ve seen on a full charge and full fuel?

So far managed to get close to 850km. Not sure what's that in miles. Battery alone is between 70-80km. Fuel will get +-760km

One more question for you guys, are your windows laminated? I understand that the 740i has single pane glass while the 760i is double pane.

Unfortunately I am unable to give you an answer. Had the car for close to 2 months and put in close to 1800km and I still have more than a quarter left in fuel as I charge the car daily.
