Is it CPO? What the mileage? Make sure you gets a pre purchase inspection

I have a 16 750i and id say it's been okay. My car is under warranty and has extended through CPO so I really didn't pay much attention to it. My previous M5 F10 was a solid car. 0 mechanical issues and rarely at the dealer.

FYI - I was looking at trading for an F90 and bmw would only offer $29-32k for trade in and my car is in mint shape and loaded. Just something to think about. You'll have an immediate loss depending on what you'll be paying.

In 10K miles I've had the following issues.

Low/High fuel pumps replaced. The car intermittently would not start. BMW could not figure it out. Replaced both pumps and no issues since. Roughly 22K miles when this happened.

Rear sunroof cover would not function. They replaced the mechanism.

Driver seat fan was off balance and making a grinding noise while driving / taking corners. Replaced fan.

Seat stitching coming un done. Replaced seat cover.

Dash leather peeling up in the corner. Replaced dash

Plastic on the door trim peeling while wiping down with damp towel. Replaced door trim / panel

Driver side door leather is lifting up, bmw just approved door replacement. Waiting for the part from Germany

I do have ivory leather and I'd say the leather is a bit of disappointment. I find the color on the seat us wearing away showing the undertone. Bmw repaired twice. I'd go with black next time. Never see the imperfections.

I've had many cars and I'd say these items are not extreme but for the amount of miles I have seen very premature and unexpected in a flagship car. Overall BmW has done an amazing job handling the issues and providing excellent customer service. With that said, I would never own a 7 series without warranty of some kind. It will brake the bank. Better off getting an M5 F10 for half the price.
