I track my mileage closely out of habit, and while I've only filled up once so far, I'm at 24.1MPG. Which is pretty much in line with the vehicle the 750 is replacing for me (2021 Genesis G80 3.5T Prestige). I can live with that.

A big plus for me with the CPO cars is the unlimited miles warranty, which I extended with the "platinum wrap." I wouldn't normally buy an extended warranty, but I acknowledge this is an extremely complicated car. And as I understand it, the platinum wrap coverage adds back in some items excluded from the regular CPO warranty.

This is my 6th 7 series. My first 6 cyl…..although I’ve had the same engine in X5 and 3 series. All my other 7’s were v8’s and had issues with oil burning and injectors…other than the B7. Love the power of the V8 but not reliable in my opinion.
