Advice on buying a used BMW 750i 2013-2015

Hello Everyone I am looking for some guidance on purchasing a used BMW 750i or 750Li for myself in the upcoming 2 months. I have been browsing the markets furiously and have come to terms that not all of the 750's out there are optioned the way i'd want.

After scraping through cars.com I have found that I will be able to afford majority of the 750's with around 40-60k miles.

My real questions I haven't been able to figure out is what kind of maintenance schedule comes with this car. And how would I go about knowing if this was actually done previous to my ownership. I also see a lot of company lease vehicles that come off 3 year leases, would this be a good buy or should I stay far away?

Lastly could some of you share any problems you might have had with the F02 2013-2015 750's you own and what I should expect after purchasing this car.

Thanks so much for any opinions or help

Stick With A Cpo 750 That Way All The Maitenance Has Been Done And Hopefully You Will Have Some Of The Maitenance Package Leftover So You Can Extend It Year By Year Or I Believe Up To 3 Years At A Time. And You Will Have A Extended Warranty As Well. So Make Sure You Purchase From A Bmw Dealership. As Far As Trouble Get One With The N63tu Engine And You Should Be Fine

What's the 63tu engine and how is it different?

Chiming in on this thread. I just put a deposit down on a 2014 750XI with 77k.

The car doesn't arrive for a week but I'm happy with the spec. Every option apart from rear entertainment, massaging seats and Active Drive Assist.

What is the best option for a warranty? I don't believe I will be able to buy a BMW one so I imagine Carchex is the way to go. Has anyone had any experience with ForeverCar?

As soon as the car arrives it will receive black kidney grills and a BMS stage 1.

Looking forward to it!

There is a TCU flash available for it but I don't know if it will improve the shift speed. I think it's a derivative of the Alpine flash which I put on my E92.

So front my understanding, the facelift (2013-2015) had the N63tu, which is the better and more reliable engine?

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a 2015 CPO 750li am with 16000 miles. However, I'm concerned about the reliabilty

my #1 concern before buying my 7 was reliability and after doing some research I on decided on the 740 which is a v6. It's reliable and has better gas mileage. I've own my 2014 740li for over 2 years and so far nothing but regular oil change and alignment.

Be patient... a good deal is out there!

I'm not a fan of the newer interior consoles in the '16's and up. Recently found a '14 750Li XDrive with less than 16,000 miles on it. Yes, it had less than 16K miles. Incredible, right? Interior still looks and smells like a new car. I had been searching for weeks. I had to travel over an hour away to get it, but it was well worth it!

I just picked up a 2014 750Li XDrive and found that Endurance seems to have the most comprehesive coverage and is moderately priced, but Liberty Bell Auto's price is the best but has exclusions.

2015 750i

I had a 750i and it was the best car I've ever driven. I also own a Ferrari California so that says a lot. I didn't have any mechanical problems with it and I absolutely loved driving it! The only problem I experienced, which was not mechanical, but it drove me insane, was that there was a rattle that developed between the passenger door and the seal. It sounded something like a rattle that was loud enough that you could hear (similar to a sound that it would make if you had honey between your fingers and you kept pressing them together and pulling them apart very rapidly). It drove me insane. Loved the car! Hated the rattle!
