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.

Not trying to knock the car. I think the 7 is a beautiful machine and the drive is amazing. Just wanted you to be aware of my experience. I'm sure everyone will have a different story. My only advice is to have a warranty through bmw and drive that price down. These depreciate hard as you can see from the sale price and the trade in.
If I had to do it all over again, I'd lease a new 7 instead and not have to worry about it all. Haha.

Sucks you had issues with the M6. I guess IFS just hit or miss with these cars. Can't believe you too had dash lifting issues. My M5 didn't have extended leather so that's probably why I didn't experience those issues.

I use an Indy for routine stuff. My only gripe is that the dealer sold me the car with almost no tread left on the tires. When I put snows on in October my Indy recommended replacing the tires come spring. A disappointing expense I was not expecting. Live and learn I guess. So my advice is check the tires. |

There was a silver one in Carrolton TX that was fully-loaded with everything except executive lounge seating and alcantara, but has executive rear seat package with screens. Also had 20" wheels which I prefer. It's been listed for $41K and appears to have sold today. I would have been willing to pay that for a fully-loaded one except I really want black-on-black. |

Congrats on the new vehicle! I'm actually in the market for a 7 series at the moment. Would you be able to go over a few things to know if I'm getting a good deal or not? How much was your vehicle price? what fees did the dealer charge you? (Doc fee, cert fee, etc..) Also, was the car you bought from a bmw dealer? In addition, did you end up buying a third party warrant? If so, who and how much? Also, the stuff that they just changed out for you, did you have to pay out of pocket or how was that taken care of?
