this man is trying to help us, and why so much stupid comments?

Your videos are awesome. Best I’ve seen so far. Have helped a lot. Have dealt w rear air suspension, control arms, battery replacement, transmission filter, radiator, coolant issues, cabin air filter, tires, brakes and now dealing w what I think is the need to replace valve cover gasket. You videos have helped w most of these Thank you

DAMMMM..... U DEFINITELY CHANGED MY MIND!!! I REALLLLY WANTED ONE. THNK YOU FOR SAVING ME. I APPRECIATE IT👊🏼

I have experienced the first three problems mentioned. I was amazed that within 1000 miles of buying my 2012 750i I had to add a quart of oil. I researched the oil consumption online and found out that BMW considers it "normal". Now I constatnly check my oil level and have been adding a quart jsut about every 1000 miles. Also at 64000 miles I had to have the control arms replaced because the ball joints failed. Prior to 2001 5,6, and 7 series BMWs would experience control arm failure because of poor bushing design. That was solved in the E65/66 series but now its ball joint failure in theF01/F02 series. Not much of an endorsement for "The Ultimate Driving Machine" company's engineering staff. Now even after having the control arms replaced (which made the car more stable) I am still experiencing vibration with my 20" wheels. It's less than it was but I was surprised that it wasn't eliminated. My E65 with 20" wheels was noticeably smoother. BMW is often cited as over-engineering their cars....but a lot of it is poor engineering. I say that as a nearly 50-year mechanical design engineer. Sigh!

I have F01 740i I bought used with under 100k miles. The controls arms and battery were the first things I replaced after purchasing it. I also had to replace the flexible disc between the rear differential and the drive shaft to pass state inspection. I do my own repair work, so it didnt cost much for the parts (FCP Euro). Like you I enjoy this car, it is easier to maintain and work on than the E60 5 series I previously owned. This car is a joy to drive and own. Nice videos!

Thank you Francisco! I appreciate your time to make videos. Looking at a 2008. Car blows me away as I have never been in a more quiet, secure feeling vehicle. But I'm not getting any younger & I just don't work on cars anymore. All cars need maintenance like humans. Just don't want to sell the farm to maintain it. German's build nice cars. Once more thank you, Mike

Nice video. I didn't know about the control arms. But the battery doesn't go bad because of the number of electronic devices. It goes bad because of the huge heat buildup from the N63 engine with the exhaust in the V. This means that the fan needs to run for a long time once you stop (at least in hot climates) and this cycles the battery, killing it over time.

Your videos are awesome thank you for helping people know what there getting in to. Thank you

Thanks for posting this video, I learned something new...Great video Great job

I can confirm all you said, except the brakes part. But we'll see on that as well. Good video!

thank you man you saved my money

Good job man!!!! I love your comments. Keep up the good work! I am thinking of starting a site specifically for 750s. Would love to have you on it.

This was a great video Thanks!!!!!

thank you for the info!

Also the intake vanos solenoids needs to be replaced as well . Around 100K miles or 165,000 km . This causes the car to shake and sets off the Engine light on the dash. Thank you Francisco for the great channel .

Nice color combo. White with black wheels is probably the best color combo. I seen one this color and fell in love. These cars with average miles go around 20,000 dollars. Trust me I checked. 20,000 is the minimum.

It's very true. I always have to check the engine oil. Always below full every few miles

Bmw= break my wallet

thank you, tell to us so many things

Thank you buddy great video

Hello Francisco, can you please make a video about: 1. Replacing light control module 2. Adaptive headlight malfunction repair 3. Replacing module for blind spot monitoring. Thanks so much!

What he mentioned here is true!. I have a 2011 F01 750xi. I have high engine oil consumption problem as well as Battery issue which I have already replaced. Still it is a fantastic car to drive. Excellent control and fun to drive!

Thank you. I only had to watch 2 minutes

Good video

Thanks.

He is right on the battery/oil I just started to hear some noise in the left front wheel I'm going to the dealer this week to check suspension noises. I lease a 2015 750li x with 20,000 miles and 9 months left on my lease so my warranty will take care of everything! The car is a beautiful machine if you can afford it. like all cars and humans they have there problems BIG and small !!

AS I WORKED AND FIXED LOTS OF THESE CARS, FIRST OIL CONSUMPTION COMES FROM UPPER OIL PAN GASKET LEAK AND BAD VALVE STEM SEAL, PISTON RINGS I HAVE NOT SEEING GOING BAD AT ALL LIKE THIS GUY TALKING, MOST PEOPLE GETS CONFUSED AND THINK RINGS ARE BAD, INSTEAD ITS A BAD VALVE SEALS, I REPLACED A LOTS OF THEM ALREADY, AND IT STOPS SMOKING AND OIL LEVEL WONT DROP. I HAVE FEW VIDEOS ON MY CHANNEL HOW I FIXED OIL LEAKS ON THESE N63 ENGINES

good video

You Have To Keep Up With The Car. I Have A 750li Msport And It Has Not Gave Me Problems Since Purchasing It In 2011, However, Now i am starting to see that it is eating oil alot faster than it was but still a great car. You Have to pay to play !

Yes all common but that's just the tip of the iceberg, this video should take about 3 days

I have a BMW repair shop next to where I live. The whole street is lined with 7 and 5 series. It’s ridiculous. I think they make beautiful cars, but I would never under any circumstances purchase a BMW, hell no .😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have a 2011 750li m sport lowered on 22s it eats oil tires and gas road vibration is terrible but I love the look

Wish I would've seen this video before I purchased a 2012 750 Li. It has a little over 95000 miles on it. I purchased it from a reputable dealership and within 2 weeks the engine was shot. The tech at BMW said there was brass in the engine. I'm thinking maybe from broken piston rings. A new engine is $27000 plus labor. So I had to purchase a used engine and the labor is over $4000. He's right. Make SURE a BMW is what you want to invest in before purchasing one. This will be my first and my last BMW.

BMW needs to go back to building their cars like how they did in the 1970's 1980's and 1990's. My 1983 7 series is built like a tank and is still reliable to this day!

Thanks !!! Good info! What state are you in? I want you as my mechanic!

Yes I used to have one 750i , two x5 , and many others bmws ! And all of that problems on those cars are topically true ! And not to mention he forgot the do have trouble problems on all windows, oil cap ! Cooling etc ! I do love bmws they my favorites cars ! But wouldn’t buy another one ... i did spend a lot money 💰 fixing all and every single bmw I have!!

You forgot the engine valve steam seals...........oil blows right by them you can use up to a quart a week. expensive repair.....

i heard and seen some first hand stories about this series of bmw. never understood how a expensive style of car can be built with so many mechanical errors. its almost like its done intentional to get you to buy expensive parts and labor. just weird to me. its bmw for crying out loud.

This is not true....the oil consumption not because of pistons ring or bad design.....the oil consumption because of valve stem seals & turbos...the BMW pistons rings is the most powerful rings in the market.

Moe11032 you are absolutely right.

Is it the upper or the lower control arms that go bad? Both sides? Ball joints? I like your videos. I am thinking about buying one. I have had many BMW’s over the years. I have a 2002 540i. May I ask on the 2002 540i, if the timing chain guide breaks and the chain goes out, do the valves need to be checked for being bent always? Last question: does this 750 Ix 2012 engine have timing chain problems that need to be maintained

I was about to get one 2012L x drive M but I don';t think so anymore, it burns oil, smells so bad on the exhaust pipe I don't know if I really should.

What about the 730d msport do they have common faults i need to look out for?

Hi Francisco, and thank you so much for all tips and videos. I have one problem with my F01, 2010. The trunk lock dosen't work. it wont unlock. Not with the remotecontroll, swich inside the car or not with buttom on the trunk. Only manual with the key. The trunk lift engine works still. If you have any tips or clues what could be wrong it would be most appcreciated. Best regards Gunnar from Sweden

Thanks for this. What has been your experience with the transmission in these F01 and F02?

Hey man could you tell me what bulbs you use for you halo rings an corners?

Every time I start my 2009 F02 get a notification on the Electronic dampening is it because I have 22s rims on it? Can it be deleted?

so what is the best type machine from BMW? how about 4 cylinder twin turbo in LCI 5 series?

lesson learnt im gonna stick with my ls 460

2013 and Up is very reliable. As Long as you take care of basic maintenance on time. You can’t be cheap.

Thank you. How about ball joints, timing chain and guides? There is a tool on the internet that can rent for changing valve seals with engine still in car. I looked at one but the rod bearings were out and it was backfiring into the exhaust manifold

Hi, on the oil consumption part can't you just put a oil cache can like the g35 infinity?

Yes i replace them Im asking if the new parts from bmw are better and last longer than original? Thanks

Hi Francisco. I have an F01 3.0 diesel with 105000 kms. What are the symptoms of bad control arms? Vibration or something? Nice video, kind regards, Neil.

Yes the 740 inline 6 are wayyy better and just as fast

Your thoughts on a 2013 740LI V6 3.0 Do they share similar issues?

what about problem with engine and gearbox ??:)

Hi Francisco, great video. I'm having a problem with TPMS. It will not reset. I spent a looking time looking for the antenna under the car near the driver's seat only to find it mounted inside the rear bumper. I replace dit but the TPMS malfunction warning remains. I think there is a main control unit but I cant find it anywhere. Would you know where the main control module for the TPMS monitoring is on a 2012 (F02) 750LI?

Hi, I am having an issue, on my BMW 750i 2009, my wipers turn on unexpectedly and stay on, and I can't turn them off, only if I pull out the fuse or disconnect the battery, then I reconnect it and it stops and then the turn on again

Damn, my last 2 cars have been lexus and I was looking for a change. All the people I know that have BMW tell me to stick with Lexus

I just don’t like how people say that 7 series owners are DESTINED for issues. Not always true if you keep up with maintenance.

I've been researching the 7 series for 8 years now. I still want to buy one but there's just so many issues with the car.

Hi Francisco. What do you think about 750 active hybrid?

Looking to own a BWN?? Get carshield insurance for used bmw, recommended to drive with not worry about having to go thru these problems. They will take care of you with just a contract

IT WAS AN SOFTWARE UPDATE SI B12 10 16 THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

Can you help w info on 2012 750 Li valve body .. problem after having replace engine

I had an e39 (520i 2002) it has similar problems, looks like it's a bmw weaknesses

Hello, plz can you post a video showing how to bleed coolant system. I have x5 with n63 and i cannot bleed it

I was thinking to upgrate from my e39 530I to this, but probably not. Touch wood my E39 is going super strong and does not eat any oil, I cannot imagine how a 11years newer model will have problems that my e39 2000 does not.

Im having and issue, no air blows in front at all. It does blow in the back. I have replaced the blower motor. What can it be?2011 alpina b7

thank you for sharing amigo! would you buy it again?

I have 740li 2013 6 cylender bought new ..after warrenty she gets fall apart ..exactly what this man said is true... Engine Power problem..suck oil ...breaks warn fast...loud fan ..suspension problem...et...i made mistake in my life when i bought it...the problem when sell bmw prise goes down .

Does the models with the 445 hp engine burns a lot of oil too?

Our n63 just got new engine as timing chain was stretched and piston and block worn Do they new timing chain and pistons last longer??

Hi there, I have a 2009 750i and the steering malfunction light has come on. I took it to my local steering shop and they pointed out it was the rear wheel steering. It's locked in a turning position. I can't find anything online about this problem. Also the steering wheel is way off centre position but the car drives straight. Any ideas? Thank you!

750i or 740xd? Whats your opinion?

Sooooooo truu

Biggest problem people in America don’t understand about Herman cars is that the part have expiration dates.not mileage limits. Germans will change parts out of they have a certain age not wait for a certain mileage or until they break. Ferrari Lamborghini and the other super cars are like that also. You can own one of these high door cars and not even drive it and stuff breaks. Gaskets leak , and plastics crack and allow leaks. If your in extreme temps like 100 degrees or super cold like -10 winters , you will see even more problems. Parts age and need changing to these high dollar cars. That’s part of the reason they lose value so much. The other is the cost of parts and labor is so high.

so u saying the car has bad piston rings? how then would it hold a HIGH compression ratio? r u sure its not doe to the fact with new environmental regulations you can vent oil into the atmosphere and therefore the crank case recirculates oil vapors into the air intake which then gets burned... this process is magnified with any turbo car. i can find many videos and articles explaining this phenomenon. Here is some features i will quote from the n63 motor "high-performance pistons and reinforced cylinder heads to withstand the additional stress from a higher compression ratio." 2 min in and already hearing nonsense,lets go for more. 20inch wheel vibrations... hmmm sure not cheap wheels, friend has an alpina b7 no vibrations with 21'', Entrepreneurs in Cars had the same problem when he bought an aftermarket set for f10 m5

I have a question for you can you put a 2014 BMW Alpina motor into a 2014 BMW 750i if both of them RWD

Thanks brother. I'm looking into getting a 2014 750li

MANNNNN! I HAVE A 2011 750LI..MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 60K...NOW IT SMOKES AND WONT PASS EMMISION..BACK TO LEXUS I GO!!

Francisco where is camshaft positioning sensor's on 2010 BMW 750li

can we get a summary

Hello Francisco, I have an issue with my transmission flickering from P to N when I try to park it and it just gives me an error of transmission malfunction. Any suggestions?

I love the accent, the way he says turbo. Makes it sound bad ass lol

Hey... Got 750i v8 2010. Ignition malfunction. The engine does not crank and does not start. The car is pretty new to me. I'm still driving Mercedes C200 w203 turbo diesel.

Are you located in Fontana ?

You know it is sad to say that back in 2010 I bought a 2005 bmw745li with the same issues here we are years later still the same issues plus more that was the worst by I would ever purchase in my life. Go out and buy a Lexus LS 460L. You can't go wrong.

I have one and it stays in the shop at least once a month I just got it out the shop $4000 for drive shaft. Now 4 days later I go outside my air bags are out the back end is sitting on the ground

Hi ,I have same problem with my car it's bmw 7 serious. It's start shaking about 60mph ,I do balance for 2 front tires now its fill better than before but still a little bit shakes. The tire have some bumps on it and worn on one side, two tire shops said maybe it's a shock problem but I'm not sure. That's shock or alignment what you think..

WAAW .man G TO MACH MONEY AND WAY TO MANEY PROBLEMS

I just bought a 750Li and the rear sunshade will not go down. Anything I need th check?

My AC automatically turns on constantly. It's a 750 Li 2010.it won't stay off..the battery loses charge and goes dead I don't drive it to much

i never add oil in my 750. thank God

Is valve guide seals not rings

I get a vibrating noise on my 750Li. seems to come from the front end. It’s sounds like the front bearings. I got new SKF front bearing hubs installed, new full drive shaft and I still hear it. You have any idea what it could be? Only 116k miles

Hey could you tell exactly where the ccv valve is located on my 2012 750 li

Hi, I'm looking at a 2010 750Li xDrive AWD with 101,494 ml. The dealer is asking $13,985. Do you think this is a reasonable price for this car? What are some of the things I should be looking at or for on the car when examining it? What engine does it have? Thank you for any help

I'm looking for the 750 bmw right now :( should i just buy something else damn i like this car
