Honestly, it's crazy how things change as time goes on. Especially how far cars and technology have come now compared to almost a decade prior. Things move so quickly lol.

I remember 2013 like it was yesterday. No telling what the average repairs are on a 2013 750 now.

And now you’re a squirrel?

I was in college in 2013, and now I just bought my 750i for $5k.

Even the pre refresh version of the current generation looked really nice lol

Do you still by chance have it? How has it treated you over time?

+Leo the Weirdo That's why there is the Alpina B7!

+Message Man They also have a v12 M760 coming this year. 600hp. Not exactly an M7 and not a regular 760. They are calling it " BMW M760i xDrive". 0 to 60 in 3.7 secs according to bmw. Should compete very well with s class AMG. Alpina has a 600hp B7 coming up for 2016 too.

You better grab a hell of a warranty

Absolutely a great first car. I've had 3 of them over the years. But get a warranty.

jeremiah Jones he said that 2 years before you commented there is something called depreciation

Make I ask why

Gods Reclamation I think most german cars depreciate like a rock after warranty is up because the costs of repair are extremely high. My friend's E-class 2 years after warranty was up required a 20k engine repair. German cars like to shine bright and not last for very long. Personally, I wouldn't buy the big 3 (merc bmw audi) past warranty. Edit:@3:37 brian cooley confirms what i've just said.

Extremely complicated and in some cases unnecessary engineering, leading to bad reliability or parts wear out. This means mechanics have to be trained in all of this which means higher labor costs. Getting the idea?

heh almost 3 years since you posted this. Another reason why 7 Series, S Class, and A8 ("flagship" / high end models) depreciate badly is the image. People buy or lease the 7,S,A8 etc to show they have money/power/etc when that model becomes old no one wants it because it looks like you're trying to look rich etc if you really can afford the payments etc you'd always have the newest one (however they are still very luxurious etc cars and a good deal if you can maintain them) but the target client for 7,S,A8 etc do not want to be stuck in the "old" model when the new one comes out

_________ ________ they're great cars and even greater when you can drive such a luxurious car that's like new for the price of a new Toyota. It's easy to find a 4 year old one that's still nice because a lot have only had one owner. A great deal for car that was $150k new and still looks like new.

INGLEWOOD CRIPS That's everything German, though

hell yeah I herd the maintenance on bmw are a pocket killer

jacob lay All German brands are like that until the car gets to 15 years old and the suppliers are allowed to sell you parts directly.

+jacob lay Have a 08 7 series after warranty ends expect maintenance bill of $1800-4000 per year. Last was about $3600.

Martin Espinoza Except their guns ;)

+Jasen Todorov No.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yea you might be thinking about the 2016 bmw750li

Dean Long Stop/start systems are more elaborate than just a conventional starter motor. My car has it--not a BMW--and it works great. Is very smooth. With the engine off at lights the car is extremely quiet and more relaxing. In hot weather the system is pretty good at detecting when with A/C needs to run and therefore doesn't shut off the engine preventing you from baking while waiting for a green light or at a drive though.

I see thanks for the info.what about how alot of an engines wear is from cold start? will stopping and starting all the time wear the engine faster? or less wear from not being used as much?

Dean Long S/S systems work only when the engine is warmed up. These systems are programed to work only under certain conditions. For instance, if you stop and start repeatedly over a short period of time, then the system temporarily deactivates. Of course like active accident avoidance systems, some work better than others! These systems are ubiquitous in Europe. When I was in Sweden, when a stop light turns green, all the engines around me would start up at once. When I drive my car without it, I feel so wasteful at stoplights, drive up ATM's, drive throughs, traffic jams, etc.

***** From what I Googled, it can tow about 1,600 lbs. Make from that what you will.

Leo the Weirdo seems low for such a strong engine but towing with a sedan is silly in retrospect.

that's exactly what I just did yesterday evening! Carbon black-blue w/ M-sport package... $95K original for $42K.

Darvell La'Rick Powell Congratulations. Enjoy it!

Thanks!
