The interior of this car looks ahead of it's time. Better than most luxury cars in the market today

Great information George on this particular model of 7 series, they have got a notorious reputation for bad reliability issues on certain models but as you say if you keep on top of the maintenance and knowing failure points, then they can be a good car to own

I have 2004 745 in mint condition bought it 8 years ago and never had a problem , looks new , drives new . I just do the regular maintenance like oil change, etc .

Very interesting video. Tnks George

I have the 730d and 750iL. I’ve had to change all the struts bonnet also. But the cars are excellent. Thankyou for the video

I don’t have a 7-series (yet) but these videos are fascinating. Thanks George!

Thanks dude 😊

Very good video thanks ...well done ✅

My 2007 750li e65 e66 ran great for a mon😮 after purchase,then started smoking misfiring wasting gas.A cheap obd2 reader said failed exhaust cam pos sensor,bank 2,and multiple misfire codes.I replaced all 4 cam pos sensors,new spark plugs,new battery.Smoking stopped,but still rough idle,misfires.I got a cheap $5 non contact electric voltage probe,that detects voltage near live wires and beeps,flashes if electric is present,and touched to each coul pack,after removing top bmw cover,side covers on engine.The coil packs all had voltage.The non contact probe wont tell you if they are weak or failing though.I replaced all 8 coil packs.The cheap obd now reads cam pos sensors A intake sensor overtiming of camshaft,and the ECU doesn't like the electrical reading of the B exhaust sensors.I canmot program or erase codes adjust timing,or reset ECU with this cheap obd2.Bought a ancel fully compatible BMW obd1-2 program scanner for $88 on ebay.Or the foxwell nt 510 is bmw compatible programmable for $125.Also replaced the oil pressure hoses and relief valve,its directly in front of you,center of the engine,when opening hood,on top of engine.This affects the camshaft lubrication and can cause bad sensor readings by ECU if clogged or bad.Also a weak or bad battery can cause multiple sensor readings by ECU.Reprogrammed timing timing,and engine runs good now.If any aftermarket parts are used on BMW,the ECU must be reset,as well as new battery registration,as the ECU stillbthinks its reading parameters of the old parts.

Hi George good video thanks

Thanks George I am in the process of buying a 7 series 2003 hoping this will ba good experience, Regards from San Antonio Tx, I already subscribe to your channel 👌👍🙏

I suggest to only replace the door hold struts that are bad…likely the front doors….I’ve owned several m73 products and you need to preserve capital for the next big doller item…agree the 12 cyl engine is very robust and vey fun! but cooling issues are commonplace including parts located deep into the V. You can easily spend 3--4000$ If you need to go into the V and replace pipes…..once you go into the V it’s smart to replace everything as the labor can kill you. Many parts are plastic and they cook under the hood…. Also consider replacing the plastic fan…they get brittle and they can explode and destroy EVERYTHING in the front including slicing through the steel hood !!!!! Killing: belts, hoses, filter boxes, radiator….This I know first hand!

Good advice, i am thinking of buying one as a second car. thank you

Hi George does the 2010 7series 3ld have many problems

Yes.îs true. I just buyed e65 2006 and just one speaker work(the first problem from your video)

My 750Li won't start. does it have a common problem for that?

Overall 3.0D in the pre LF model is the best. Some comments, the NAVI unit going bad brakes the optic cable circle, you can just bypass it and the rest of the units will work.

Hello there from Spain. Nice to hear and read about you guys talking about BMW E65. Im going to buy one soon im searching 730D . Give me tips and usual issues and problems that will appear over 100/200/300 thousand kms. As long as i know from start is that this beauty will use Ravenol from the rest of its life . So guys i attend you and wanna know opinions and personal experiences. Thank you very much! Much love and much maintain of cars 🏁👌

If the trans has shavings in the fluid and gunk it will cause the trans to wear in places it normally wouldn't so draining and replacing fluid will mess it up there won't be anything filling the gap between the disks

George, do you still have the 750i?

If I'm not on flat ground the trunk will rise up like normal and come down right away, works perfect on flat ground though. My IDive controls are toast and the OBD2 is unresponsive, but it runs like a top, 2007 750LI. 122k miles, only 2300 USD though and it will stay at only 122k miles, no matter how much I drive. I

I’m interested in a 05 bmw 760li with less then 37,000 miles I make 16 an hour do you think I should get it it’s my dream car and I want to make it my daily

Hi George Got an issue with the sound system, it doesn't sound right, no bass or treble and sometimes only the passenger speaker works and the others just hiss, any ideas?

How much would you budget for maintenance when you first buy one of these? I am collecting an E66 760 tomorrow here in the U.K.

How hard of a fix is the secondary air pump (smog pump)? On a 2008 7 series btw if that helps

Can I just add fluids

The car came out in 2001 not 2003, there was never a problem with the I drive itself , the doors is a rubber from 4 € , dynamic drive failure is the steering wheel sensor from 12 euro, boot is just an oil refill, service gearbox is only at 150000; so in the end you now no anything about e 65 point.

I just purchased a 2006 750i new battery installed and the lights work and no start plus my new battery is dead please help me

hi i have very big noise when i driving on neutral noise is gone only noise when car on gear.when i press down clutch pedal noise is gone or when i release clutch pedal noise come on straight away.

Hi, i owned a facelifted e66 v8 2006 750li, i ve been driving it for few years never really had any issue but 1 and this issue keep happening but it never actually cause any real problem to the car so i kinda ignore it, but it still bothering me and im not sure what cause the issue , hope u can help me out. I live in VietNam South East Asian country , the traffic here is quite slow so most the time i drive with speed under 30 miles/hour. This issue only happen after i start the engine and drive for 10-15 minus, and it mostly happen when i start driving uphill and slowly accelerate from around 25 miles/ h to 35 miles/h and that is when the car start a series of vibration/ shaking that i feel like it come from under/below the car. The vibration/shaking come in waves, it vibrating for like 2 seconds and then stop for like 0.5 sec and then vibrate again 2 secs and repeat few times. When i almost reach the top of the hill , it stop. I really confuse about this and its been happening for years and no mechanic in my city can actually figured out the issue correctly. Please help me out on this , thank u so much.

I have 2004 760li are there any major problems engine mine is smoking misfire shutting off

My e brake is stuck can I just take the drums off ?

🙌🏼

George, did you ever find the source of the clunking noise you had?

Is the intro you doing a voice over or are you talking whilst filming? Hope that makes sense

Wooooooow 🤟😁 BMW

Last V12 that works and goes

My e65 has rear wheel steering. Never seen another with it. Park it up and get someone to fully turn the wheel and look at the rear wheels

"navigating with a dial sucks" My 2021 Semi truck: "i was offended by that"

The what? The trunk? Since when have we called it that in the UK?

You can not run a car like that on a budget

Whole car is a problem. In 2003 it was something special, but now you can get much better multimedia from chinese for 100 euros. If you like to spend free time in garage, buy it. Also, this guy drive's UK model, with lower mileage than in European models. Newer models from 2006 was also crap, but many mistakes was fixed. Overall, it's just crap, that's why those E65 are so cheap. The only thing i like in these cars are ventilated seats with massage function

Less is more…the E38 is considered by many as a most beautiful example…simple compared to later digital offerings…cheep to get into +- $5000…

This has to be the ugliest 7 series generation ever.
