Avoid buying a broken BMW 7 Series and find the E65 7 Series that shifts through the gears easily and is as luxurious as it should be that can achieve the 155mph top speed. Avoid the mistake of buying a broken BMW as a project and attempting to fix it only to find it is not as reliable as you thought it might be. This buyer's guide covers the BMW 7 Series E65 E66 E67 and ultra-rare E68 from 2001 7 Series, 2002 7 Series, 2003 7 Series, 2004 7 Series, 2005 7 Series, 2006 7 Series, 2007 7 Series, and 2008 7 Series in all trims SE to Sport to Individual. The E65 7 Series was controversial styled when it was released and nicknamed the bangle butt due to the rear styling nicknamed after the head of BMW styling at the time. However, owners and buyers may be nervous about reliability so we have created our guide to help inform you on how reliable the 7 Series is and why it depreciates so much and becomes cheap.
The issues discussed in our buyer's guide to the BMW 7 Series are gearbox issues, poor handling, cam chain stretch and iDrive issues. We also discuss the benefits and downsides of the petrol and diesel engines and give information on the mpg of the 730d vs 730i and the 745i vs 745d. The 760i and its V12 engine will remain a favourite of ours.
