One of the most underrated BMW's ever imo...My dad still has his and it's almost 10 years old now

I graduated 2013 this car was crazy when it released at the time. Now i can afford one😂😂

These BMWs need to be maintained on time every time as they're sensitive to what's put into them. With that being said it's very well documented on what needs to be done and because there are so many how to videos online you can service a lot of things on these cars by yourself. Sweet driving machines for the used price for sure.

The best 7 series ever made in my opinion . Very well made and fast 😀. Maybe the best full size BMW ever

Thanks for the review. I always enjoy your content. Got my 2014 750LI w/ 75K M sport X-drive twin turbo V-8 a few weeks ago and i’m still learning new things about it every day. The highway driving experience is unbelievable. Tons of features. kinda sporty yet dignified. The learning curve is huge but it's quite the ultimate driving machine. Very impressive. 😊

THANK YOU. I've watched a bunch of reviews about this platform that go off the deep end with tech review and talk about how it drives and how driving it compares to its competitors for about 12 seconds. Breath of fresh air.

No matter how expensive the car one thing that will never very change is the sound of that turn signal

I bought a 2014 F01 five years ago with 20,000 miles / 32,000 km from a company Chairman who had it serviced by BMW only. It has been the best car I’ve ever owned and I’m keeping it. This whole question about reliability has never been a factor for me. I replaced a drivers side door handle and an oil return line during the 5 years I’ve had it. It’s a dream to drive and that hot-vee V8 is astonishing. Have it serviced every 6,000 miles / 10,000 km and you’ll not have any problems…unless you pound it in Sports mode. Drive anything hard and you’ll pay for the privilege. Mine is a daily with the occasional country run. Just a superb car. For the record, living in Australia, the guy I bought it from paid AUD296,000 (USD193,000) new and sold it to me for AUD76,500 (USD50,000) four years later. Made in Germany at their Dingolfing plant, so it’s solid. No rattles, ever. These oil consumption questions are ridiculous. Mine only requires an extra 2 litres of oil every 3 months at most, and I’m in a country with a very warm climate. Buy a good example of any 7 and you’ll be very happy for years to come.

Been waiting for a good review on this car planning to buy one

Man o man as I type my 2012 bmw 750li xdrive is at BMW. With a ceased up engine. Exactly 6 months after they did work on it for a class action lawsuit for engine troubles. Only 6 months after the repairs they are telling me it’s not covered by BMW and to fix it will be 12,000 dollars. 😒 i bought this car 2 years ago with almost 70k miles on it for 25,000. I still owe 16,000 and it no longer is working. I took exceptionally good care of her the entire time and have receipts of all my work i payed for. Be careful people. I feel i got ripped of and it hurts. Just be safe folks. God bless

Great review. It's always fascinating to see these older vehicles available for the cost of a budget Kia. I was interested to hear about rattles in some other luxury vehicles. Our F150 has 200K miles, 1/3 of which is gravel roads and it has virtually no rattles or buzzes. Still this BMW is an object of lust and knowing about Cary Imports is a great resource if I ever decide to act on it. Thanks for this!

I looking to get one of these for the 7th time. I'm back and forth between the 7 series and a 4S Turbo. I've had 5 S Classes, 2 LS 460s. My addiction is the 7series. 2 months ago I purchased a Challenger Hellcat WB, I still crave a 7🤣

I wish you spoke more about technical things not just superficial specs. Would have been nice if you spoke about the elephant in the room - F01 reliability and service and faults and how this vehicle after 100k held up

20k Rolls-Royce ghost that part bro everytime I see one in my rear view I think it's a ghost from a distance nice review

Nice review my friend. I had the 03 BMW 325i. Love that car. They age well and have a comfortable ride. 🤙

Honestly, you weren't a car kid in the 2010's if you didn't just love the F01 7 series. 5 years later it still looks elegant and opulent Now it costs as much as base Honda Civic. I kind of feel bad for the poor guy that bought it new. I also drooled all over this car in 2014, Actually it brings me a lot of memories from then. This used to be the best of the best.

I love this car . I owned an e39 before this and what a fine upgrade .

Throw on the sport plus and paddle shift 3rd gear pull is crazy

I love my 2012 BMW 750Li

I always loved BMW. The guy I work fir just git an 850M. I think that's what it is. Either way, it's sick. I like the LS too. I do think the S class looks a little better. Maybe not a better car but I like the styling better.

Great review! Looking forward to more Lexus reviews though :)

I have an 09 750LI LOVE IT

I am 19 yrs now and I work hard for a Good 2014-15 bmw 750li model. I try to buy a „like new“ used bmw 7er 🥇.

Thank you Kevin.

I'd still LOVE to be able to afford and get the 2020 B7 Alpina :P

I have the 2014 Alpina B7 ( perfect )

2020 750i 41,000 miles later replaced coolant tank, replaced fuel injector, replaced low pressure fuel pump and one oil change, seems like every time i get in something breaks, I don't even drive it anymore.

I'm thinking about getting one

I’ve been thinking about this car because I truly love the style but there are so many videos that say they are horrible cars and need so much attention. I’m reallly not sure what to do.

Hey there. This is a very nice video, especially true if it is your first or among the first you've posted. There are several things that really stand out and I suspect are just some newbie mistakes: - Your assessment that this F02 is still "the ultimate driving machine" is, to me, refreshing. This platform is widely panned for its lackluster handling, numb steering (in your car, it has hydraulic steering whereas the RWD versions are electric) and overly-isolated cabin. Essentially, others have said this is far more like the S-class of yore and then bring up the E38 as the 7 to have. - You are correct in that the 2010-2019 RR Ghost (I believe it's RR04) is based on the F02 platform, and indeed, it also shares a LOT of parts, esp underneath the sheetmetal. They are even diagnostically, nearly identical and features can be electronically coded between the two. But the Rolls is definitely NOT the same thing as a 7. Therefore, calling your 2014 F02 V8 xDrive a $20000 V12 Rolls Ghost is reckless. I get it, you may draw inspiration for the comment from Lexus' historically thin guise of uniqueness from Toyota, but that is really not true here. Or with any modern Rolls, frankly. - You note a "rattle from up here" later identifying the region to where you point as the mirror. If there is a "rattle" someone mucked about with it and didn't put it back together properly. Historically, German cars are notorious for interior panels rubbing together and "creaking" as a result. This car shouldn't do that, but do look for a loose headliner, especially around the windshield. - Your comments on the S-class make no sense. You state the 7 is "far more solid" [than the S-class] which you cannot (and do not) substantiate with anything factual, or even with any kind of specific indicators that lead you to believe that. - You mention turbo lag on the S-class and depict a Diamond White W221 sportline. That platform has a turbo engine in the S550 (aka S500) for one model year, 2013, and it is a 4.6L TT DOHC V8 good for 429 hp and 516 lb/ft.... at 1800 RPM. Your assessment of "turbo lag" isn't supported by manufacturer-supplied numbers. The only thing I can think of which you may "feel" is that the ZF 8HP is more eager to downshift vs the 722.9 and that may manifest itself as throttle hesitation which you may have interpreted as "turbo lag." The other point of note is that the model you filmed yourself in has the N63TU which is widely criticized for throttle lag. - The comment "most German cars don't last" is quite ignorant to believe and worse to admit/say. Mercedes-Benz has a generations-long reputation for durability which Toyota mimicked when developing its Lexus-branded cars. Evidence of this is blatantly visible in LOTS of places, including the area around that dealer. - You should also clarify that the F-platform 7 has air SPRINGS and then, ONLY in the REAR, and THAT is standard across the range on LCI models (at least in the U.S.). Prior to that, it was an option for any model, and standard on LWB. Front suspension uses steel springs with electronic dampers with two settings. The ZF 8HP was standard in the 760 and ActiveHybrid 7 from inception and added to others with the LCI in 2013. Likewise the 4.4 TT V8 was standard in all 750 models since inception, although, the LCI did have revised output figures. - The M5's engine, although based on the same fundamentals, is remarkably different from any of the _50i models. - The door hinges are not terribly unique, however, if you are keen to see interesting doors, engineered specifically to offer more space to get in and out while reducing its outward swing, check out the first gen Lexus SC (aka Toyota Soarer) and the Mercedes CL (C215 platform). - You state "this Rides better than a 3-series" - probably better to clarify that statement with "rides softer than a 3-series" which makes a lot more sense. - I think you mean "ogling and Googling" (you said "Oogling and goggling") but that's just nitpicking on my part :)

I own 2013 f02. It's my favorite vehicle so far. The reliability comments kill me. This car is for a person that really loves driving. I smile when I get in this thing! Yes maintenance is costly when A repair comes up. That's the trade off. If your not into the dynamics of driving, just go get your fucking lexus or toyota. Who cares

Kindly compare this to the 2014-2018 K900 and 2010-2016 Panamera in summary and if you could briefly speak on mechanical reliability of the 750li, thank you !!!

The F01/F02 BWM 7 Series is the best looking 7 series by far. What BMW is doing now with the kidney grills doesn't compare.

lol you gonna be flying in this joint😂

Are n63tu engines better in the models 2013-2016

How reliable are they ? What does maintenance cost ?

Seamless, of course.

I just bought a 740 li just waow just waow

Review the AUDI A8L. You have reviewed the other three main competitors si |I'd like o know what you think about the A8L. I have a 2008 and the handling is awesome. It runs great with no isues and I don't hear ratling from it or wind noise. Looking forward to seeing a review of onw from you betwwen the years 2008-2014.

2010 750i xdrive 111k miles for 13k out the door. Not a BMW guy but I love this look. Anyone please help out, yea or nay? Looks like its been very well maintained.

Nice review dude! If you can do an used A8 that'd be sick!

Nice review! If you get a chance, try to review the current gen 5 series (G30) -- I think you will love it.

This biggest issue is their 4.4 engine oil consumption. Number two is their front end. Around $8,000 to fix engine. Around $6,000 to fix front end.

I’m really considering selling my daily now for a f02 750i or a new awd Cadillac I want something quick that’s also good in snow/ dosnt spin out and is very luxurious with the best options available on the market

Great show 👏

Thanks bro

How about the 2013-2015 GS? I was trying to find a luxury model to review. My top car shopping picks are the 2013-2015 GS luxury package, 2019 ES luxury package, 2013- 2017 LS 460/L W/O air suspension.

I don' t think it was a redesign in 2013...perhaps a "re-fresh."

Do you have any reviews of the 2019 or newer 850

Do the rear seats fold down?

Great review . What about the famous engine , is it as bad as people say ? Even if you get the lower miles well taken care off car ??? Thank you ...

is the 2012 good?

What's the maintenance like on this, oil change, brakes etc

I think I’m going to get me one the miles high but fuck

Jesus Christ 😅😅😅😅😅 love your review

I have a 2001 cobra I want a fast four door now Im stuck between A8 or 750li 2013 or 2014

I prefer lexus for reliability but damn lexus are super expensive, a 2014 gs350 cost about 20k and its not even the flagship kinda pushes you towards the bmws and mercs for a better price but when they break on you thats the problem

hey man. how do you like it? im looking into 2014 a8 or 2014 7 series. cant afford s class. im gonna have it daily driven

Hey can you do a review on a 2015 Infiniti Q50 s awd with 100,000 miles please

When are you going to review the G90 or LS 500?

Nice car / vid

Can you review the E65/E66 too please?

Review the A8

F02 the best.

Hey, im thinking about buying a 120000 km 2012 bmw 750I with the v8, what do you think? should i go for it? the owner is a mechanic and maintains oil changes at every 6000km, all the work needed to be done to it has been completed. Would you recommend it?

All I’ve been hearing about in the 5.-750 series is loads of oil consumption with those V-8’s they stuff the turbo top part of the V resulting in too much heat...burning/drying out seals....wouldn’t get unless the dealer was offering a good warranty...sounding more like a sales pitch than a review...as I am thinking you would’ve done you homework on these cars and already know of the problems

Scotty Kilmer disapproves this car!

I'd rather get an LS knowing that a used 7 series is going to be a money pit. Nothing is more expensive than a cheap BMW

You missed the point. Did you happen to look up the service history? People put thousands of dollars in these machines with the N63 twin turbo engine. If you don’t have an active warranty, you can really get screwed! The next time you test a used car, pull the service history on it. It may have just had 10k in repairs on it last month!😎

I love the BMW 750 but I would never purchase one, I would go Lexus luxury and reliability you can't beat that.

When are you gonna transform into Demuro Geese? Do new car dealers frown when you ask to review cars?

What railroad bumps wtf LOL

Last year I was this close to buying the '12 750Li M-Sport of someone that said it was in great condition... The moment I saw it, didn't looked like the pictures as I could see some cosmetic flaws..... But what really turned me off and ran the other way "quicker than an Al Bundy", was the moment he turned the car on and withing a minute I could see that famous 'BLUE SMOKE' coming out of the exhausts! Blue smoke of death, meaning all the valves seals were blown as this would be a $1,300 - $2,000 job! Hell mothaphk'n NO! No wonder the owner was having trouble selling it, even when he got desperate and offer it to sell it to me for $7,000 cash I still said "Hell Nah".... You basically can't do work on your own on these 7 series do to having little to no space to work on them. Turbos inside the damn engine is a failure right from the start! Stay away from any 7 series, not worth it even used.... the F10 5 series M-Sport models are the perfect BMW as these are soo manly looking and always turn heads! Oh and easy to do work on them saving you a sheet load of cash along the way! Ran straight to a gorgeous 535i M-Sport Carbon Black Metallic (2 colors i 1) all Black on Black with very low miles and all I had to do was just some minor upgrades and all its maintenance that need to be done.... Never looked back! The 5 series is BMW's most reliable sedan they ever make!

No wood steering wheel? Not a Luxury car!

BMW 750li trash so many problems

U get regular schedule maintenance when it's supposed to be u get a more reliable car

To say the 7 series is more solid than the S Class is crazy😂😂

I think I’m going to get me one the miles high but fuck
