The fifth generation of the BMW 7 Series consists of the BMW F01 (sedan version) and BMW F02 (long-wheelbase sedan version) full-size luxury sedans. The F01/F02 generation was produced by BMW from 2008 to 2015 and is often collectively referred to as the F01.

The F01 was the first BMW vehicle to be available with a hybrid drivetrain, an 8-speed automatic transmission and a turbocharged V12 engine. It was the second 7 Series to be available with a turbocharged petrol engine (the first being the European E23 745i), and all-wheel drive (xDrive). The wheelbase was increased by 8 cm over the outgoing 7 Series. Other model codes used for this generation were F03 for the "High Security 7 Series" armoured car and F04 for the "ActiveHybrid 7" hybrid-electric model.

In July 2015, the BMW 7 Series (G11) began production as the successor to the F01.

Common Bmw 740lxi problems

The BMW 740Lxi is a luxury sedan that has been known for its high-performance capabilities and advanced features. However, like any other vehicle, it is not immune to certain problems and recalls. Based on the search results, we can identify some common problems with the BMW 740Lxi based on complaints from owners.

Firstly, there have been issues with the exterior lighting of the BMW 740Lxi. The vehicle may have received incorrect replacement left rear taillight assemblies, which fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Vehicles with the incorrect left rear lamp assemblies may be less conspicuous to other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

Secondly, there have been concerns regarding the engine and engine cooling system of the BMW 740Lxi. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) may have been programmed with incompatible software during a service visit, possibly causing the engine to stall. This issue affects certain 2013-2015 BMW 760Li vehicles, and all affected vehicles have been repaired by programming the ECU with the correct software.

Additionally, the BMW 740Lxi may have had incorrect engine oil cooler lines installed, causing an oil leak in the engine compartment. If oil leaks onto the front brake discs, a greater distance may be needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Lastly, there have been issues with the airbags of the BMW 740Lxi. The air bag control module may randomly reset due to an electrical short circuit as a result, which may cause the airbags to deploy unexpectedly or not deploy at all in the event of a crash.

It is important to note that these issues have been identified through recalls and complaints from owners, and BMW has taken steps to address these problems. Owners of affected vehicles have been notified, and dealers will inspect and repair the vehicles free of charge. If you own a BMW 740Lxi, it is recommended to stay up-to-date with recalls and maintenance schedules to ensure the safety and reliability of your vehicle.
