Bmw 750 problems

bmw logo

The BMW 7 Series is a full-size luxury sedan manufactured and marketed by the German automaker BMW since 1977. It is the successor to the BMW E3 "New Six" sedan and is now in its seventh generation.

The 7 Series is BMW's flagship car and is only available in a sedan bodystyle (including long wheelbase and limousine models). It traditionally introduces technologies and exterior design themes before other models in BMW's lineup.

The first generation of the 7 Series was powered by straight-6 petrol engines, and following generations have been powered by inline-4, straight-6, V8 and V12 engines with both natural aspiration and turbocharging. Since 1995, diesel engines have been optional in the 7 Series.

Unlike the 3 Series and 5 Series sedans, BMW does not offer a full M model, but once offered an M performance variant, the BMW M760 with its 6.6L V12 (at the time the most powerful BMW ever made, not to be confused with BMW 760 6.6 V12 which does not offer the same performance). The Alpina B7 (G12) served as the high-performance variant of the 7 Series.

Common Bmw 750 problems

The BMW 750 is a luxurious and powerful car, but like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems that owners have reported over the years. After analyzing the search results, I have identified several issues that BMW 750 owners should be aware of.

  • Door Handle Issues: Owners of various BMW models, including the BMW X5, have reported problems with the door handles, particularly the outer door handles on both the driver and passenger sides. When this issue occurs, the handles still lift as expected, but nothing happens, making it more than just an annoyance. This problem requires replacing the entire door opening and locking mechanism, which is located within the door itself.
  • Faulty Electronics: BMW cars, including the 750, have been reported to have faulty electronics, with issues ranging from faulty electric windows that won't shut to more severe electronic faults that led to the recall of over 300,000 vehicles in the UK in 2018. These electronic faults can be a significant concern, as they can lead to severe issues and even be linked to fatal accidents.
  • Fuel Pump Issues: Some popular BMW models have reported issues with the high-pressure fuel pump, which can cause poor acceleration, engine stuttering at high speed, or even a failure of the engine to turn over at all. This issue can be costly to fix, especially if the car is out of warranty.
  • Corrosion of Alloy Wheels: The BMW branded alloys, which are one of the most stylish aspects of any BMW car, are prone to corrosion. This issue can be a significant concern for BMW owners, as it not only affects the appearance of the car but can also lead to more severe mechanical problems.
  • Ignition Coil Failure: BMWs, including the 750, have been reported to suffer from ignition coil failure, which can lead to engine misfires and reduced performance. This issue can be caught during scheduled maintenance, but neglecting it can result in costly repairs and unintended consequences on other systems.
  • Coolant System Issues: The coolant system is a critical component of any car, and BMWs, including the 750, have been reported to have issues with their coolant systems. These issues can lead to overheating and engine damage if not addressed promptly.

In summary, the BMW 750 is a powerful and luxurious car, but like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems. Owners should be aware of potential issues with the oil filter housing gasket, door handles, electronics, fuel pump, alloy wheels, ignition coils, and coolant system. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to any issues can help ensure the longevity and reliability of the BMW 750.
