$29k 2014 BMW 750Li X Drive M Sport Review | How Reliable Was it Over 3 years & 50k miles?
ฝัง

- Hi all and thank you for watching my content. Today we review this 2014 BMW 750Li X Drive M Sport. We bought this 2014 BMW 750Li in 2017 with about 65k miles and a one-owner vehicle. At the time of purchase, this 2014 BMW 750Li needed new brakes. So I spent around $2k to get BMW genuine rotors and pads and negotiated to have the dealership install them. Other than that, the 2014 BMW 750Li X Drive M Sport was recently serviced so it had an oil change of 5W-30 synthetic, and it had new run-flat tires installed at the time.
I knew the first time I drove this 2014 BMW 750Li X Drive M Sport I knew it was something special. The BMW 750Li features an N63 twin-turbo V8 making 480 pounds of torque and 445 horsepower. The 2014 BMW 750Li really runs great, sure it's fast, but the feeling from the hydraulic steering column, the brakes feel perfect for the power and weight, and the suspension can handle it all in with ease. I was so taken aback by the combination of luxury, driving feel, and performance that the BMW 750Li offered. Thus, I pulled the trigger and I thought it was a hell of a deal.
Think about it, the 2014 BMW 750Li X Drive M Sport in this spec costs $119,500 new. And at just three years old and 65 miles in 2017, it had depreciated to $30k! That is insane in my opinion and yeah I thought it was a ton of value for what turned out to be a great 2014 BMW 750Li. Maybe I got a good deal, it had been on the lot and had been priced from $35k and then down from there. Even if it was $35k or $40k, that's still a ton of depreciation off the sticker. And now three years later on this 2014 BMW 750Li, I'm questing if I just got lucky, or if the 2014 BMW 750Li is just a well-made year to get the car.
You see I've heard a lot of people complain about the BMW line, especially the 7 series from 2013 and before that. But maybe, BMW worked out many of their issues, and it's safer to buy a 2014 to 2017 BMW 750Li? Well, today we did our best to review the 2014 BMW 750Li X Drive M Sport. We just love this vehicle overall and it's such a great highway cruiser.
This 2014 BMW 750Li review features a car with 19-inch light M Sport wheels, metallic black on full black Merino leather, Harmon Kardon sound system, heads up display, technology package, and more. One highlight of the 2014 BMW 750Li is the fact that you get all that great power from the N63 engine, but you also get decent fuel economy at an average of 20 MPG. On the highway, the 2014 BMW 750Li will get 25 miles a gallon. The 750Li just feels so good on the highway, easy to navigate, cuts the wind well, and yeah it has all the power you need.
I hope you all learn something from this 2014 BMW 750Li X Drive M Sport review. We do our best to show you vehicles we review and really help you get a POV perspective from start to finish. At the end of the day, over 3 years and 50k miles, and I'm still debating selling this vehicle. However, if you are interested, we may be able to work something out on our 2014 BMW 750Li X Drive M Sport.
Thanks again everyone for watching and for your support of the channel. It means the world to me and I hope to continue to bring you the best car content possible. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

I love this car I got mines 2014 750Li and it's just been a beautiful purchase and definitely a beast although I baby it but when I get down on it there's no question who the boss is!
Thank you I have a 2007 and looking to get a 2014 thank you for the information I really appreciate it
Really great video man. Very professional. Not tiring. Easy to watch. My first video from you. Very enjoyable. I had a 2012 750Li xdrive. My favorite car I ever had and that says a lot. I had Bentley continental flying spur. Terrrrrrrible car btw. The 750: kept burning out the fuel injectors, cracking rims weekly. That's about it. A dream car. Thanks again.
Really appreciate taking the time to make a comment. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on future videos. You may also like the M6 video recently posted.
@@Driven-Productions my pleasure. I liked and subscribed too. I'm a sucker for big bmws. All my best, Sir.
I got a 2014 Xdrive Li with only 17K miles on it for just under 34k a few months before this video was produced. It still smelled like a new car! Immaculate condition. I had a 2015 i model previous to this Li. It was shorter and felt a little more nimble. Definitely a very smart buy.
I traded in my 2016 S8 for the 750Li (I really wanted the 750i) but the Li was a deal I couldn't pass up! The S8, although lightning quick, did not feel very sturdy whatsoever, esp at high speeds. The difference is night and day!
Nice Vid. I own the 750i m package, bought it used in 2017 for $40k and 35k miles. My two cents: heck of a car. Keep the spark plugs changed. I didn't get my changed in timely manner and had to replace the spark plugs and coils. If your door handles (yes the handles) are not responding like they should, GET THEM FIXED!!! My passenger handle was not responding to the key fob and one cold winter morning the car was giving crazy error messages and it was because the handle (YES THE HANDLE) sensor had gone out and in turn my power steering went out, abs error message, chassis error message etc. Crazy! Wear and tear was not bad considering 7years old and 75k miles. Rear air compressor had to be replaced, spark plug coils had to be replaced, fuel injectors had to be replaced and handle (YES THE HANDLE!) had to be replaced. Not bad for a $100k MSRP Ultimate Driving Machine!
Yeah I think you did well. We did change the spark plugs at 100k service as was recommended. Also did the air filters, cabin air filter, and oil. We wanted to do the trans fluid but was dirty and the mechanic recommended keeping the fluid as is.
This is extremely helpful
Been thinking of getting one thank you for the help
My pleasure. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
I bought mine 3 months ago with 51k miles on it. It is, indeed, a special car! All the enthusiasm you have expressed in this vid is echoed with this car! I have owned 4 911 Porsches and 2 lesser BMWs, NONE of these autos can measure up to this car’s all out “ ultimate driving machine” power and grace!
Really appreciate you sharing!
I agree! I had a Ferrari California, which was fun to drive, but I still preferred the feel of the 750i over it.
Hey how are you doing my car is it’s 2013 750 M did you ever get a limp mode era
@@gavinsigno I’m doing great, thank you. My 750 now has 61k miles on it with NO hiccups. Runs like the day I got it. It is as perfect a car you buy. I have not had a limp mode error come up ( thank goodness). I check my oil levels every week.
I had an opportunity buy a similar car today and snapped it up as a replacement daily driver. A one-owner 2014 with 40,400 miles on it with an original sticker price of $143,900. I got it for $33,200. It's extraordinarily clean and only has a couple of small paint chips on the front bumper. Has new brakes and a new set of tires. Artic White with a brown interior.
Nice smart move
Thx for the video ! Going to buy a 2012Li black on black you convinced me
Sounds good. Do a PPI and recommend a private shop with a lift and software.
@@Driven-Productions Did the check up and bought it everything was ok , Thx again for your video !
@@bernybuongiorno4573 awesome! Be sure to let her warm up, change that oil, run good premium gas and run the car out from time to time. She will do right by ya!
I’m considering getting myself one. I found a 2014 750i with 40k miles at roughly 28k thanks for the review
My pleasure hope it helped you make a more informed decision. Please subscribe have a McLaren 720S and Model S Plaid review coming in July.
Learned a couple things here. Thanks for this I just bought one of these yesterday. Looks brand new. 32,000 miles, no accidents. Dealer had changed brakes and put brand new Pirelli zero's on the rims. I paid $32,500. I feel like it is such a bargain and so much more car than what you'd get for twice the money today
Appreciate you sharing!
Is DAMN well better then 100k plus in GOOD mileage
You paid a dollar per mile huh ? With a $500 deposit… good job
30k?? these are 10k cars
@@mrbloody562that comment is from 3-4 years ago
Love my 2015 750Li- - bought in 2018 for around $48k w/ 34,600 miles - - 1 owner, spotless both in AND out, not a scratch (seriously) Had a 740iL (2001, bought in 2002 and had it 17yrs with original Transmission at 208k miles - - ran like a champ AND spot less - - LOVED that body style the MOST! Just didn't need it 'sitting in my garage' anymore so sold it ($4400) (had all the papers on it too) Great review!
Thank you. Appreciate you sharing! Please subscribe working on some fun new content
Watched this the other day and you are so spot on. Last summer I purchased a 2016 750 with the M sport packed with 36k miles - after taxes I got it fully insured for 5 years or 100k miles for $40k. Having owned a 5 series, an E class and a Range Rover that 750 puts them all to shame. The attention to detail, the driving experience and the luxury are in a league all their own and doubly so at that price. You are so spot on when you talked about putting it in sport "what more do you need." It's such a boss ride. Would be curious if you sold yours for $20k at 100k miles.
I wholesaled it for $18,500 with just under $110k miles. Dealer sold it less than a month for $21k
I really appreciate the 750 review. I'm looking at buying one with 77K miles, well maintained, with the M package ( although they don't make an actual M series for this model ). It seems to have all the bells and whistle. I'm in real estate so this car with rack up some miles. I do take very good care of my cars so I'm expecting to run this up to 200 K miles. I will be getting an aftermarket warranty
Change the oil, plugs, air filters, and fuel cleaners from time to time, and be sure to blow out the carbon from time to time. She will run well for ya. I would do a PPI though and make sure its not blowing white smoke on startup.
LOOOOOOOVE MINE!
Beautiful car! Nice to hear you haven't had any big problems with it, contrary to almost every other TH-camr says about the BMW N63-derived V8s. Makes me tempted to try my luck with one. I do wonder if the oil consumption could be a sign of oil sneaking past the valve stem seals which were notorious for going bad/hardening in the N63 due to heat.
I’m sure some of that is happening. But so far it’s not causing an issue.
Glad someone younger talking about a used 7 series
Appreciate the comment
I rolled that dice too and bought a 2012 740i F01 ((3L twin turbo) with 60,000 miles on the clock in mint condition that drove like a dream. I’ve driven it 20,000 miles and given it 3 services. Recently the transmission was slipping a bit so I took it to a BMW dealership to diagnose the problem. Whilst they were test driving the car, the engine seized and spun multiple rod bearings without any warning whatsoever!
And what happened next?
BMW said it’s not their problem. So, now we need to rebuild the engine.
@@peterstagg5493 wow. did the rebuild workout for you?
N54 are notorious for oil leaks. Even at low mileage. Probably your issue. Maintenance heavy cars
Thanks for the informative video! I'm currently scoping out a 2012 750I (sans the M package). I will more than likely be picking it up. I've never been more impressed by a vehicle with 77,000 miles! *Unfortunately*, this will be a FINE replacement for my 2018 Mercedes Benz AMG/T63 wagon, which just found a new home yesterday. :/ Cheers! I'll be following ...
Sounds great appreciate the sub!
how is that 2012 7 series treating you, thinking to buy one same year
I have this exact car. He's 100% accurate with the oil. I put a quart in every 6-8 weeks. Ok, here's what you don't want to hear if you're thinking about one. I had to get a new front axle ($1700) and differential ($2700) So, I am not getting rid of this car anytime soon. Overall in nearly 3 years of ownership, I've spent over $9000 on it. It has 118000 miles on it.
Appreciate you sharing and watching.
Nice video
Appreciate you saying so. I was not expecting this 2014 BMW 750Li to be such a stress free car to own, but this has just been my experience.
My dad has 166,000 miles on his 2013 750li and running strong
Appreciate you sharing 🙌
This video is highly recommended to young ambitious aspiring salesmen.
😂
I just bought the exact same car, got it for cheap. As I expected the engine was dead. Ordered a brand new N63 engine from BMW and got it install by a BMW performance shop. The story from the specialist is that these cars were sold with a defective engine originally but BMW fixed the issue. Picking it up in a week so let’s see how it goes.
All the best, good gas, services and actually drive it she will do ya well
@@Driven-Productions thank you, i figured it would be a good buy since it’s a brand new engine with warranty.
Hey, I have a 2011 750li xdrive, and that burns oil and is misdiagnosed and has a rear main, but it's not. I have a picture showing that when the turbo return line leaves, it goes down the head towards the firewall leaking through the oil galley drain hole. They made a new gasket that had an o-ring around the hole fixing the oil consumption. 7:22
Great video. I just got a 2015. Absolutely love this car and you’re right about the depreciation, a steal if you get a good used one. I appreciate this feedback. My Wife drove it and immediately fell for it in the first 8 miles she drove. Can you tell me if the power button on the radio lights up at night? Thanks.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for sharing. Not sure on the power button though.
No, sadly - - it does not (funny, that was one of my very 1st questions when I bought my 2015 in 2018 (only 34,600 miles on it - and now today, years later only 45,600, cuz I have a company car, so I keep the miles off my BM'r)
@@luvthepie I installed black kidney grills on mine and a set on 20” offsets wheels similar to the Alpinas. Absolutely beautiful. The black grills makes it look relevant to the later years.
i have 2009 750 i x drive and it drives so beautifull it has 62 thousand miles
Thank you for sharing 🙌
Well you can see I’m in mine I love it every time I drive I know I have the most beautiful car on the road 2013
Only issue I’ve seen with the BMW 4.4 are constant limp mode and misfire issues. Real performers though when they are working right
Which bmw engine do you think will match 2014 bmw 7series 750li
Great video! Glad to hear it was not a nightmare to own - I wonder if the similar year XJ/S Class/S8 would be the same in that way.
Appreciate you watching and commenting. I have had an 2013 A8 (not an S) and it was rock solid for the 2 years we had it. That was a great car, interior was so good.
You prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Milan Jamari Instablaster ;)
@Ruben Camdyn i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Ruben Camdyn It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
I want a nice car, you know what i think im gonna roll the dice also. Thanks for the info
Get one with good service history and a driver who ran it out from time to time. That dog will hunt
Get a blue tooth OBD2 scanner with the Bimmercode App. You can do alot of simple programing yourself. I programed my key fob button to close the trunk back as well as the button inside also🙌
Thats a good idea 🙌
After 2012 it's facelift or pimped. But this one is F02, a bit longer wheelbase. Got one F01 with a bit smaller wheelbase but still being 6'4 i can fit in the front and back, got nightvision which is awesome.
Yep it’s the L version. I suggest this one if you got kid seats or adults in the back often. Can’t beat the space and it actually looks a bit better in my opinion.
Yo Kevin how reliable is your 750? Just asking for research
You can add car play to it unlock it threw a software
Great video with plenty of valuable info. There is a 2011 750 Li on sale here locally with 75k miles. Does all this info apply to this earlier model? Thanks.
Older ones I believe do have more issues. Check the service records you can find, and be sure to do a PPI at BMW.
@@Driven-Productions ok good to know. I may just steer clear then. I may not get it and wait for more reliable models. Thanks for response.
Great video. I’m thinking about getting a 2014 740li. Would you recommend purchasing an extended warranty?
Depends on the costs of the warranty. Probably best to find a great local mechanic, and get a vehcile that has been regularly serviced. Also low miles does not mean it’s a safe bet. These cars are meant to be driven, got to blow the carbon out.
Only if it was a facelift DON’T go for the old one
I just purchased the same vehicle 2010 with 120,000 miles, same body style except some details in the interior. Everyone complains about Bmw and more the 750, even there are videos saying is the worst engine. I really love how drives, the power, confortable, elegant & sporty. I’m agreed about the engine, they are designed to burn oil ! Mine is leaking little bit when I put in the max level and smoke, but if I keep the right level in the middle. I don’t have any leaking and smoke. The previous owner let it go so cheap for $7,800. I believe he took it to the bmw and to fix the leaking and catalytic converter was too expensive ! And he decided to just sell it. Dealers always scare people with their prices !!! I paid 8k expecting invest around 1000-1500. I have same problem with the AC and it needs to be charged. Not big deal !.... I have just a headache trying to play music because the Bluetooth is connected but I can’t find the way to active the audio. I saw all videos about it but mine doesn’t allow me to do it.
Thank you for sharing! Enjoy the new ride if it holds up for $10k you got a sweet ride.
Still have it?
I heard my Friend has one he said there are so many other features you can get unlock threw the dealer
I have a 08 Lexus LS 460 and I'm looking to add a 2013 to 2015 BMW 750li M-Sport 2013 is when they redid alot the issues the previous engine had 👍have u changed out the transmission or rear differential fluid ? First thing thing I will do when I get it like I did when I got my LS 460
We went to change the trans fluid at 100k miles, but it was dirty and had gone a long time from last service, and that can cause issues when changed. So we just let it ride, making sure it was at the level it needs to be.
I have been looking for this video. I've owned numerous Cadillacs.....I'm not hearing anything different from owning one of those.
I have 2014 750li with 30k on it. It’s an amazing driver and looks beautiful!
Only 30k miles that’s low for a 2014 sounds nice
@@Driven-Productions yep. Had the car for 2.5 years now. Got it when it had 21k on it and bought it from this older gentleman that was unable to drive it due to health issues. Paid 25 + taxes.. steal at the time. It’s my baby and sits in garage lol
@@danielmarjanovic9957 that's a great deal and price
the dynamic cruise control was an option. LED headlights were an option. 20" wheels were an upgrade.
Appreciate you adding to the community.
Im lookin at one with 80k miles. Im going to test drive a few time before i buy
I bought a 2013 bmw 750i with M-Sport package about almost a year in having it and i love it i got it with 76k miles on it for 17k they were trying to charge more but there was alot of cosmetics defects so they went down only thing is i had to change the spark plugs and high pressure pump because spark plugs were very old and torn . Other than those two its been running really good i use to daily it for work about 35 miles there and 35 back and it runs good thank god im 10min away from work. Imo its worth it. Great car you will have fun.
Great value! Until it breaks or you try to sell it....I got one for $50K when it was 3 years old (several years ago) - used it for 3 years and I was able to sell for only $15K. Nothing but issues during ownership. They had to replace both turbos (thank god under warranty) and the dealers invoice was $7,500. I would never own an 8 cylinder BMW without a warranty,
Thanks for sharing for others. What year was yours? Any idea’s why you had issues? Ours was bullet proof but took care of it and drove it often, sometimes hard to blow the carbon out.
@@Driven-Productions It was a 2012. I bought it in 2015 as CPO with only 12,000 miles on it. It drove fine for 2 years, however I was at the bmw service every other week with so many different issues towards the end so I ended up trading it in before the warranty expired. I only drove it to work and back and never abused it. I still miss that car but if I ever get one again, it would be a lease...
Does it have the ambient lighting? is it cool at night? do you like it?
It had lights but its not like the newer cars where you can change the colors and all that. Personally like purple 😂 but this car is just normal interior lights in the normal spots.
I seen one for 15,000 and I'm very nervous still.i've between now and next Friday to make decision.Any advice from the folks here?
ton of car for $15k. Research BMW PPI Inspection Near Me and find a good local shop or schedule with BMW. Have them put it on a lift, and take a good look at the car, check the suspension, brakes, oil leaks around engine and other common sense stuff. And, ask to see the car cold start, if it blows white smoke and it seems excessive till it warms the VANOS system may go out at some point soon.
N63TU 2014+ was greatly improved. However, as the car ages and mileage goes up so will the repairs.
Alpina B7 is the closest to an M7.
Thanks for the comment
@@Driven-Productions I saw a piece of the old comment. It’s very hit or miss with these cars. Typically there is 2 brick walls I see. 10 years or 150k miles and mortality kicks in on these things. However it is impressive the car is holding up that well. That is very good. I’ve owned BMWs all my life so I know a lot about them.
@@iAlwaysSpeakTheTruth yeah my M6 was bullet proof as well for a year and a half. I think you have to put good gas, regular oil changes and services, and actually drive them to blow the carbon out.
Nice review, I have 2015 750i M Sport same color as yours and I was wondering have you ever walked up to the car at night or in the daytime and noticed your headlights on before you even unlocked the doors? And also have you had the hoses replaced under the hood near the turbos? Mine are original but have cracked and I got tape on them for now and yours seem like they are rubber.
I have not replaced them yet. Have not noticed any issues yet, but maybe I should look.
I have had to add oil to my car and also coolant in between oil changes but I agree with everything u said about the great value of the vehicle and performance that it offers
@@mrozonelayer last of a great breed of ice daily drivers. Not to be produced again...
I heard that the control arms go bad fast because of the breaking is so good so that'll be my next project but for now I keep it in the garage because Chicago is too much traffic and too much snow
Thanks a lot for the reply
I can't make out what you said about the cruise control. It does or does not stay on if you're approaching a car in your lane? I prefer to handle that myself, or hold the cruise down so it slows down.
This car did not have radar speed adjusting cruise control.
@@Driven-Productions Oh, ok, thanks.
Just purchased 2 weeks ago 2014 750LI very happy with it, 22k feel it was a great price, today i got message on the Dash Need to add 2 quarts oil, also says service needed since December 2020,
How often do you service the BMW 750LI ? Its my first BMW.
Add the oil that’s easy. Service is 10k miles, but not a bad idea to do it more often, or at least annually. Use recommended synthetic 5W-30
I have a 550i (same engine), add the oil. You can do oil changes yourself with some ramps and most simple tools found in auto part stores. When you do...flush it with LiquiMolly and soon after use LM 5w40 from there on every 5k miles. Your valve stem seals will thank you.
Hey boss awesome video! I’m in the market for a 2014 750li right now and the only one in my area is 130k miles. Looks mint condition. I only plan to have the car for 3-4 years. I’m an average driver 15k a year so I expect to drive it up to around 200k miles. Is this the kind of car/engine that will be troublesome in that mileage?
I think thats our car, I know we had a good trade in recently. Looks similar to this one as well. Direct Auto of TN? Its a good car service regularly and she will run strong to 200k
@@Driven-Productions no sir this is private buyer in tampa FL but thank you!
@@drpimpen well we have one coming online soon my man. All the best though
Hey brother, did you get the car? I’m looking at one right now. Are you having any issues with yours? The one I’m looking at has 122k on it. Kinda nervous due to the stuff I hear about the 750. I was told to get the 740 instead because it had a 6 cylinder twin turbo and that motor, while less powerful, is far more reliable.
Thanks for the great review. To say that the guy from Hoovies Garage and his trusty mechanic “The Car Wizard” DO NOT share your enthusiasm would be the understatement of all time. This is a DEPARTURE from just about any review I’ve watched regarding the reliability and performance of an out of warranty beamer, not to mention this engine. Thanks for giving us a different perspective.
Appreciate the comment Ken. Got an M6 Gran Coupe with 62k miles dropping soon. We’ll see what I think but its another great buy.
I bought a 2012... 6 months later it gave me problems.. BMW was charging me $23,078 in repairs... Technician ran it without oil... Car was never the same.. File a lawsuit against BMW.... I sold the car... Never gave a penny to BMW... It was a bad deal from the start... It was a nice fast car at the beginning.. I recently bought a 2012 corvette... Beautiful car with lots of muscle... I miss the BMW..
The 2012 is known to have more issues. Really the 2014 is the sweet spot but it can also be case my case. It’s very important oil levels are maintained and good service records are available. Similar to any high performance car. Make no mistake while these make great everyday daily cars, they do have a 4.4 liter high compression twin-turbo V8 engine. Regular syn oil, spark plugs, filters, coils, belts, etc will be necessary to maintain them.
@@Driven-Productions thanks for the advice.. I really enjoyed it at first.. I always drove normal & a few times I tested it's capacity.. I was impressed with how fast this car picked up.. For its size it was really fast... Too bad it gave me problems... Would I buy another..? I think I would but a newer model...
2009-2012 had the terrible n63, 2013 and up has the n63tu engine those are a lot safer.
So how would feel about this same car now for roughly 24k with 60k on it and getting the warranty from the dealer?
Sounds good to me. A lot of car for the money
There's also the BMW 760i and the ALPINA B7. Those are closer to a 7 series M car, if that existed.
Yep. A white on red 19 B7 hit one of my FB groups yesterday for $85k and it had like six offers in an hour for higher money than that 😂
@@Driven-Productions I drive a 99 ford focus 1.6 petrol zetec s 16 valve wagon... I don't understand why someone would want to sell a B7 😂
@@tamasdeak1938 because they got bored. I sold my M6 for the same reason 🤷♂️
If you could do another video on the Infotainment and the cameras in the car
Any specific questions I can help answer? I showed the info screen and a few of the navigable settings, it does have a reverse camera, parking sensors front and rear, and a heads up display.
@@Driven-Productions does it have a 360 camera and how good is it the snow ?
@@dts7288 the 2014 does not have a useable 360 camera, just reverse and parking sensors. The 360 technology was not quite ready at that time to my knowledge. In snow it will really depend on your tires, but overall it’s pretty darn good. All wheel drive, plenty of power and it’s a heavy car all help. I think it would be quite good in snow. We don’t get much down here in TN so can’t really test.
What was the cost to to replace all four breaks and rotors?
I got an official BMW kit off EBay I think it was $1.8k for the set. And negotiated to have the dealer install it as part of the deal.
I did all 4 rotors/pads and sensors myself for $450
It's an amazing car. and with great value compared to the Lexus, Audi, Benz equivalents of the era. Looking for a 2014-2015 model for my dad. He's an old time BMW lover and will really enjoy the car. I've read better reviews for the 740 engine but if it's well serviced I could go for a 750 as well. In Europe they still hold a bit higher price. If you want a really well taken care of car with a lot of options you are looking at 28-30k dollars which is still a monstrous devaluation for a 5 yo car...
Appreciate you sharing that! I did not know that.
Electronic steering rack you have there...
I've paid $22k for my 2009 Lexus LS460 AWD , with 37k miles only in good shape
I had one of those, great comfortable ride, nice clean books, but on the boring side for sure.

Did this have the notoriously unreliable n63?
Hello, i am thinking to buy 7 f01 2014 for long trips Is it possible to sleep in this car? I mean, I really want to travel so I need a car to drive 15hours and maybe sleep a little bit in the car. I was dissapointed when I read that i cant fold the back seats. But I am stil thinking it is the best car for me, offcourse I need the "fridge" option ha-ha
Thank you for any information.
Beyond reclining the front seats, not sure how you could sleep. Sounds like you may be better off with a larger vehicle for road trips like this
@@Driven-Productions Thank you very much for answer... I didnt mean to really sleep whole week in the car. But just if i need to drive 10-20hours to destination, I can take a short sleep... do front seats recline enough ?
Because we have bmw x3 ( fXX) model and my bones hurt if i try to sleep 30minutes in that car..
@@tinekobalofficial they recline sure but I would get a hotel just saying 😂
@@Driven-Productions Does any f01 model brake itself in an emergency? I mean it has so many warnings but doesnr do a lot
@@tinekobalofficial i do not believe it brakes for you.
Is this car reliable? I’m looking to buy this one, 2014. Day to day use, is it reliable?
This car is very reliable because it’s been well maintained and used right by me. Cars that sit often have more problems than cars that have been driven and maintained well. Be mindful you will need to keep up with the oil changes, run good quality fuel, and learn to drive it well. It actually likes some revs from time to time to blow the carbon out.
I’ve got a great local BMW mechanic as well, that is key as he is great and much more affordable than the dealership. Although I did go to the dealership for all the oil changed as they take good care of you, feed you, wash the car, etc. Worth the extra bucks.
@@Driven-Productions I see, so no major issues with the car as long as it has been in use? I’m looking to buy it from my grandfather, it’s in excellent condition, he used it as a vacation car, less than 25k miles on it. I love the car, I’m just worried about it’s reliability, your response helped a lot, thank you!
How about the 760li v12 any own one?
Heard things, but don’t have any experience personally.
does it have alcantera headliner?
That’s a good question, and I can’t recall. I think it did, and so did the M6 we had.
Just remember this
It's always the person that gets the car second hand that ends up paying out big time .
I would like you to tell the viewers how much ball point figure you earn per year if you earn over 100k per year of course you don't mind taking a gamble but these cars cost money 💰 loads of money when they need repair you know stop kidding people.
Why on earth would you want these monster cars on our streets what good are they stuck behind me on the road in 20mph streets ...
Sorry I love the video very good well made and interesting but really so we need these over fast over priced money pits ...
So many people loosing money owning BMWs
Run flat tyres ridiculous price in GB London if you can find one lol
Nice ride comfortable but you pay big time for Evey Mile
Not for me
Appreciate the comment!
You sound like you can't afford one.
is it smooth on comfort plus??? are the seats too hard????
It is very smooth on comfort plus, but still sporty and responsive. BMW nailed it. Smooth on pretty much all settings. The seats are not gushy, they are more in the sport side. But they are comfortable and great for long trips. You can adjust a good bit to really dial it in as well.
@@Driven-Productions Thank you. I've tried the seats on a 2016 750 and they were narrow and not very well padded. Also the design of the car sucks, it lost it's big long hood. But the interior lights are fantastic
@@user-lj5iv7gf9p agree I don’t like the new gen, not even the 3 series.
With a 107000
should i get this for my first car? because i heard owning a bmw is very expensive to maintain, plus the tires is 500$ each wheel like DAM
I would not get this for a first car. I don’t know your goals and needs, but if you want some fun I would start with an older MX-5 Gen 2 or 3. They’re reliable, cheap to fix, fun to drive, and solid fuel economy.
@@Driven-Productions dam, the 2014 bmw mx5 is hot 🥵
@@diecastcarsmodels5496 if you can afford it, go for it
I've got a chance to grab one for low 20z w 52,000 one owner no wreck. Should I hope on it or pass?? This is the 3rd time I've watch this video lol
Go get a PPI at your local BMW dealer or independent shop. Pay good money for one, have then walk you through the report in depth, put on lift, etc if possible. If its clean, go for it!
@@Driven-Productions thanks for the info!
@@kcgunner8378 just keep in mind the car may have some issues, its used. Not a dealbreaker, pick and choose your battles to negotiate. But at least you know.
The rim doesn’t have the M on it
A sample size of one is not very good... Consumer Reports rated this car towards the bottom for reliability. It's not designed to burn oil, it's a poor design
This is true. But I’ve also had issues with my Lexus and Honda so is what it is cars are hit and miss. This one was solid.
is a n63tu?
yes 2013 and up have the n63tu.
BMW has a service bulletin out for the value seals they replace them for free. 10K job for free.
Did not know thats a big deal.
@@Driven-Productions Yeah i know. Apparently its not an actual recall. But a service bulletin(whatever that is). They replace mine about a year ago. And my friends last week. And we know thats a huge job. They had to drop my whole engine. I went up there, they had drop the engine, a frame, tire clip, bumper, I mean everything. For those little bitty seals. But they did it. No problem or smoke since. I smoked really big coming off a red light and i had to put a quart in it ever week. Now, 1 quart about every 2 months. No smoke. Even if I idle for long periods
You show a car dirty on the inside?
It should not be sold more than $15,000 given the available miles on it
Listed for $21,950. It has also sold already.
@@Driven-Productions RIP to however bought it. These cars are incredibly unreliable unless you want to spend thousands of dollars on maintenance. There’s a reason why these cars depreciate rapidly and lose half their value in 2-3 years.
@@user-ji3il6ce2o 2009-2012 have the shitty engine (n63). 2013 plus are reliable with the n63tu. My dad's has 166,000k miles are running strong
@@user-ji3il6ce2o bmws are pretty solid if well serviced
Wait till this car hit 100,000 miles on it 😂
Yeah we sold it with 114k I believe, still no major issues. I don’t know maybe we got lucky.
How credible is this fools word if he’s getting rotors and pads from the dealer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice Vid. I own the 750i m package, bought it used in 2017 for $40k and 35k miles. My two cents: heck of a car. Keep the spark plugs changed. I didn't get my changed in timely manner and had to replace the spark plugs and coils. If your door handles (yes the handles) are not responding like they should, GET THEM FIXED!!! My passenger handle was not responding to the key fob and one cold winter morning the car was giving crazy error messages and it was because the handle (YES THE HANDLE) sensor had gone out and in turn my power steering went out, abs error message, chassis error message etc. Crazy! Wear and tear was not bad considering 7years old and 75k miles. Rear air compressor had to be replaced, spark plug coils had to be replaced, fuel injectors had to be replaced and handle (YES THE HANDLE!) had to be replaced. Not bad for a $100k MSRP Ultimate Driving Machine!
Yeah sounds like fairly normal stuff to me. All cars need some maintenance and upkeep even Toyota’s. Hell my Lexus LS460 at 90k miles needed some major intern service to fix an oil leak. I said nah and sold the car. Just saying even the Toyota’s of the world have problems, and I would rather drive a 750 twin turbo V8 everyday and twice on Sunday’s.
@@Driven-Productions people always think Toyotas are exceptionally reliable. Not always, my friend's Toyota died on the highway and ended costing him 3k for timing chain repair and $400 tune up at the dealer few weeks latet. And yes its a simple camry, 2011 yr. I was literally shocked with 140k!!!
@@nature10879 yep 👍 spot on. Now Honda’s of the 90’s and Early 2000’s where about as good as it gets.
