Lots of my friends and clients have them, from 06 to 09. Most of them are problem free, except one of my friend just got blown engine on his 06 750i with 70k miles. BMW quoted him 12k to replace the motor, and no private shops willing to take the job. He ended up sold the car for 15k without fixing it.

12K for a motor?

I believe my cousin has a 09 or '10 BMW 750i. No issues with his either, but it has like 15k on it

My buddies father has 3, the 1st one had 100k plus on it so they picked up another one, and then he ended up getting a 3rd, the original one with 100k+ is driven hard and has not had any issues, the 2 new ones the father bought used with like 30k on them for 35k.

My buddies father is awesome at finding great used car buys
