This is copy of my post from other site since I'm too lazy to type again:


Let me share my horror story with my 2009 Individual 750li first:

I bought it cpo last year in April:

First month into ownership, my front ROF tire got damaged from pothole (my own fault). Replacement tire $633.

Second month, I got front camera malfunction, drivetrain malfunction, as well as rear cupholder can't come out. 4 days in the dealership, got things fixed and went on my way.

Month later, engine malfunction again but went away itself, and rough idle continues and 3 days in the dealership, they couldn't find anything wrong since diagnosis shows 'no error'.

I also went in for an alignment, dealer found out front control arm is damaged (?!?) but the alignment is within spec so they won't replace it.

Then my battery died along with leaking rear shocks, 5 days in the dealership got them replaced.

Replaced ROF tires with Michelins Pilot sport, alignment went bad again.

Then last month I found oil leaks! It was from the rear main seal, and dealer kept the car for a week, had to remove the transmission to replace the rear main seal! Car returned home but exhaust fume smells like the engine running rich.

Ohh, a rock just hit my windshield last week and the crack is spreading! Ahh!


It seems like all the f02 problems just happened to my car in a short 11 month ownership and 7000 miles driving! So I got fed up and went to the dealer to buy my new 7 today.

Hopefully a new one won't have any problems

And then on to my new car. Wow! What a difference! It feels tighter, faster and the 8 speed tranny is just worlds better than the old 6 speed! After having a loaded 7, I know exactly what I want this time and they happened to have one ( sucks it doesn't have led lighting package which is the only thing I will miss ).

Alpine White
Black Nappa
Ash Grain Wood
Cold Weather Pkg
-Heated steering wheel / Ski Bag / Heated rear seats
Executive Pkg
-Power side & rear shades / Ventilated front seats / Leather instrument panel / Ceramic controls / HUD / BMW Apps
M Sport
-w/20" 303's
ETC.


So bye bye my 2009 750LI:







And Hello my new 750I!!

 

Baller! Congrats.

 

Nice pick up.

I am curious, if the car gave that many issues and you posted about it what made you get another one? What were the pros to you that clearly outweighed the negatives?

 

The drive, if I can't afford a new one, I still would ride out the old one since it's under warranty.

And now it's new with 0 miles when I got it, so if anything arises, I can just lemon it!

 

Awesome Andy. Any interior shots?

 

awesome, good luck dude!

 

+1, I'm curious to know as well.

 

I haven't done any, it's strange that having a new car is not that exciting anymore.

I almost got a new Individual M5, but the payment is around 2200 a month!

 

Copycat.

But you're missing the rear entertainment...lol.




Congrats...again ....sweet pick up and I agree with you on the 8 speed.

 

Haha thanks

 

Hey thats a good reason! Congrats, I really like the current 7.

 

Congrats!!! I love the 7 in white!

 

Really nice. Need to work on photography though

Love BMW rims!!!

 

Very presidential! I love these cars.

I didn't realize you had so many issues with your old one though.

 

It never left me stranded on the road, just minor issues and no out of pocket expense. But I don't feel like paying 1000+ a month for a car like that.
