2017 BMW 740i 40k Mile Owner Review!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- This is my mom's 2017 BMW 740i. It has been a very good car for us other than the unexpected expensive maintenance bill. Hopefully we have many more reliable miles!
You know what I absolutely love is how you said it’s your moms and you did not claim it’s yours there’s a lot of people that wouldn’t do that for their ego that is absolute respect from me I hope it gets handed down to you one day! Beautiful car
Thanks! My mom traded it for a new X5. We liked the 7 series, but she wanted something that’s easier to get in and out of. I will do a video of her new car eventually ;)
Bro is real for that but No one needs or cares for your respect
I have the same car. Oil change 120$ in every 3000 miles at dealer. I didn’t have a single problem with it in 4 years. Very very reliable cars. Oh and the car has almost 60k miles in it. Best car for the price!
I'm glad to hear you are having trouble free miles! I sometimes wish my mom had kept this car :/
We were looking at this car. I read a lot about ppl having issues.
@@RickTv631 never had a single issue with the 740i. 750i has issues that’s correct. Recently change it for the LCI version and no issues as well. Buy a certified one with a clean history! You will love it!
@@Doki740 I always wanted a 7series I liked the one I test drove. I just keep seeing how bad they hold up. Good to get this pov from an owner. I guess if you look harder enough you’ll see both sides lol. I definitely will get the warranty if I get one. I think 2019 for 42k with 36k miles is good.
@@RickTv631 I rather buy a 16-17 if you want this old body. They not depreciate as much as a 19. If you finance a recommend at least a 2020. It’s almost the same but it’s better. You can get a low mileage 2020 around 50k
Finally a review that talks about real world driving!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
This is hands down a beauty of a car!
So glad to hear your mom's 740 has been running problem free. I recently picked up a 17 740 and know the b58 and zf8 are solid but just worry about all the electronics in the 7. Love the car so far. I tuned my car and am now faster than the 750's. Love these cars.
Yeah the in-line 6 is the way to go. At first, I wanted her to get the V8, but after doing research, I realized the B58 is way better.
@@JVette01 yeah dude. I originally wanted the v8 but it seems like a reliability nightmare. The b58 modifies so well too seems like a no brainer.
Yeah I heard some horror stories with the V8, and from what I read, the B58 is the most reliable modern bmw engine
Awesome looking car. When this car first came out, I didn’t really like the look of it. But now with the facelift, I think it looks a lot better than the new one. Definitely do oil changes yourself!! They’re reasonably easy to do because of the filter location. I use FCPEuro for oil changes and they’re fantastic. Also, the B58 is king! Great video!
Thanks for watching! We’ll take good care of it!
Great video! I would love to see a full review of this car plus the ambient lighting at night.
I will work on those! Thanks for watching
I used to own a 2017 740 I X Dr. I did the oil change every 7000 miles did the spark plugs at 55,000 miles They did not have to be done. Did front Brakes also. Bought the car with 20,000 miles on it. only problem i had was the transfer case leaking which is an expensive job and the car was at the shop for two weeks with no parts other than that I had no issues with the car sold the car at 65,000 miles I would recommend getting rear wheel drive
Oh interesting. I’ll always choose RWD over AWD unless the car has AWD standard.
@@JVette01 I should have waited to get what I wanted to probably would have still have the car today
@@punderific444 Always wait for the right car and right deal to pop up!
Why the RWD? I'm in the market and was told to go with the AWD for the stability and especially with the snow.
@@markmanjardi3127 this is a very late reply but I have xDrive and it doesnt provide much help in the snow. Snow tires on a rwd would be better.
Stability is similar bwtween rwd and xdrive.
Man what a beautiful car.
Thanks!
Those things are self DIY for me. Tire ramps, an oil kit from amazon or local store tools specific to that car, High quality oil from walmart (same oil or better than dealer unless u go liqui molly) and am good to go. Practice safety too. Those filters can be bought cheap too. That job should be $100 give or take. The dealers destroy people's wallets even if its a chevy dealer. Euro car dealers are the worst.
My god man! The world can’t be expected to stop because you’re making a video of your mom’s car.
Oh, I thought it should
I have to have an extended warranty for BMWs. And, youtube taught me how to change my own oil. Air filters are $20 for two on ebay and requires 6 screws removed to install.
Yup
Which company did you use for your extended warranty?
@@crissy_21 Car Shield.
I have the same color but mines is a 2018 in the V8. The car runs great and I'm not too concerned about the maintenance because I know a BMW guy. I feel if youre driving a car like that you have the money to take care of minor repairs.
Good point!
Don't ever take your BMW to the dealership since they don't want to extend your warranty don't give them any money for repairs. Find a trustworthy and good independent BMW auto shop near you and the price will be way cheaper then the dealership.
Yeah definitely!
@@JVette01 yeah man these cars are awesome. With BMWs you really won't run into maintenance issues till around 80k miles. You should replace water pump, radiator and thermostat before 85k miles as preventive maintenance. Also the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gaskets will start to leak around those times as well. With those things fixed the car should be good for awhile.
Good to know! Thanks
When it comes down to it most of the maintenance isn't going to be different than any other car. It's easy enough to service yourself if you're so inclined. The costs of those services assumes a customer base that is not price-sensitive.
would like to see how to change the oil?
Wow I want one so bad just afraid of the maintenance
Most reliable N63 of all light boost full refresh.
My experience has been that the 750 is an expensive car to drive. A gasket which costs $100 cost almost $1000 because they had to almost remove the engine to get to it.
The 740 with the B58 I heard is a lot more reliable engine wise.
@@JVette01 I've heard that as well. The 4.4L is a nightmare until 2018-2019. According to my BMW guy, they got most of the stuff figured out by then. Aside from some reliability issues, the 7 series are great machines.
I hope my yours and my moms lasts a long time without too much trouble!
@@JVette01 the b58 is evolving alot in the tuning scene, 340i and the new supra is really popular to push high horsepower and the engine is really sturdy and it is really reliable and tunable
I own a 2014 and it’s fortune to maintain past 60k miles. Figure $3k a year to keep it running.
40,000 miles is not wore out quickly - its pretty good for a heavy car
Bro I can change the oil, filters, suspension, breaks... Wouldn't let them rip me off like that.
We can too, we just thought BMW still had the 4 year, 50000 mile free maintenance.
Nice video. Your mom’s BMW has the driver assistance package, right (the 2 cameras on the windshield)? What do you think of that? Could you do a video of that package?
If we still had the car, but she traded it on a new X5.
Best motor bmw has made inline six
Beautiful car! Thinking of trading in my F30 for a 2019 7 msport
3 year, 36k - what exactly is if that makes BMW loose confidence in their cars? This is the manufactures way of convincing me not to own.
Yeah it’s disappointing
Some company claim less power due to insurance rate, im 24 yo and an x5 base model is about 400 a month, that’s the whole car payment, they know that so they claim less power so the younger people can afford it in not saying bmw did this but Hyundai says the Elantra n is Under 300 because the over 300 stinger is really expensive for the people that buy Hyundais and kias
Good Job... Do more on the BMW 7 Series... Thanks much!!
My mom actually traded it in on a new BMW X5. She’ll be missed but I’ll eventually post something on her new car.
Waiting for the 100,000 miles update.
I wish! Unfortunately we traded this one for an X5
@JVette01 why thou?
She wanted something easier to get in and out of
i have a 2017 750i that just hit 150,000 miles. Even with a warranty this thing is the biggest money pit in the whole entire fucking world. Just had to get rotors, new brake pads, and an oil change, 2200 dollars. Avoid this car like the plague unless youre rich enough to afford it
Any engine issues?@@bigdog7052
The $550 for the oil & filter change does seem like a lot. Wondering how the exact same work on a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry would compare. If work has to be done, it's the comparison that matters.
Probably like $50 lol
I had 2011 Toyota rav 4 . High mileage oil change only Cost me about $60 lol
Now days oil change and air filters for my Toyota tundra was over $200
Whopping $2,183 for glass repair?? INSANE
agreed
Good video been searching around for a 750
With Biden gas ⛽️ prices, you’re better off with a 740
Like the bowers and Wilkins
Me too 👍
I have the same car to
How is the maneuverability of the car in tight spaces?
Piece of cake, I don’t even notice the size
Great video.... any update? As I'm looking to buy a 2017 740i.... Thanks!
We sold it at 40k miles. Not a single problem
Great vid, nice looking BMW!👍👍
Thanks!
Great video, I’m in the market for one of these...super helpful.
I’m glad I could help. Good luck on your purchase!
broooo I just had a look at a bmw 7 series 2019 used with pretty low mileage at the showroom. Don't know if it's worth the buy. Especially when it comes to repairs and maintenance. But I have to say it's one beautiful car.
It’s been great for us... so far, but we’re only at 40k miles
Wait until the Air Suspension goes and the shocks $3,500 repair. Wait until the injectors go, thousands more. Brake replacement. I have pages of oil leak repairs, engine belts, pulley, etc. I baby the car and drive only 7k miles a year. Now in 2021 to 2022 I’m stuck with this maintenance 👨🔧 nightmare 🚙. Expect to get raped by BMW once off warranty. If you’re going to keep it use Liqui Moly Jectron.
@@nycupperes What year>?
Excellent review . Thanks so much !!
Thanks!
Do you recommend the 2016 750li m kit or 740li is more reliable? Because i found one and some people say 740 is better
From what I heard the 40i (b58) are much better reliability wise than the 50i. I know that in our ownership of 40k miles, we had no issues.
Stay away from the 750i had to sell mine they brun oil like crazy
@@rockflock4698 lol I bought one and I sell it right away almost got burned by the fuel pump and the wiring harness all the car from the front to the back got manufacturing problems 🙆🏻♂️
@@rockflock4698 I know this is like 5 months later but has that changed for the newer models? I was wondering about getting a 2019-2020 750i with something like 40-50k miles but I don't want it to be a complete maintenance nightmare.
@@nicholasgowen2947 no stay away from any BMW with 50 in it. Get the 740 unless you have extra money to throw away.
Would've been nice if you could've waited say, an hour or so, to get the night video in so I could see the ambient light at the end. Couldn't find the video.
I posted it already! It’s filmed on my phone so it’s not the greatest but here it is-
m.ua-cam.com/video/9w-Jx5VBUbY/v-deo.html
You in nj? If so there are so many German independent mechanics. The filters aren’t that bad to change and Indy mechanic would charge $100 for that oil change. Is it xdrive ? How is rear seat luxury? What options and or packages do you have ?
I tried to show it in the video, but we had the executive package, park assistance, bowers and Wilkins, mocha Napa leather, etc. We have since sold this vehicle though.
how do you compare this car to the s-class w222 (engine reliability and interior quality)?
I don’t know because I’ve never owned or been in an S class
I hate how u can’t tell the difference between a 740 and 750 m sport packages, they should’ve only kept the 750i with a m sport option, my 2017 750i m sport was amazing! Loved it, sold it and bought a s550, but I’m looking to get another 750i this week, 2018 model, such a bad ass car, and the growl the 750i has is amazing!
Why the 50 and not the 60 🤓
@@mcmugget 50 is more daily usable then a m760, I had a m760 for few months and sold it.
Mines has MSport package
I just got this car. So far I hate the sound of the seatbelt sound, and it never shuts up until I put my seatbelt on… not that don’t put my seatbelt on anyway but geesh. That thing
lol
Hey Curious Question since alot of people and even my own family are talking s*!t about my decision trying to go with the new bmw 2023 7series 740i how many check engines lights have you had? Fyi I’m coming from Lexus household, i’m logical with the fact that they are very different cars but idk ig what would be your opinion on your experience?
We had 0 issues with this car in the time we’ve owned it
What’s not to like.... awesome!!!
Would like to see more about this car. We’re buying the same year/model tomorrow!
We don't have it anymore, but it was great!
@@JVette01 Why? Problems with the vehicle? I’m looking at the same year/color! Please let me know before I make this leap into the car. Thank you!
No problems. My mom wanted an SUV so she got an X5. It was a great car though!
I’m considering the 7 series again lol I had the 2008 one but it had a lot of problems and my bro in law has the 2016 750i xdrive but he was under warranty at the time so it saved him in repairs and that’s what I’m trying avoid looking for one 2016 - 2017 how many miles should I be looking for with up to date maintenance? Somebody told me it’s better to go with the rear wheel drive tho what’s y’all thoughts will appreciate any info as I’m looking for one
Ours was perfect but we only had 4 years and 40k miles
Well done and enjoyable. Thanks
Hey, do you know what is the plastic box (black) on the inside roof of the trunk? I can't figure it out...hope you know what it is? Nice video BTW.
Not sure. Never even noticed it haha. Thanks!
Thats the fridge bro
Getting one soon
I'm thinking about trading on my F02 for this same exact G11, thanks for doing a review on this car
You’re welcome!
Are you planning on selling this possibly? I like the spec
Not right now lol it’s my moms car
I have the exact car and I'm in Arizona as well did you guys get brand new. Is is a msport I have different mirrors.
We got it new yes
Great review. How many miles on the car now?
Not sure because she traded it not long after this video
Tint your windshield so the dashboard leather does not start bubbling bcs of sun heat
We traded the car for a new X5.
Yesssssss that Happen to me
I have the same car and at 35k miles it has been trouble but I still love it
What happened?
@@JVette01 ac suspension misfire and most recently we parked under a tree and ants are now on the car🥲
@@ksuperhero1dam with just 30kmiles and already problems? That’s a. Lemon!
@@ksuperhero1give it to me brother🙏🏽🙏🏽💯
@@mrchasedabag8957 we ended up fighting the dealer and made them buy it back. purchased a new x5 m50 and it’s running great
Please do a full review
I will try to put that together!
Great video, thinking of getting a 750 X Drive!!
Thanks!
I would stay away from any BMW with a V8.
Don't get the 750 trust me
I get 20mpg 🥲 exactly 20... I drive a bit crazy tho 😌 still had no problems at 31k miles.
That’s good to hear!
I get 25 750i v8 msport comfort plus is boss
I'm going to rent one off Turo for a couple of weeks.
It drives really smooth!
😂 bmw be extraaaaaa bro i swear!!
Yup haha
Looks like inspirada and anthem area
Perhaps 🤣
I wonder for the people that can actually afford to buy a car like this do they have a problem paying for that oil change and filter replacement? I think folks that can’t afford these car buy them and start crying about the maintenance.
Anyone can be appalled at an over $1,000 oil change. Doesn’t matter how rich you are
@@JVette01 a $1000 where Dubai
Did you watch the video? The service was over $1,000
Do you still drive this car or sold already ?
Sold :(
$557 for oil change, what??????? I pay $87. Dude, they are ripping you off!!!!
We were unaware it would cost that much.
I'm thinking about buying a 2016. Good video
Glad I could help!
Do she run flats tires
Yes it had run flats
Lovely car she’s a looker… is ambient lighting standard in the 740i
I believe so
Any update on if you’re interested in selling this car?
My mom actually traded it in on a new X5 a few months ago :/
@@JVette01 ohh that’s dope! If you don’t mind me asking, how much trade in credit did they give her?
@@ansrehman2543 If it were my car, I'd tell you, but since it's hers, I respect her privacy.
which dealer do you take the car too? Las Vegas or Henderson?
I believe it was the Las Vegas one where we got the expensive bill.
@@JVette01 I was about to say, I take my 2017 bmw 530i there, I was going to say hope it wasn’t the Henderson location because they screwed up my car, and refuse to fix it
Oh really? What happened?
@@JVette01 they took it to get the tint windows done, and the bent the rim on the inside, not sure if it was a curb they hit or something, they rub the leather on the door panel hard it started to rip, told them to replace it because it was your techs who did to and they said it’s an outside source and it can’t be fixed. Then once the factory warranty was about to expire they had to replace the wireless charging pad on the car, but had to wait for the part, it was like 50,100 miles or so the replaced the pad for free but they ended up breaking the idrive pad, and it’s hella loose. It’s going to costs 2870.73 cents to fix it
Wow, that’s horrible. I’ll tell my mom to NOT go to Henderson if she needs something fixed.
😮Oil + 2 filters!? I'll change those Along with ALL the Brake pads & rotors in my 2016 rogue MYSELF! 🖕 These dealership service shops!
V8 is v8 no comparison there this cars meant to be driven with the powerful 4.4 twin turbo v8 not that baby 6 cylinder but hey to each there own ,
60k miles on my 2019 750i not a single issue not sure about that “horrors” these engines have lol after 2017 they are a lot better ..
Congrats! I felt like the inline 6 suited this car well, but I’m sure the V8 is cool too
LMAO, 2000 dollars for glass repair. In my country, a glass repair is included in the insurance.
Highway robbery
is it really hard to maintain a bmw 7 series....????
I mean, we never had to do any mechanical stuff so I’m not sure.
@@JVette01 is it worthy to buy i used bmw 740ld??
I know nothing about diesels. In the US, diesels are uncommon in passenger cars.
@@JVette01 ok then what about petrol one
People in the US are always weary of buying used BMW’s but my mom had hers for just over 40k and had no problems.
$550 for oil and air/cabin filter change...wow
Yep. It’s silly
You have to be willing to do that yourself. It’s not hard.
@@romeoquincy4413 If that is the case that is even more silly...its not that hard and they charge you $550?
I own BMW 530 x drive and recommended oil change is on 10k miles or 1 year and cost 150$ its very reasonable price for a luxury car!
If any of my BMW’s have under $1k annual maintenance that’s a win! Plan on spending $2k per year after 60k miles on annual maintenance.
So, you own the flagship sedan from BMW and if you worry about a $500 service cost? Buy a Mazda if you can't afford the upkeep of a luxury vehicle. Like seeing a Lambo owner complaining of the fuel cost after buying a V12.
It was my moms. Cabin air filters and an oil change should not cost $500. We would have done it ourselves if we knew it was going to be that expensive.
5:00... Yes. The wireless charging pocket is a joke. Made for phones made in 2005. 🤦🏾♂️
Ikr 😂😂
@@JVette01... Great video by the way. I just got the 2016 750i. I'm late to the game. But I like the car a lot.
@@Frankflexxxx Nice car!
@@JVette01...Thanks. 🙏🏾
@@Frankflexxxx hey how’s the car been since getting it?
His mom landed a great father for child support 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice assumpton.. couldn't be further from the truth haha
You should show off your crib in mom's basement too. How much allowance do you get?
LOL please. Get outta here with that
@@JVette01 lol
I just finance 2017 bmw 740i with 50k ML I own 32k left to the bank did I put my self in the hole or did I do hood need advice feel like I don’t want it now an I just buy it lol
These cars depreciate quick. I say just keep driving it unless it gets super expensive to fix.
You paid 32k? That’s a good price I think
just went thru the same thing
Let's race for pink slips >:)
Impossible because we don’t own the car anymore 😂
You pay way to much for your oil change and filers double
We wouldn't have paid that if we knew it wasn't covered
حرق فلوس
Burning some money
A 240,000 mile Lexus LS will be much more reliable than this bmw at only 40,000
Well I guess it’s the same at 40k because we never had to do anything
Re-reading my comment. Didn’t realize how arrogant and dismissive I sounded. Glad your mom’s car has been so reliable!!!!
Painted fingernails?
Absolutely!!
Does this have massage seats ?
No, we didn’t have that option
Beatifull and performance is the best other than is a relible money pit comes whit some hideen problems here and there its a great investment to go broke whit a minor problem you get big serious issue and it can be yours one day dont miss this fun and great chance to get the cancer you always wanted 🤣
Lol
Dude, 40k on tires of a 4700 pound car ? Go back to your MOMS basement and play with your Xbox
I don’t get your point
Why would you put something up to read for 2 seconds?
To read it?
