BMW 750il
 

I think the 2001 BMW 750il has to be one of the best BMWs of all time. I would love to own one in estoril blue with the full sports package.. only question is ; how reliable would that V12 be and would the mpg be in the 10's. I have been looking around and they are being sold for practically nothing. I was wondering if anyone has had any exprience with a 2000-2001 750il?

Do you mean 760il.....the 750il is a V8..........Phil

No 2001 was the last year they made the 750il V12 along with the 740il V8

You are correct IMOLA....I was just double checking. I was thinking 2002 and was going to suggest you stay away from that year :thumbup: .......Phil

Well im questioning the same thing being that you can now purchase a 2001 750il which new was priced in the 100's now in the 12,000- 16,000 price range

Did that 750il come with the armor package?......Phil

Some of them do it is a hard find.. those are in the 20's still not bad for the car that it is.

The V12 is more maintenance intensive than the V8 7er, perhaps not surprisingly. Bleedingly expensive for parts and maintenance. But great car, best looking 7er ever made.

I personally like the E38 the best, but I'd stick for a 728i or other 6-cyl; they were available with a manual gearbox in Europe. ;)

I'm sure it's a gas guzzler....a nice find would be a 96-97 850ci.....Phil

I had a 2001 740iL. Best driving/riding car I've ever owned. A pure joy to drive. But it was a maintenance nightmare. If I made it through a month without a $1000 repair bill, it was a reason to celebrate. If the 750iL is more maintenance intensive, be prepared to start a maintenance bank account or find yourself a really good warranty program.
