    Help deciding between 2010-2011 750li or 2012-2013 535i

    So right now i have an 07 328i e90 had an 04 e60 before this, but looking to upgrade to either a 2010 or 11 750li or 2012 or 13 535i. I personally like the 7 better but have heard bad things about it. So really what im asking is how much more would it really be to own the 7 than the 5 maintenance wise roughly from your experiences is it really as bad as people make it seem

    How many miles are on the 5 and 7 series that you're looking at? That makes a big difference. The 5 series' motor, the N55, is quite reliable and a big improvement over it's predecessor. Make sure to get a full, proper PPI report done by an independent BMW mechanic as well.

    Anywhere between 70k and 100k depending on whats out there Im gonna try to get the least miles as possible. The thing is ill most likely be buying off a private seller so there might not be warrenty on it

    The 535 will be fairly more reliable and reasonably cheaper to maintain.
