    2014 BMW 750iX Drive: Pre-Purchase Watchouts?

    Hello,

    Considering the purchase of a pre-owned 2014 BMW 750i X Drive, from a non-BMW dealership (no warranty). 65K miles. For those who own this year/model, how is the reliability in general? Any major known repair issues or bugs to watch out for or to expect? BMW-familiar but just not with the 7-series. Would like to go in with eyes open on this one.

    Thanks to all for any input!

    Ross

    Hi Ross and welcome to the forum! Other members who have experience with the 7 series will likely chime in; but I would highly recommend getting a full PPI report from an independent BMW mechanic - this report should give you a clear indication as to whether this car is worth it or not. Lastly, I would also suggest seeing if a warranty is available through BMW NA for the car. Just my 2 cents, best of luck!

    If it has the twin turbo v8 it's the oil leak at the bottom of the v of the engine, the turbo oil return plate leaks so you have to remove everything thing to get to it. Alwalys have a pre purchase inspection done

    A/C Compressor - known problem, leaks. I had to have my compressor replaced at 22K miles.
