    Your videos are awesome. Best I’ve seen so far. Have helped a lot. Have dealt w rear air suspension, control arms, battery replacement, transmission filter, radiator, coolant issues, cabin air filter, tires, brakes and now dealing w what I think is the need to replace valve cover gasket. You videos have helped w most of these

    Thank you Francisco! I appreciate your time to make videos. Looking at a 2008. Car blows me away as I have never been in a more quiet, secure feeling vehicle. But I'm not getting any younger & I just don't work on cars anymore. All cars need maintenance like humans. Just don't want to sell the farm to maintain it. German's build nice cars. Once more thank you, Mike

    I have experienced the first three problems mentioned. I was amazed that within 1000 miles of buying my 2012 750i I had to add a quart of oil. I researched the oil consumption online and found out that BMW considers it "normal". Now I constatnly check my oil level and have been adding a quart jsut about every 1000 miles.
    Also at 64000 miles I had to have the control arms replaced because the ball joints failed. Prior to 2001 5,6, and 7 series BMWs would experience control arm failure because of poor bushing design. That was solved in the E65/66 series but now its ball joint failure in theF01/F02 series. Not much of an endorsement for "The Ultimate Driving Machine" company's engineering staff.
    Now even after having the control arms replaced (which made the car more stable) I am still experiencing vibration with my 20" wheels. It's less than it was but I was surprised that it wasn't eliminated. My E65 with 20" wheels was noticeably smoother.
    BMW is often cited as over-engineering their cars....but a lot of it is poor engineering. I say that as a nearly 50-year mechanical design engineer. Sigh!

    Nice video. I didn't know about the control arms.
    But the battery doesn't go bad because of the number of electronic devices. It goes bad because of the huge heat buildup from the N63 engine with the exhaust in the V. This means that the fan needs to run for a long time once you stop (at least in hot climates) and this cycles the battery, killing it over time.

  • @javonnehall5465
    @javonnehall5465 2 года назад +3

    I have F01 740i I bought used with under 100k miles. The controls arms and battery were the first things I replaced after purchasing it. I also had to replace the flexible disc between the rear differential and the drive shaft to pass state inspection. I do my own repair work, so it didnt cost much for the parts (FCP Euro). Like you I enjoy this car, it is easier to maintain and work on than the E60 5 series I previously owned. This car is a joy to drive and own. Nice videos!

    Is it the upper or the lower control arms that go bad? Both sides? Ball joints? I like your videos. I am thinking about buying one. I have had many BMW’s over the years. I have a 2002 540i. May I ask on the 2002 540i, if the timing chain guide breaks and the chain goes out, do the valves need to be checked for being bent always? Last question: does this 750 Ix 2012 engine have timing chain problems that need to be maintained

I spent a looking time looking for the antenna under the car near the driver's seat only to find it mounted inside the rear bumper. I replace dit but the TPMS malfunction warning remains. I think there is a main control unit but I cant find it anywhere. Would you know where the main control module for the TPMS monitoring is on a 2012 (F02) 750LI?

      Also, it is bad for exosted gas comes inside through the heat vents.
      Also, from outside it smells like a excavation with burned oil.

      Depends on what year and engine size you buy. DO NOT buy a V-8 built before 2013, unless you are a) wealthy and car repair money is not an issue b) have money to toss at the dealership like you're at a strip club and c) you want to experience chasing oil leaks from various failed gaskets and O-rings. I wanted a 750, but after popping the hood on an 550i and seeing all the work I would have to do just remove obstructions to get to the engine valve covers, I said no effing way and bought the 740i. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and my car. No high oil consumption, good gas mileage and I still have all the luxury accessories of a 7 series. Get you one!

    I was thinking to upgrate from my e39 530I to this, but probably not. Touch wood my E39 is going super strong and does not eat any oil, I cannot imagine how a 11years newer model will have problems that my e39 2000 does not.

    Hi,
    I'm looking at a 2010 750Li xDrive AWD with 101,494 ml. The dealer is asking $13,985. Do you think this is a reasonable price for this car? What are some of the things I should be looking at or for on the car when examining it? What engine does it have? Thank you for any help

    Wish I would've seen this video before I purchased a 2012 750 Li. It has a little over 95000 miles on it. I purchased it from a reputable dealership and within 2 weeks the engine was shot. The tech at BMW said there was brass in the engine. I'm thinking maybe from broken piston rings. A new engine is $27000 plus labor. So I had to purchase a used engine and the labor is over $4000. He's right. Make SURE a BMW is what you want to invest in before purchasing one. This will be my first and my last BMW.

      I will recommend to give good maintenance to your BMW used always Castrol or mobil oil 0w40 (European formula) which can work in almost every weather conditions.
      I know BMW dealer are using the new BMW twin turbo oil which is make by Pennzoil but it is not do good as the Castrol or mobil
      And when you buy your oil filter make sure to a German brand like mahle, Mann, etc,.. to prevent problems with your BMW engine.
      You can big these filter online at Amazon that's where I get most of my stuff for my BMW.
      I am going to make a new of the maintenance cost of my BMW and i will add the picture and prices of the part that I have purchased online including the oil filter.

    • @MDogg-xr8fu
      @MDogg-xr8fu 7 лет назад +1

      Francisco Amaya Thanks. I don't know if the oil had anything to do with the brass. The only information the BMW tech would give is that there was brass in the engine and it had to be replaced. You may be on to something when you mentioned the weak piston rings. Thanks for the information. I will definitely keep that in mind when having my oil and filters changed and look forward to the photos. Thanks.

    Hi ,I have same problem with my car it's bmw 7 serious.
    It's start shaking about 60mph ,I do balance for 2 front tires now its fill better than before but still a little bit shakes.
    The tire have some bumps on it and worn on one side, two tire shops said maybe it's a shock problem but I'm not sure.
    That's shock or alignment what you think..

    so u saying the car has bad piston rings? how then would it hold a HIGH compression ratio? r u sure its not doe to the fact with new environmental regulations you can vent oil into the atmosphere and therefore the crank case recirculates oil vapors into the air intake which then gets burned... this process is magnified with any turbo car. i can find many videos and articles explaining this phenomenon. Here is some features i will quote from the n63 motor "high-performance pistons and reinforced cylinder heads to withstand the additional stress from a higher compression ratio." 2 min in and already hearing nonsense,lets go for more. 20inch wheel vibrations... hmmm sure not cheap wheels, friend has an alpina b7 no vibrations with 21'', Entrepreneurs in Cars had the same problem when he bought an aftermarket set for f10 m5

      Ok, drivetrain malfunction error is a protection mode for the power train components to prevent and major damage to them.
      This usually happens when the vehicle needs a major service or major tune up the problem is than you need to have a BMW diagnostic tool (cost around $3,000.00) to know the actual reason with the of the drivetrain malfunction error.
      My BMW is running fine at this moment but I am going to replace the spark plugs soon because that is one of the major reason why the drivetrain malfunction error protection mode comes on.

    • @razvanr1657
      @razvanr1657 7 лет назад +1

      About to do that myself as well, I searched a lot about it and I've seen many cases where they changed something but the error was still there, or they couldn't find the root cause at all.
      That's why I got all these possible answers out, maybe I can have them checked at the service:
      >>>>
      We had this message almost immediately, returned car to the dealer, took them a half hour to find the problem. A short, 3 inch or so, flexible tube connected to the turbo would kink and after replacing it it has never recurred.
      bought a 740D 2 days ago,having the same problem.The car performs well but the message appears after the engine goes at 90-100 C°.I will visit a workshop these days and I'll be back with some answers. ✌
      UPDATE!
      I changed the engine oil and the malfunction is gone!
      I had Problem with Idel and error DRIVETRAIN IN 750I 2010 F01 I have fix and chaange Throttle Body work great.
      ignition coils and/or spark plugs
      I had to put a new transmission And shifting gear. 13k job!!!! Hope you covered

      Got a Drive Train malfunction on my Bmw 528i, Took it to Bmw of Ontario CA to get it checked out. Ignition Coils were on Tsb Recall and the best decision (they said) was to get new Ignition Coils and spark plugs.
      I had drivetrain malfunction and they replaced coil, spark plugs, 4 injectors and 1 more thing which i can't remember... 1 week total and now she's fine

      Turns out it was due to a "missfire on cylinder 8" error.
      The mechanic moved everything from the 8th cylinder to other positions: the injector to 7, the coil to 6, the spark plug to 5 and then the missfire error moved to 6, so faulty coil for me.

      The chassis problem are going to be very similar to the 750i, but engine problems are going to be different.

      It is going to have problems with.
