I am considering the purchase of a 2006 750i with 33000 miles from an independent dealer who bought the car at an auction. Test drove the car briefly and everything seemed fine. It needs new front tires and the break pads may need replacement In reading the bulletin board, I am having second thoughts about the car. A leading consumer publication rated the reliability of the car much worse than average based on owners feedback. Edmund's review was very favorable. the asking price is 54k and the car was put in circulation in 04/2005. I would appreciate any feedback and advice as to what to look for and whether current owners would or would not buy their 750 again. THanks!

Replying to: sambo49 (Nov 20, 2006 4:15 am) The 750i is an awesome car to drive but it is complex and repairs and maintenance is high, and depreciation is pretty steep. I think your best approach is a) getting the car's warranty history b) seeing if extended warranty is possible or in effect and c) having the car checked out thoroughly stem to stern before you purchase it. Once you've done this, your decision should become clearer to you. |

i am really surprised after working on my car, figured bmw be a b...h to work on. but pleasantly surprised how easy they make it just one problem plastic clips like to fly when they pop out. i wish they didn't use plastic so much but i guess the car is heavy enough already

| Has anyone lease a used 745/750? What is the approximate payment for 2003/2004 car on a 36 month lease that sells for around $40K? Any things to watch out for? | |

In the Chicago area - BMW dealer has a NEW leftover 2006 750i. They want it off the lot and willing to deeply discount. I'm having a hard time finding new pricing/invoice info on '06's. Looking to negotiate a steep discount, then a great lease. The car's sticker as follows: Car $71,800 Luxury Seating Premium Sound Comfort Access Satellite Rear Shade Total MSRP $79,990 Any thoughts on price to offer? |
