2007 BMW 750li my wife use this car for routing and normal drive to school and home, never drive to mountain and rockroad. More than 6 month only 5000 miles, then tire wheel crack. Because a crack caused the flat, tire that is very dangerous. Thank god she didn't drive on highway, so nobody got injury. Right now I doubt the tire wheel quality, how come only 5000 miles the tire wheel will crack. That is defect. The tire wheel suppose to last for 10 or 50 thousand miles include impact and speed test.
Since purchasing my BMW 750li I have had nothing but problems starting w/the keyless remote which would not start the car(push start)/inserted. This was taken to the shop 4x before the problem was solved...2nd the battery died 2x on a 2007 unbelievable, now each time I turn off the car the battery is discharged so it makes you hesitate to drive anywhere far..the rims cracked causing continuous low tire pressure I spend more time @lb BMW its unreal they treat you unfair so with a dreamcar this is truly a horror!!
Transmission slips and slams into gear frequently transitioning from 2-1 or 1-2. I've taken it to the dealer, they replaced computer systems and updated software but the problem still exists.
