Overview & Reviews

For the first time in nearly 20 years, the 2011 BMW 7 Series gets a six-cylinder engine. Found in the new 740i and 740Li, it's an uprated version of BMW's twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-6.

• Variety of smooth and powerful engines, standout handling, supreme long-distance capability, sublime seats, enhanced maneuverability of four-wheel steering.

• Delayed throttle reactions in Normal mode, high-tech features may overwhelm, ride on the firm side for some.

  Poor Interior - 2011 BMW 7-Series
  By ddmcneill1 - August 9 - 9:05 pm

  I have a 2011 750LI Xdrive BMW. The paint on the knobs on my panel are coming off, I called BMW to complain. I went to a dealership and found that other 750LI X were having the same problems. If you are having this problem please call the head quarters of BMW and file a complaint maybe we can get them to replace the knobs. I had a 2007 750LI BMW and never saw any fading on the heat controls , startup controls and a few other. To spend 100k BMW should not put cheap anything on this car.

  Nice but issues - 2011 BMW 7-Series
  By jimmyhow - December 31 - 12:21 pm

  I considered the S hybrid but chose the 740Li because it drove better. Sadly my alternator has gone out and needed replacement. The car drives well and is pretty fast, but the ride is not super smooth and the car could definately be quieter. I found dealer support to be poor as was that from BMW corporate. I will buy an S class next time.

  excellent car but tire problems - 2011 BMW 7-Series
  By ahly - December 9 - 5:50 pm

  I am leasing the 750ix for one year, excellent car inside out except the run flat tires I have to change 6 tires and one rim in one year you have to buy the tire insurance otherwise you are risking too much. Fun to drive almost perfect except dealing with frequent dealer visits to change tires. If you talk to their customer service about the tire problem they refuse to deal with the problem. I personally know many BMW car owners who have the same problem of frequent tire problems. This my last car with run flat tires very disappointed it is a waste of money, time and resources(rubber).
