# 2015-2022 BMW 750Li The BMW 750Li represents the long-wheelbase variant of the 7 Series flagship sedan, offering opulent rear-seat accommodations and cutting-edge technology. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 producing 445 horsepower (later updated to 523 hp in 2020), it delivers effortless performance wrapped in executive-class luxury. Reviewers praise its whisper-quiet cabin, massaging seats, and sophisticated driving dynamics, though some criticize the complex iDrive interface and carbon-core construction's high repair costs. The model became infamous for reliability concerns, particularly with electronics and the air suspension system. Best suited for executives, entrepreneurs, and luxury enthusiasts who prioritize rear-seat comfort and prestige. Ideal for chauffeur-driven use, airport transfers, or those wanting BMW's flagship experience. Today's buyers should budget for significant maintenance costs and consider extended warranties given its technological complexity.
The 750Li demands premium fuel and frequent expensive services. Common issues include air suspension failures ($2,000-4,000), turbocharger problems, and complex electronic malfunctions. Extended warranty recommended as repairs easily exceed $5,000. Insurance costs are high due to expensive parts/technology. Reliability lags competitors; budget $3,000+ annually for maintenance beyond typical costs.
