2016 BMW 750i common problems

The most-reported problem areas across all 8 owner complaints filed with NHTSA — and what to check before you buy.

Seat Belts

Check that every belt latches, retracts and locks under a sharp tug, and that none are frayed.

Engine

Listen for knocks or ticking, check for leaks and blue/white exhaust smoke, and make sure it doesn't overheat. No check-engine light should be on.

Wheels

Inspect wheels for bends, cracks and curb rash, and feel for vibration at highway speed.

Electrical System

Test every electrical feature: windows, locks, infotainment, charging and all lights. Watch for flickering, dead accessories or warning lights.

Exterior Lighting

Confirm all headlights, brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights work, with no moisture inside the housings.

Air Bags

Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.
