Problem overview

Some BMW 750Li owners report experiencing issues such as front speakers making a popping sound, which may be attributed to electrical problems, speaker damage, or connectivity issues. Additionally, some owners have reported a hard bang from the transmission while driving, indicating potential transmission problems, including harsh or delayed shifting and unusual noises during gear changes. Ignoring these transmission issues can lead to more severe damage, with repair costs ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 or more. Furthermore, the BMW 750Li is known for various common problems, including sluggish acceleration, transmission slipping, and engine oil leaks, particularly associated with the N63 engine, which may face timing chain failure and fuel injector issues. Given the complexity and potential costs of these problems, it is advisable for owners to seek professional inspection and repairs from a qualified mechanic or BMW specialist.
