Problem overview

Some BMW 750Li owners report experiencing issues such as a rumbling noise when stopping and unexpected shifting into park, often accompanied by the activation of the sport light. These problems may stem from transmission issues, with some owners noting difficulties in shifting out of park or experiencing jerking movements while driving. Additionally, the start/stop feature has been reported to cause unexpected shifts into park. The activation of the sport light could indicate underlying transmission or gear selector problems, complicating the use of drive modes and console buttons. Furthermore, the BMW 750Li is recognized as one of the least reliable models, with potential issues emerging as early as 50,000 miles if maintenance is neglected. To mitigate these concerns, owners are advised to maintain regular service, check transmission fluid levels, and be aware of common model-specific problems. If these issues persist, seeking a professional mechanic's evaluation is recommended for effective diagnosis and resolution.
