Which BMW 750Li years should you avoid?

Going by 467 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the BMW 750Li years to avoid are 2006.

  • 2006216 complaints, 3.3× a typical 750Li year, most often about the transmission.

How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
