Hello everyone I am New to this forum need some help
I am looking into getting a 2007 550i, but I will like to hear from owners about the reliability of the car since consumers report give it a below average? what is your opinion and what problems you are having with the car?

Thanks for your feedback

These cars a high maintenance cars, I am not going to lie. There is so much tech stuff in these cars, things are bound to break AT SOME POINT.
But since your car is an 07 it still has warranty I believe. I wouldn't worry about it. If it's covered it's all good.
These cars are worth it.

Didn't mean to scare you off...after a few weeks of ownership you will know you made the right decision.

welcome to the forum
You can't go wrong with a 550 - Does it have sport and premium?? if you're buying from a dealership make sure it's CPO until 100K. It can be a hit or miss with these cars, however there are some common problems that you learn to live with; eg: making a full smooth stop, pitting on the windshield, Mp3 retrofit...but once you drive it you will either love it or not. 550s' are very nice sport sedans - an excellent combination of a powerfull V8, comfort, handling, sport driving and looks.
post pics if u end up getting it.

42K miles with only two minor problems:

I-drive went blank (needs software update)
Faulty steering wheel sensor

Everything else has been solid, knock on wood

i hope the price will reflect the 2 problems - however, i would have the seller fix the i-drive problem before buy it. IMO. Also have the dealership run the VIN # and i think you might still be able to get the extended warranty if the previous owner didn't buy it - someone can correct me on that.

Sorry for not making it clear.

I bought it new, 42K miles is all mine

Thanks for the info... I am looking into a 550 black on black with sport and premium pack, comfort access and few other options... looks like a nice car with about 35k miles on it,,,
the question is it worth it to get it "Certified"? Is it a good warranty?

Krozi

If the car get's certified then all major parts will be covered. This is good.

Transmission, Engine, Steering, Suspension.... basically every MAJOR part.
