A good friend of mine has decided to buy a 2008 750. I went to try one with him today and I was surprised by how refined this car is. Are there reliability issues with this model ? Many thanks

Why are you surprised that a 3 year old seven series is refined? I'd be surprised of it wasn't refined!

Epic motors, I love my E65. The later models are generally pretty reliable. Check all the electrics and the history carefully. OEM tyres (or equivalent) are a good sign of an owner who didn't skimp. A 750 running on nankangs suggest money has been skimped on elsewhere. The auto box should be imperceptible in its operation and nothing should rattle, vibrate or shudder. If it feels smooth and well planted then all is well.

Yes, that comment puzzled me too. Surely everyone expects a 750 to be refined?
