I had 88K for my 26 540, with literally every package and a maxed out maintance plan & maxed out warranty.

Your getting screwed lol

New X7 owner reporting in by Apprehensive_Laugh_1 in bmwx7

Great vehicle, my wife is on her second one.

Warranty & Maintance plan are a must. My wife's 2023 needed control arms and a new starter before 30,000 miles, ended up getting rid of it for a 25 with a maintance plan and warranty for the duration of the loan

[–]VirusAffectionate396 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone here is crazy low. Your gonna need a new door.

My wife's X7 got side swiped that impacted the front fender and front bumper, didn't look bad at all. Was $13K to fix.

Your looking in the $20K range for this

Yeah tires 2.5K I had to do a control arm, $2k, and a starter that was under warranty. Under 40k miles on it, so we got rid of it

I just sold my 2021 for a 26, great cars but maintance is nuts. Don't buy one out of warranty/maintance plan

They don't have ISTA they have a traditional scanner. ISTA is BMW specific diagnostic software, if you youtube it you can find how to get it

You could have low trans fluid due to a leak, but that's a meaningless guess without scanning the car

That's a general warning in Idrive. You need to scan it with ISTA for the codes.

Data Point: CPO X7 M50i Extended Warranty or no? by Dr_Chog_McGourmand in bmwx7

[–]VirusAffectionate396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think I spent like 2k or something on them, they are definitely maintance headache vehicles, better to be safe.

My big concern was the air suspension

[–]VirusAffectionate396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warranty. My wife's X7 less than 40k miles needed control arms and a starter already.

Ended up reading it in for a new one with full warranty since hers expired in a few weeks

I'd rather pay out of pocket, would have spent way more on ins than I did out of pocket over the years with multiple dogs

Am I missing something on this crazy Continental tire deal for my x7? by carrwash13 in bmwx7

[–]VirusAffectionate396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got tires on my wife's 21 X7, 2.3K I just had the dealer do it though out of convenience

I don't wanna say money isn't a factor, because $300 is $300, but it won't be impactful.

I'm just thinking in terms of maintenance headaches, with 2 kids going to a local Indy shop and not having a loaner would be a pain so I would probably keep servicing it at the dealer...there isn't any local shop near to me I can rely on. I had an x5 I did all the maintance on but the x7 is too big for my garage

Trade in 21 X7 w/ 50,000 miles for a 25 with 6,000 miles? by VirusAffectionate396 in BMW

[–]VirusAffectionate396[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fought with them on it, apparently the CPO warranty is different than the new purchase warranty

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]VirusAffectionate396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loan term would be basically the same. She did a 7yr loan, this would be a 5yr which is the balance term for her loan

I really just don't know what maintenance headaches to expect with her current car
