Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 750I.
The 2007 BMW 750i is the E65-generation full-size sedan, specified with an 8.5-quart oil capacity using 15W-40, 10W-40, or 10W-30 API SJ oil and paired with a six-speed automatic (S6) transmission. EPA fuel-economy ratings come in at 15 city, 23 highway, and 18 combined mpg. Within the 1990–2016 complaint history, the model line peaks in 2011 with 16 complaints and hits its lowest recorded point in 2014 with 4, so the 2007 model sits before that peak rather than at either extreme. That placement means its reliability record should be weighed against a dataset whose highest complaint volume belongs to later model years, not to the 2007 car itself.
