The check engine light stays on because of the defective wire harness. It was made of very low quality and I feel strongly this is a major safety defect and needs to be rectified. NHTSA should initiate a vehicle recall because of this.

Common questions
Is the 2013 BMW 750i reliable?
Limited NHTSA data. Only 7 owner complaints have been filed for the 2013 BMW 750i, which is not enough for a meaningful reliability score. Active recalls (if any) are listed on this page and remain authoritative — those are verified defects regardless of complaint volume. For a confident reliability read we look for at least 10 owner complaints in the federal database.
Should you avoid the 2013 BMW 750i?
Only 7 NHTSA complaints on file — too few for a confident call. The 1 active recall above remain authoritative; read those first. We don't issue a buy/avoid verdict on the 2013 BMW 750i without a meaningful complaint sample — doing so off a handful of filings would be guesswork.
What should I check before buying a used 2013 BMW 750i?
There isn't enough NHTSA complaint data on the 2013 BMW 750i to flag a standout failure pattern. Run the VIN for open recalls — those are free to fix regardless of warranty — get a standard pre-purchase inspection, and ask the seller for service records.
Is the 2013 BMW 750i a good used car to buy?
Hard to say from federal data alone — only 7 owner complaints have been filed. Lean on the recall list above, a pre-purchase inspection, and a vehicle-history report on the specific VIN. Our data tells you what the model is known for; a history report tells you what that exact car has been through.
What's the most common problem on the 2013 BMW 750i?
Based on NHTSA records, the most-reported issue is powertrain, with 4 complaints filed. Typical failure occurs around 40,000 miles. Average repair cost runs about $2,500 at an independent shop.

How do I check if my BMW 750i has open recalls?
Paste your VIN into the decoder at the top of this page. We pull live from NHTSA, so you'll see exactly which campaigns apply to your vehicle and whether the dealer has logged the fix. Recall repairs are always free regardless of mileage or warranty status.
Is an extended warranty worth it on a 2013 BMW 750i?
Hard to say from NHTSA data alone with only 7 complaints on file. A quality service contract runs $1,800–3,500 over 3 years. The decision comes down to your specific situation: vehicle cost, miles on it, how long you plan to keep it, and whether you can absorb a $3K–$8K repair without straining cashflow. With limited public data on this vehicle, lean on the recall list above and check owner forums before committing.
