Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- N63 V8 Catastrophic FailuresSerious
The hot-V 4.4L twin-turbo V8 in the 750i experiences severe heat buildup between cylinder banks, cooking valve stem seals, stretching timing chains, and causing piezoinjector failures that risk fuel bore washing or engine seizure.
- Rear Air Suspension FailureSerious
The standard self-levelling rear air suspension bellows perish along the lower rolling fold, causing slow air loss. If ignored, the compressor runs continuously to compensate and burns out.
- Soft Close Door FailureModerate
The electric motors and pull cables inside the soft-close door latch assemblies can fail or slip, causing doors to not cinch completely or register false "door open" warnings at speed.
