📖BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo F07 LCI: a mature luxury crossover where air suspension and transmission care rule

BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo F07 LCI (2013-2017)

Introduced in 2013, the facelifted BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo F07 LCI refined the crossover's exterior styling with a redesigned boot lid that expanded luggage space to 500 litres, alongside revised bumper contours and upgraded cabin appointments. Underneath, it retained the palatial long-wheelbase 7 Series underpinnings. Enjoying its relaxed touring capability requires dedicated BMW 5 Series maintenance, particularly targeting the pneumatic rear axle and drivetrain fluids.

Powertrains were updated to comply with Euro 6 emissions, featuring refined N55 straight-six petrol and twin-turbo N57 diesel units paired with the buttery eight-speed ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox. The self-levelling rear air suspension remains standard, requiring periodic replacement of the rubber air bellows before compressor burnout occurs.

The bi-modal dual-action tailgate mechanism operates more smoothly on LCI models but still requires periodic hinge lubrication. With verified transmission and suspension maintenance, the F07 LCI stands as one of the most comfortable and capable grand tourers on the second-hand market.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Enhanced luggage capacity of 500 litres paired with palatial 7 Series passenger space and legroom.
  • Refined Euro 6 compliant N57 diesel and N55 petrol engines offering massive torque and touring endurance.
  • Sublime ride compliance and motorway stability delivered by the long-wheelbase chassis and rear air suspension.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Rear air suspension springs: check for overnight rear sagging indicating leaking rubber air springs.
  • Two-piece tailgate latches and motors: verify both small-boot lid and full-liftback opening modes lock securely.
  • ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox: confirm smooth shift quality and plan fluid renewal on higher-mileage examples.
  • Front suspension control arm hydro-bushes: inspect for fluid misting and steering flutter under braking.
  • Coolant expansion tank and hoses: inspect plastic cooling connections and electric water pump operation.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Brake fluid service: flush and replace every 24 months according to manufacturer intervals.
  • ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox fluid service: renew fluid and integrated pan filter between 80,000 and 100,000 km.
  • Rear air suspension bellows replacement: renew rubber air springs preventatively around 100,000 km or 6 years.
  • Engine oil and filter change: every 15,000 km or 12 months with BMW Longlife-04 approved synthetic oil.
