📖BMW 7 Series Saloon G11 LCI: imposing design and electrification requiring rigorous hybrid and powertrain care

BMW 7 Series Saloon (G11 LCI, facelift 2019) (2019-2022)

Unveiled in 2019, the facelifted BMW 7 Series Saloon G11 LCI adopted a commanding visual presence, distinguished by an expansive single-piece kidney grille, slimmer headlights and full-width rear LED light bar. Inside, acoustic insulation was further enhanced with thicker laminated side glass and updated BMW Live Cockpit Professional software. Enjoying its opulent grand-touring character requires dedicated BMW 7 Series maintenance, especially regarding electrified powertrains and onboard computing.

Powertrains received comprehensive upgrades: the straight-six B57 diesels gained 48V mild-hybrid assistance on later builds, the six-cylinder 745e replaced the older four-cylinder 740e with superior electric power, and the 750i received the formidable 530 hp N63B44T3 V8. All models channel power through an updated ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox and available xDrive. The standard adaptive air suspension delivers unmatched long-distance pliancy when kept free of pneumatic leaks.

Owner notes

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

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Striking exterior presence matched by whisper-quiet cabin acoustics with enhanced acoustic glazing.
  • The 745e plug-in hybrid marries smooth B58 straight-six power with capable zero-emissions urban range.
  • Exemplary ride comfort from standard adaptive two-axle air suspension and refined ZF 8-speed transmission.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • B57 diesels with 48V mild hybrid: inspect 48V auxiliary battery, belt-driven starter generator and EGR cooler condition.
  • 740i B58: inspect coolant circuit reservoir caps, turbo coolant lines and oil filter housing seals.
  • 745e PHEV: verify high-voltage battery state of health, onboard AC charger operation and hybrid cooling loops.
  • 750i N63B44T3: check hot-vee turbo coolant lines, engine oil consumption and auxiliary radiator cleanliness.
  • Air suspension and chassis sensors: inspect pneumatic bellows and front suspension control arm bushes for wear.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil change: renew every 10,000 to 15,000 km or annually to preserve turbo bearings and timing components.
  • ZF 8-speed transmission fluid service: replace fluid and integrated filter pan every 80,000 to 100,000 km.
  • Brake fluid service: flush and replace hydraulic fluid every 24 months according to factory schedule.
  • 12V and 48V electrical check: scan onboard battery states and charging modules annually before cold weather.
