Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 750i xDrive.
The 2014 BMW 750i xDrive is a passenger car paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission (S8), specified with a 9.0-quart engine-oil capacity using 0W-30, 0W-40, or 5W-30 viscosity grades, and EPA fuel-economy ratings of 16/24/19 mpg city/highway/combined. Across the 2011–2015 model span, the 2014 model sits at the low point of the complaint history with just four owner complaints, a single recall, and Engine & Engine Cooling cited as the top complaint area. That positioning makes the 2014 750i xDrive the quietest year in this range, though the recorded engine-cooling complaints and active recall still deserve close attention on any example.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
From 2011 to 2015 the federal record shows a steady drop in complaints, falling from 16 in 2011 to 18 in 2012, then to 7 in 2013, 4 in 2014, and reaching zero in 2015. Recalls also declined, decreasing from two each in 2011 and 2012 to one in 2013, remaining at one through 2014 and 2015, while investigations stayed at zero throughout. The 2014 model year sits in the middle of this downward trend, with the second‑lowest complaint count and the same single recall as the surrounding years. This pattern suggests improving reliability as the generation progressed, with 2014 reflecting fewer reported issues than its immediate predecessors. Consequently, based solely on the complaint and recall data, the 2014 BMW 750i xDrive appears to be a favorable year to consider for purchase.
