Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 750LI.

Transmission Automatic (S6)

Built on the E66 platform, the 2007 BMW 750LI pairs an Automatic (S6) transmission with an engine requiring 8.5 qt of 15W-40 / 10W-40 / 10W-30 API SJ oil to deliver EPA estimates of 15/23/18 mpg. While the recorded model complaint history spans 2012-2016 with figures ranging from a high of 26 complaints in 2012 to a low of 1 in 2016, the 2007 model year falls prior to this tracked period. This chronological gap places the vehicle outside the documented reliability trends, indicating that the recorded complaint data does not extend back to this specific model year.
