general problems of the 2008 BMW 750

Door does not stay closed. Door opened while driving.

It has been since may 2017 that BMW issued a recall without any remedy as of 12/2017. I feel I am entitled to a buy-back as they still have not remedied this issue.

A SUV traveling at 20 miles per hr hits passenger side of a 750 li traveling crossing a 2 way intersection spins the cars in a circle with skid marks on the highway damage the passenger side of the door and the lower panel of car and only there bumper was loose and it was driveable how is that a SUV traveling at such slow speed as I been told can do such do as much damages to a 750 li and the car is totaled.

The driver side door will not close shut. This starting occurring intermittently in early may 2016 and took several attempts of lifting the door handle several times before the soft lock would take. Today 22 may 2016, the door failed to close and lock after multiple attempts and extensively exercising the door handles from both inside and outside the vehicle. Fortunately the car was not in motion during the many times the problem occurred, but it should be obvious that the vehicle cannot be driven safely if the door does not close. In reading up and educating myself on this defect, this appears to have been a known issue in the previous year of this same model but for whatever reason, the recall was not extend to the 2008. I love the BMW 7 series particularly this 750, but I will have to end my 12 year marriage of owning BMW¿s if they choose not to remedy this defect in the 2008.

Door not latching correctly. It unexpectedly opened while driving and would not close back. I had to secure it with a bungee cord to continue home.

Own 2008 BMW 750 w/ soft close doors. Having the same issue as the 2005-2007 750s that have been recalled. At 35 mph, door flew open and I couldn't close. Sometimes it latches and sometimes it doesn't. Cpo just expired 1 month ago. Dealer wants $ 1800 to fix. I know other owners w/ soft close doors - nothing but headaches. Considering the 2008 has the same doors as the 2007, I cannot imagine why the recall didn't extend to the 2008 also.

I own a 2008 BMW 750li with soft close doors. The passenger side front door will not close properly. The soft close does not work at all anymore and 9 times out of 10 the door will not close at all. I have to repeatedly try to close the door over and over and over. If this is the same problem as previous models, why is this not part of a recall.

I unlocked my vehicle to open the driver side door so that I may enter. The door opened as it normally should, I entered the vehicle and attempted to close the door. The door would not latch on to the rest of the car. The door will swing open and in the close position properly, but the latch itself would not operate, therefore it is impossible to drive the car in a safe manner. Upon research and consulting with a german car mechanic, it appears that the "soft close" function of the door failed, causing the latch to seize and become inoperable. The 2005-2007 models for this exact vehicle were recalled on October 28th, 2012 for the same exact issue, however my 2008 model was not included as part of the recall. The 2005-2007 models are identical to the 2008 model, and use all of the same exact parts, including the door latch. The 2008 model should have been included in this recall, as the same defective door latch mechanism is used in this car as well. A simple google search of "BMW 7 series door not closing" also yeilds several hundred reports of other people having this same issue. Door latches should be designed to last the life of the car, as it is a major safety issue to drive with your door open.

Door mechanical/electrical problem - door will not lock/unlock. Dealer replaced lock mechanism under warranty. It happened again in June 2014, dealer fixed it for $1200. Starting August 2014 I have again this issue. Paying $1200 to fix a problem fixed 3 months earlier is not fair.
