Clear information first, then the right engine and specialist for your exact vehicle.
Variant History
The BMW 750i debuted in the E32 generation in 1987 as the flagship V12 model. The name continued through the E38 with a 5.4-litre V12, then transitioned to a V8 for the E65 and subsequent generations. The 750i has evolved from a naturally aspirated 12-cylinder to a twin-turbo V8 producing over 520hp in its most potent form.

The BMW 750i has worn four very different engines over its lifetime. The E38's M73 V12 is widely considered the most reliable of the generation. The E65's N62 V8 suffers primarily from valve stem seal failure. The F01 and G11's N63 twin-turbo V8 engines are the most complex and failure-prone, with hot restart issues, timing chain stretch, and turbocharger failures being common. Rebuilt engines through EnginesMarket include upgraded components addressing these original failure points, plus a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
