My complaint is with 2007 bmw 750li model. There is an energy parasite in the vehicle's electrical system. It has been narrowed down/pointed out as the "comfort access system" by other owners. This comfort access system does not shut-down completely when parked and drains the battery. Energy drain also occurs during the vehicle operation and the vehicle shuts down a/c blower frequently to conserve energy. It required me to jump start the vehicle on numerous occasions. I have taken the vehicle to bmw dealers on three different occasions and besides changing the battery, nothing much has been addressed. Even after new battery, loss of energy still persists. There are many complaints on the web regarding this issue. Bmw would not proactively address the issue, unless the diagnostics system directs them to a specific area/areas. My vehicle currently is not pointing to any errors, so bmw shrugs away and asks me to live with it. In the meanwhile, it is an unreliable and unsafe vehicle to operate. Presently, the loss of energy is resulting in blower or other energy consuming device shutdown, and requiring a jump for vehicle start up. If this phenomenon gets worse, the vehicle can loose power completely during operation and shutdown, leading to a very unsafe condition, especially, on highways it can lead to fatal accidents. I would like this safety issue to be addressed by nhtsa. I am available anytime to provide any additional information. This issue has been reported to bmw dealers at mt. Laurel, nj and alexandria, va, and customer service and is fully documented by them.
Drivers side front door failed to close or latch. The door had to be 'zip tied' to rear driver side door to get the vehicle home. I took the vehicle into the dealership for diagnosis and was told that the issue was due to a faulty door lock actuator for my vehicle which has comfort access and soft close doors. I find this to be a serious safety issue if the actuator fails that the door cannot be closed at all.

On 11-19-2017 while driving on a city roadway. My passenger car door suddenly opened and to avoid any physical damage to my passenger i abruptly turn my vehicle to a safer position. No soon after that i notice my vehicle leveling warning sign appear on the dash. With research, i found out that opening door linked up to recall on the nhtsa. I proceeded to call bmw for the fix. Not knowing the mechanics of the vehicle, i assumed this fix will fix the door lock and the leveling problem. However, i got the door fixed but the leveling problem got even worse after the lock got fixed. I picked up my vehicle on 12-23-2017. Tthe leveling is a high safety concern. I would like to know if the issue exists with these cars and i would like a remedy for my situation. I contacted bmw, but they will not fix the issue as a recall.
The oil cooler adapter plate is defective the o ring is defective and leaks oil all over everything including wires.if your car doesn't have an external oil cooler, the plate, with the o ring seal will leak oil. The other side has two holes that can be machined for the external oil cooler, but if your car does not have that feature you will have oil leaks. Common oil leak on the v8 n62 and n62tu engines that would be in the e65 7 series and the x5 e53. This is the bearing block where the alternator mounts to. There is a gasket that develops a bad leak because of the seal failing. The seal has no use to the engine it is just there just in case if you get the oil cooling option and if you choose not to get the option your car will leak oil because the seal is not substantial and the oil has no where to go, so it leaks out of the gasket. The leak can be quite substantial.
Trouble filling gas tank, very very slow fill with multiple overflow including gas spillage.gas attendant stated that this is a real safety hazard.

The right/passengerfront door does not stay shut. It will not lock, it will not latch. It appears that the actuator is defective this is a safety issue and should be addressed by bmw and not a cost to the consumer.

I was communting to work when the door popped open. At first i heard the dash chime and qucikly noticed the sound of wind while i was driving. I looked to my left and the driver side door was cracked open while i was driving 65 miles an hour. I reacted quickly but was in complete was shock . I attempted to quickly shut the door while driving but the lock would not catch. All i could do was hold the door close as tightly as i could until i was able to pull over. When i stopped i made three attempts to close the door completey, on the forth try it closed. I continued to drive on to work and about twenty minutes later it happened again but i was just upthe street from my job. I went to work and called my husband crying and the nearest bmw service dept. I did not call anyone while communting after the incident due to the fact that i was in fear of the door opening again and my hands were not free. I called the dealer and the rep researched for any recalls in regards in which he could not locate any on the door handle. He informed me that it was something with the door module and i needed to update the programming for the door. I was totally confused. But it cost me $700 for one door lock replacement. After the incident i recalled that a couple times prevously to the incident that the soft close would sometimes not work on the front driver side door and to this date i am unsure if the two problems correlated to my $700 fix.
