so i got this buddy who had a 2003 BMW 7 Series right. He had a few issues to deal with. First thing he mentioned was the electrical problems. The lights would flicker and sometimes radio would cut out. And backing camera seemed to have a mind of its own and quit working.
then there’s the suspension. it can get pretty noisy when driving over bumps. It’s like riding on a rollercoaster. and he said the brake pads wear out real quick in the winter, maybe cause of the salt on the roads?
He also said something about coolant leaks, had to keep topping it up.
i wonder if anyone else experienced this? i’m thinking about buying one in used condition. maybe you guys can help?
oh and by the way, he also had to replace the cam belt once. it’s a costly car to maintain, but still loves the ride. what do you think?
Caught a Z3 owner griping about his 2003 BMW 7 Series over at Portland. Oil leaks, electrical gremlins, and that cabin filter’s a pain. Man, that warranty expired fast! The techs are swearing they keep their tools handy just for these cars. So much drama!

Apart from those kickass seats and smooth rides, it’s notorious for electrical issues—you’d think someone’s tinkering when the dashboard lights flicker.

Still, despite the quirks, it’s a solid joyride when the car’s just being a car.
I’ve owned a 2003 BMW 7 Series here in Canada and lemme tell ya, it was a mixed bag of pleasure and pain. The ride was smooth, no doubt, but electronics issues? A constant headache.

Yet, the steering always felt more like I was in a movie than a car, which kinda made it all worth it. That engine roar, though, pure bliss.
I’ve got a buddy in Toronto whose 2003 BMW 7 Series had issues with that pesky electrical system. I have seen headlights and wipers actin’ up like crazy. Also, I ve heard big problems with the injectors and side mirrors are often adrift on the flip. Yeah, that model can pack a few tricks

Glad it’s unique compared to the usual suspects.
