Vehicle

BMW i7

The electric 7 Series, on the same G70 shell as the combustion car. It carries the largest pack BMW has fitted to a saloon at 101.7 kWh usable, and the marque's most elaborate body electronics — automatic doors, a rear cinema screen, active roll control — so a great deal of what goes wrong on this car is neither the drivetrain nor the battery but a module on a bus a scan tool has to be told how to reach.

    One 101.7 kWh pack across the range, and the most elaborate body electronics BMW builds — most faults here are network rather than powertrain.

Service information

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
