Excuse me but I believe there is a confusion here. I think we are talking about the 740Li/F01. There were no 740L/E38 produced in 2009 as its production was already ended in 2001
?Would you please clarify/correct me if I'm wrong
On the other hand, you could head to
www.CarComplaints.Com and check the model year you are interested in for general user reports about reliability and common problems. There is also the extensive database of
www.ConsumerReports.Org site where you could get a deeper look
These sites are not restricted to BMWs and could be used to check the make/model/year reports from almost all-over-the-world car owners reports
Cheers
