About the 2000 BMW 760
The 2000 BMW 760 is a premium performance with a 5970cc petrol engine. 40 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It ranks in the top 1% of all 2000 cars for reliability.
With an average of 44,727 miles at 24 years old, BMW 760 owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2000 BMW 760 Fuel Costs
The 5970cc petrol engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 30 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,592 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).
What does it cost to own a 2000 BMW 760?
Total estimated annual running cost is £2,097 (£175/month), broken down as £1592 fuel, £250 road tax, £55 MOT, and £200 predicted repairs. The low repair estimate reflects the excellent 100% pass rate. These cars rarely fail their MOT, so unexpected bills are less likely.
Buying a Used 2000 BMW 760
At 24 years old, the BMW 760 is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. If you're flexible on year, the 2003 model has the highest pass rate at 91%. Note: with only 40 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
