If you're in the market for a car that's large, comfortable and refined, then a used BMW 7 Series is a great choice. This premium saloon comes with a large amount of kit and is designed to impress even the most discerning passenger. With its extensive range of powertrain options, including a long-range PHEV, there's a 7 Series for any need.
BMW has offered petrol, hybrid and diesel configurations, with a manual or an automatic gearbox and rear- or four-wheel drive. Currently, the new 7 Series is only available as a petrol-hybrid model.
Petrol740d boosts the rating to 315bhp, making it one of the more powerful diesels offered, with a fuel economy of up to 47.1mpg
With ample space for all passengers, the BMW 7 Series is a practical executive saloon designed to keep everyone comfortable during the drive.
Interior spaceThe 7 Series first hit the roads back in 1977 with the E23. It was met with such success that a second generation (E32) was needed by 1986, and there was also the option of a long-wheelbase model. Since then, there have been a total of seven generations, with BMW adding more technology, refinement and comfort with each update.
Over four decades since its introduction, BMW launched a seventh-generation 7 Series with its first-ever electric configuration (the i7). The vehicle had a new design with a wide, tall grille and LED daytime running lights were installed higher up. New air intakes were also added along with a new lower grille for added cooling.
Several updates were made inside the cabin, including a new 12.3-inch driver display and a 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen - both were featured under glass, making them look like they were part of one display. A standard Panoramic Sky Lounge LED roof contained a fixed, single glass surface encased within a steel frame.

BMW updated the 7 Series platform with a carbon-fibre reinforced polymer design. Nearly every design element was brand new with this generation, including the exhaust, paint colours, wheel designs and taillights. Even the kidney grille was larger.
In 2019, BMW offered an update with new headlights, and a new grille and bonnet. New vents were added to pull air from the wheel area, thereby reducing the aerodynamic lift of the vehicle. A full-width light strip was also installed in the rear.

BMW hoped to return to a more traditional style with the fifth-generation 7 Series. The large headlights were placed for a better connection with the bumper, while the long, straight lines were added to the car's design to make it look longer.
By 2012, the 7 Series was ready for a facelift, which included updates for new emissions standards. Most of the design remained, except for some new LED headlights and a redesigned bumper. There were also fewer slats added to the grille.

With a refined look, advanced technology and decent pace, the BMW 7 Series ticks a lot of boxes. And with its choice of engines, you can choose a trim that suits your lifestyle and desired running costs. Cheaper than its rivals by Mercedes and Audi, it's also equipped with ample safety features. And although BMW isn't one of the top-rated car manufacturers for reliability, reported problems with the 7 Series are few. These include issues with the diesel engines, gearbox and interior trims.
When it comes to speed, the M760Li xDrive is top of the range with its 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 engine. Producing 602bhp, it reaches 62mph in just 3.7 seconds. However, if you're looking to save on fuel, the 740 and 750 trims handle brilliantly for their size with their carbon fibre giving them a lighter feel.
If you're looking to keep running costs down, you'll want to stay away from its petrol engines. The plug-in hybrid 745e is the most economical BMW 7 Series trim, boasting a fuel economy of 141mpg and low CO2 emissions of 46g/km. Thanks to its fixed emissions, it also gives you free access to certain cities with low emission zones. You'll also need to keep in mind the BMW 7 Series' high insurance groups as a result of its powerful performance and complex engineering - even the 740i and 730d sit in insurance groups 48 and 49. Annual road tax ranges from £165 to £580, while repairs can be expensive.
Since its launch in 1977, the BMW 7 Series has been manufactured at the BMW Group Plant in Dingolfing, Germany.
