If you value a comfortable drive with plenty of space for driver and passengers, the 7 Series is for you. The BMW 7 Series makes every journey feel first-class. It’s a lower, sleeker and often more efficient alternative to SUVs, offering a plush cabin and smooth drive. The 7 Series launched in 1977 and has been going strong ever since. You'll find models from the early 2000s on used listings, with fifth-generation versions from 2008 still enjoying popularity. A 2022 update introduced plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and all-electric engines, while earlier generations offered petrols and diesels. In terms of luxury, comfort and tech, the 7 Series stands shoulder to shoulder with rivals like the Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8. Inside, there's lots of rear leg room, a mass of advanced features and top materials throughout. The latest PHEV versions let you drive short trips on electric power alone and deliver brisk acceleration for such a large car.
The new-era BMW 7 Series is loaded with the latest safety systems. You’ll get front and rear parking sensors, a full 360-degree camera, advanced automatic emergency braking, and lane assist. Used vehicles with the Driving Assistance Professional Pack offer adaptive cruise control and steering assistance to make motorway driving comfortable.
The latest 7 Series comes as a plug-in hybrid, with two options using a 3.0-litre petrol engine paired to an electric motor. The 750e xDrive offers 308bhp, while the quicker M760e xDrive gives you 375bhp. There's also a fully electric i7 version. Pre-2022 models come with a choice of petrol and diesel engines, including smooth 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder units.
Expect BMW’s iDrive infotainment system, combining a large 14.9-inch touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard, and there’s a rotary controller for easy menu access. Some high-end models have luxe rear-seat features like a theatre screen and Bowers & Wilkins surround sound.
Plug-in hybrid 7 Series models can officially do 256-282mpg, although you’ll only see those figures with a full battery and regular charging. In real-world driving, you get 30 to 40 miles of electric range, with petrol economy dropping when the battery runs low. Older diesels can return 35-45mpg.
Take a close look at the condition of the interior and electrics, as tech-heavy cars like this may show faults if neglected. Make sure all infotainment and comfort features work. Plug-in hybrid battery health is another important point. For reassurance, The AA Vehicle Inspection service includes comprehensive checks.
The latest cars in the 7 Series are too new to feature in reliability surveys, but BMW sits in the top 10 for brand reliability, ahead of Audi and Mercedes, but behind Lexus. Overall, a well-serviced 7 Series should go the distance, but tech complexity means records to prove regular servicing are especially worthwhile.
