Used BMW 740 for sale

All BMW 740s come with a suite of advanced safety tech as standard. Expect front and rear parking sensors, a clear 360-degree camera system and adaptive cruise control. There’s also lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and advanced driver monitoring. The Driving Assistant Professional pack is optional and brings more advanced semi-autonomous features, especially useful for heavy motorway use.

The latest BMW 740 is offered as a plug-in hybrid, combining a 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine and a powerful electric motor. This setup delivers plenty of smooth, rapid acceleration while helping to keep running costs predictable. Older models in the 7 Series range may include petrol or diesel engine choices – worth considering if you prefer conventional power.

Expect a large, curved digital display combining a 14.9-inch touchscreen and a digital driver display. Standard equipment includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation and advanced voice controls. A rotary controller helps you manage the sophisticated iDrive interface without being distracted. For rear passengers, options include a folding theatre screen and premium Bowers & Wilkins audio.

Plug-in hybrid BMW 740 models offer one of the best official mpg figures in the luxury segment – the latest can reach 256–282mpg on paper, with a real-world electric-only range of 30–40 miles depending on conditions. Older petrol versions return less, though still do well for their size and power.

Look for a full service history, updates to the infotainment system and check that rechargeable battery packs (in hybrids) hold their charge. Ensure that electronically-powered tech, seats and cameras work as intended. For total peace of mind, consider The AA Vehicle Inspection before you buy.

The current generation is too new for long-term data, but recent BMW models have shown better-than-average reliability in fleet surveys. The brand consistently ranks above rivals like Audi and Mercedes. Fewer moving parts in plug-in hybrids may help with lower running costs, but occasional electrical faults have been reported, so regular checks are wise.
