Famous for a smooth drive and plush cabin, the 745 is ideal if you want space, status and strong long-distance ability. The BMW 745 stands out in the luxury class for its smooth drive, serious space, and a balance of performance, handling, and everyday comfort. The 7 Series line began in 1977 and has evolved through several generations, with the newest models being plug-in hybrids or fully electric. It offers many high-spec features as standard, such as adaptive suspension, big screens, and voice control, making it highly competitive against rivals like the Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8.
Newer BMW 745s come fitted with a full suite of driving aids, including automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control. There’s also a surround-view camera, multiple airbags and optional advanced systems like self-steering on the motorway. For added peace of mind, it's good to note that all models use BMW's latest safety tech even if they haven't yet been tested by Euro NCAP.
The latest BMW 745 in the UK is a plug-in hybrid (750e) pairing a 3.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for lively, refined power and a good electric-only range. Earlier generations include powerful V8 petrol engines. Always check which engine is in any used example as spec changes over time.
All recent BMW 745s deliver a high-tech cabin. You’ll find the BMW Curved Display (combining a digital cluster and 14.9-inch central touchscreen), wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice assistant, and a top-level sound system. Luxury extras, such as a rear-seat cinema screen and massaging seats, may be included on used models.
With plug-in hybrid power, official figures suggest the BMW 745 can return over 250mpg when fully charged. In real life (especially on long motorway journeys) expect 35–45mpg with regular charging. Older petrol models, like the V8s, manage far less, so this is something to keep in mind if you do high mileage.
Check software updates are current and plug-in hybrid models have had battery health checks. Inspect air suspension for wear and ensure all electrics (especially tech-heavy options) work as expected. For a thorough check, try The AA Vehicle Inspection before you buy.
BMWs, especially newer 7 Series models, generally offer good reliability, with the brand ranking ahead of main rivals like Audi and Mercedes in owner satisfaction. Hybrid tech is robust, but it’s still wise to confirm service and recall history with any used model.
