The BMW 7 SERIES (2008-13) 740I 4DR SALOON LWB 3.0 326 AUTO is a large, long-wheelbase luxury saloon, sitting near the top of the UK used-car market. It pairs a smooth petrol engine and automatic transmission with extra rear-seat space, making it a more comfort-focused choice than an ordinary family saloon. mycarcheck.com records 34 look-ups covering 14 distinct vehicles, so the figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a complete market picture. These checks show an average private-sale valuation of £6,600 and average recorded mileage of 76,000 miles. Average annual mileage is 4,000, while cars had about 3.6 previous keepers overall. Best suited to executives, chauffeur-style use and buyers wanting relaxed long-distance travel, the 740i works for families who value passenger room, though its size and running costs may not suit everyone. Against Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8 rivals, it stands out as a refined, well-equipped BMW with understated presence.
