The BMW 7 SERIES (2002-08) 730LI 4DR SALOON 3.0 SE AUTO LWB REV 05 is a large luxury saloon for the UK’s executive-car market. Its long-wheelbase body offers rear passengers extra room, and its automatic gearbox favours relaxed, comfortable travel. This is a premium choice, not a small or economical runabout. mycarcheck.com has recorded 26 checks covering 12 different VINs, a useful but modest sample. Across those vehicles, average recorded mileage is 106,000 miles, with average annual use of 4,000 miles. The average private-sale valuation is £2,500, while cars have had about 4.8 previous keepers on average; individual cars can vary. Best for buyers wanting a spacious luxury car for longer journeys or chauffeur duties, it is less suited to new drivers or those seeking low costs. The 730Li’s roomy, refined feel distinguishes it from the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8, but check a used example’s condition and history carefully before buying.
