The BMW 7 SERIES (2008-13) 740I 4DR SALOON LWB 3.0 326 EU5 M SPORT AUTO6 is a long-wheelbase luxury saloon, sitting near the top of BMW’s UK range. It is aimed at buyers wanting executive comfort and presence rather than an inexpensive runabout, and competes with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8. With its stretched cabin, refined finish and M Sport styling, the 740i pairs a purposeful look with a comfortable ride and petrol performance. It suits business travel, long-distance trips and owners who value rear-seat space, but its size and running costs make it less practical for city driving or budget motoring. mycarcheck.com has recorded four checks across three VINs, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £5,600, 74,000 miles, 7,000 miles annually and two previous keepers. Check each car’s history and condition carefully before buying this used BMW.
