The BMW 7 SERIES (2002-08) 740I 4DR SALOON 4.0 AUTO is a large luxury saloon, offering four-door practicality with the comfort and presence of a flagship car. In the UK used market, it competes with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8, rather than mainstream hatchbacks or SUVs: a distinctly upmarket choice. Across 63 mycarcheck.com look-ups, 23 distinct VINs were seen, with an average private-sale valuation of £2,600. The cars averaged 116,000 miles and around 3,000 miles a year, while recorded keepers averaged just over five. These figures describe checked examples, not a guarantee for any individual car or its future condition. This BMW 740i suits drivers seeking a spacious car for long trips and an alternative to a family saloon; it is less suited to first-time drivers or tight budgets, as age and luxury-car upkeep merit close inspection. Its smooth, relaxed character and cabin are the appeal, while fuel economy is not its strength.
