The BMW 7 SERIES (2002-08) 735LI 4DR SALOON 3.6 SE AUTO LWB is a long-wheelbase luxury saloon, rather than a family hatchback or SUV. It sits at the top of BMW’s range, built for comfort and presence, competing with executive flagships such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8. Its spacious rear cabin and smooth, relaxed automatic make it suited to business travel, long-distance journeys or owners prioritising comfort over low costs. SE trim feels upmarket, while the extended body adds rear legroom. It is less suited to tight city parking or budget-conscious commuting. mycarcheck.com’s sample is very small: two look-ups covering one VIN, so figures are indicative, not a market-wide picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,300, recorded mileage of 152,000 and eight previous keepers; average annual mileage was 1,000. Its standout appeal is flagship comfort and road presence, though age and upkeep deserve close attention.
