The BMW 7 SERIES (2002-08) 735I 4DR SALOON 3.6 SPORT AUTO is a large executive saloon, placing it in the UK’s luxury-car market rather than the family-hatchback class. It combines passenger comfort and an automatic gearbox with a sportier character than many chauffeur-focused rivals. mycarcheck.com has recorded two checks covering two different VINs, so the figures are a small snapshot, not a broad picture of all examples. The average private-sale valuation was £1,900; average latest recorded mileage was 137,000, with annual mileage of 4,000. Cars had an average 5.5 previous keepers. Typically, it’s best for drivers who value relaxed long-distance journeys, a roomy cabin and a commanding presence, rather than first-time motorists or anyone prioritising low running costs. Compared with Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8 rivals, this BMW 7 Series is known for pairing luxury with a more engaging, sporty feel. Check service history and budget carefully for upkeep, too.
