edmunds TESTED
The BMW 750i offers astonishing power and an elite level of comfort. It neatly straddles the line between luxury and ultra-luxury with advanced technology and exceptional cabin comfort. Handling isn't its strongest suit, and its bold new exterior design — specifically the grille — might be an acquired taste, but there's no mistaking this for anything other than a sleek executive interstate missile.

Overview
The BMW 7 Series has been the flagship sedan of the brand for decades. It fits in the lineup above the 5 Series and alongside the 8 Series Gran Coupe. While the nomenclature makes it seem like the 8 Series Gran Coupe is a step up, it is slightly smaller and has less room inside than the 7 Series and doesn't offer an optional V12 engine. In 2020, the BMW 7 Series received a significant styling and features update and it heads into 2022 with no changes.
This 7 Series is one of Edmunds' top-ranked large luxury sedans. It is loaded with all the latest technology BMW has to offer and is impressively spacious and comfortable. If you're looking for alternatives, the 7 Series competes with the Audi A8, Genesis G90, Mercedes-Benz S Class and Porsche Panamera. All of these vehicles represent the pinnacle of their respective brand's luxury and technology.
Overall, we're impressed with the 7 Series' strong engines, technology and roomy cabin. Take a look at our detailed Expert Rating to learn more about why we rank it so highly.

Which 7 Series does Edmunds recommend?
The 2022 7 Series is available in a variety of trims and configurations. While the base 740i and its turbocharged inline-six offer solid performance and plenty of features, we think it's worth stepping up to the V8-powered 750i xDrive for the additional performance, useful head-up display and standard all-wheel drive.
BMW 7 Series models
The 2021 BMW 7 Series is available in five trim levels: 740i, 740i xDrive, 750i xDrive, 745e xDrive and M760i xDrive. The major difference between the trims comes down to the engine and the presence or not of all-wheel drive (called xDrive), though some features and options further separate the trims.
