Used 2022 BMW 7 Series Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

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.

740i and 740i xDrive
The base 740i is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine (335 hp, 331 lb-ft) and sends power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 740i xDrive is the same but with all-wheel drive. Standard feature highlights for both models include:

  • Adaptive air suspension
  • LED headlights
  • 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • 10.25-inch infotainment screen with navigation
  • Apple CarPlay smartphone integration (late availability for Android Auto)
  • Heated front seats, armrests and steering wheel
  • 16-way power-adjustable front seats
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-sliding panoramic glass roof

The 7 Series also comes with:

  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the 7 Series and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Blind-spot monitoring (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Lane departure warning (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Forward collision mitigation (applies the brakes automatically to stop the vehicle to avoid or minimize a collision)

745e xDrive
This is the plug-in hybrid 7 Series variant. It pairs a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with an electric motor and battery pack for a combined 389 hp. It also improves fuel economy and offers an estimated 16 miles of all-electric driving. Features mirror those on the 740i xDrive, including all-wheel drive, although the 745e xDrive has unique interior accents.

750i xDrive
The 750i xDrive has a more powerful turbocharged V8 (523 hp, 553 lb-ft) and standard all-wheel drive. It has everything on the 740i plus:

  • Head-up display
  • Premium leather upholstery

M760i xDrive
The M760i xDrive is the range-topping model. It's powered by a turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 (601 hp, 627 lb-ft) and all-wheel drive comes standard. The M760i xDrive is loaded with features, including:

  • 20-inch wheels with performance tires
  • Faux suede headliner
  • Laminated glass for a quieter interior
  • Massaging, heated and ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable, heated rear seats

Optional packages
The 7 Series is available with a number of option packages that bundle additional features together.

Autobahn package

  • Rear-wheel steering for better handling and a tighter turning circle
  • Upgraded adaptive suspension that preemptively adjusts to match road conditions

Driving Assistance Professional package

  • Adaptive cruise control with enhanced highway driving aids
  • Improved lane keeping assist system

Luxury Rear Seating package

  • Power-adjustable, ventilated rear seats
  • Massaging rear seats
  • Rear-mounted tablet for control media and more

Which 7 Series trim 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.
