2025 BMW 7 Series 760i xDrive Sedan Exterior Shown

+18

The 2025 BMW 7 Series is the top sedan in BMW's lineup, a quintessential flagship that takes its comfort and space as seriously as it does its technology. Top trims are outrageously quick, and every variant comes with a height-adjustable air suspension with adaptive dampers. Drivers are coddled by an available hands-free driving system, while rear passengers can enjoy the optional 31-inch 8K theater screen.Read full review

The 7 Series is BMW's top dog, the flagship sedan that goes toe to toe with the world's best luxury people movers. It's available with multiple powertrains beginning with a wholly capable turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder. There's also a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 and a plug-in hybrid powertrain built around the 3.0-liter six. And that doesn't count the fully electric i7 sedan, which we review separately. Awash in tech and convenience features, even the base 7 Series, the 740i, offers heated front and rear seats, four-zone climate control, and a height-adjustable air suspension with adaptive dampers.

Edmunds spotlight: Not-so-little luxuries

Newly standard for 2025 in the 740i and the plug-in hybrid 750e xDrive trims is BMW's panoramic Sky Lounge LED roof. It's a massive glass panel that can be covered from below and is surrounded by color-changing LED lights. And, like many luxury features, it's purely gratuitous. But it's these unnecessary yet stunning flourishes that make big luxury sedans what they are, caricatures of themselves in many ways. Other fantastic luxuries offered on the 7 Series include BMW Individual — a personalized paint color program that allows buyers to customize their 7 Series in a near limitless number of colors. There's an available 31-inch 8K screen for rear passengers that offers built-in Amazon Fire TV and 5G connectivity and glass controls for the infotainment control knob, shift selector and stop-start button. It's these details that help create the 7's identity, separating it from other BMWs and its competition.

Competitors to consider

There are four direct competitors to the 7 Series, though that line is beginning to blur as electrified luxo-barges like the Mercedes EQS invade this realm. But the gas-powered Mercedes S-Class is the most iconic and well-established 7 Series rival. It is also, historically, the most advanced car in the world, so it should certainly be considered. Other considerations? Audi's A8, the Genesis G90 and the Lexus LS 500.

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2025 BMW 7 Series on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

8/10

How does the 7 Series drive? We tested the top dog of the 7 Series lineup, the 536-hp 760i xDrive. At our test track, it ripped from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. There's also loads of power for passing on the highway, though we noticed in routine city driving the 760i could seem a little lethargic at low speeds. But in general, buyers should be easily satisfied with any 7 Series, including the 740i or the 750e plug-in hybrid.

The 7 Series also feels more agile than expected for a car of this size, with powerful braking and some handling chops to go with it. The steering effort is light, but at no point does the 7 Series feel sloppy or imprecise. There's also an available rear-wheel steering system that helps to shrink the car's turning radius and make lane changes more nimble.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the 7 Series? The front and rear seats are remarkably comfortable. The available Rear Executive Lounge Seating package allows the rear seats to recline almost fully via small touchpads on the rear doors. The touchpads also allow passengers to turn on the seat heating, ventilation and massage functions. (The latter two are found in the Luxury Rear Seating package.) The only caveat is that the vents feel a bit underpowered for the fan speed setting you're on, but the cabin still cools or heats up quickly. You also have lots of options to split temperature and fan speed for different parts of the vehicle.

An auto-leveling air suspension is standard across the 7 Series lineup. Our test car also featured a road preview system that can read the road ahead of you and prepare the car to handle any bumps or potholes that are coming up. But like the issues we had with the throttle at low speeds, the suspension doesn't quite sort things out until you get going. From a stop, the car tilts back too far as you accelerate and it creates a swaying motion as things rebalance. While this vehicle rides better than the vast majority of vehicles, it feels a step behind the S-Class and its own stablemate, the electric i7, when it comes to delivering a smooth, isolating ride.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The 7 Series interior can look a bit busy with its screens and crystalized trim pieces, but the finishing and materials all feel suitably impeccable. The available automatic doors are cool and can be opened with a quick press of a button from inside or out. And once you hop into the driver's seat and put your foot on the brake to turn the car on, the door will close by itself. Once in the seat, it's easy to find a perfect driving position that allows you to see the standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster in its entirety. The 7 Series offers way more room than you'd ever need.

Large windows give the sedan good visibility in most directions, except for the rear window, which is a little short. That can get further blocked off if you lower the available 31-inch theater screen for backseat passengers. The screen descends from the ceiling like it's being lowered in by helicopter and it takes up nearly the entire field of view of the rear passengers. It's incredibly sharp. You'll need a data subscription from BMW to stream content, but there's also an HDMI plug if you want to play your own lineup while on the go. And thankfully, the 7 Series' many camera views make getting around tight spaces even with the screen down much easier.

Build & Price

Technology

9/10

How’s the tech? The touchscreen is canted slightly toward the driver, making it easier to reach, which is a necessity given how wide it is. There's also a centralized wheel controller if you're too lazy to lift an arm up. Using this system takes some learning because there are a lot of menus and it can be tricky to find what you're looking for and to set up the car to your liking. Thankfully, the voice recognition system is excellent and can be used to control car functions. That became our default way to find or change things before diving into the system more deeply.

As a part of the Rear Executive Lounge Seating package, you get a pair of displays for the rear seats (one on each door) that control the various seat functions. Those screens are easy to use, and every function is one or two presses away. The available 31-inch theater screen with 8K resolution drops down from the ceiling, which gives the 7 Series lineup a unique party trick. It's powered by Amazon Fire and requires a data plan from BMW for streaming, but there's also an HDMI plug for connecting a game console or a laptop if you'd rather use it that way.

Our test vehicle also came with BMW's available Highway Assistant, which allows for hands-free driving up to 85 mph. The system works as advertised, keeping the 7 Series well centered in the lane and slowing down and accelerating smoothly. The surround-view camera system is very high-resolution and offers a variety of camera views, helping you to navigate this behemoth in tight spaces more safely.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The 7 Series' trunk is large and has enough space to fit a few pieces of luggage or golf clubs with ease. Interior storage is less impressive. A tiny center console bin and small door bins leave little room for your small items. There's not really a good place to store anything larger than a smartphone, so larger items will have to be left out or in the glovebox where they can't be easily reached.

The 7 Series also makes it a bit difficult to install a child safety seat. The rear seating area is enormous, which is nice, and the lower anchors are easy to access. But attaching a strap to the top anchor points is cumbersome because the tall and wide headrests get in the way.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The 740i with its smaller engine gets an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in combined driving with rear-wheel drive or 27 mpg combined with all-wheel drive. The car we tested, the 760i xDrive, comes in at an estimated 20 mpg. We were able to beat that number on our test route with an observed mpg of 24.0 mpg in a mix of city/highway driving. For a big sedan with a V8, this is pretty good. BMW also sells the 750e, a plug-in hybrid, that gets the best fuel economy of the lineup.

Value

7.5/10

Is the 7 Series a good value? It's hard to consider something a good value at these prices. But in the case of this flagship sedan, we think you're getting your money's worth. The cabin's quality lives up to the price tag and it's available with some features (like that theater screen) that you won't be able to find anywhere. Just be wary of the options because they can make the price rise in a hurry. BMW's warranty is comparable with coverage of most luxury brands.

Wildcard

8/10

In the looks department (on the outside at least), the 7 Series suffers. It looks overly beefy in a weird way, with a strangely high beltline and awkward proportions. But once one of those doors opens for you automatically and you slide inside, you thankfully can't see the exterior and instead are enveloped by a high-class interior with enough leather to cover the inside of a private jet.

Which 7 Series does Edmunds recommend?

The 740i is, in our minds, the best value of the 7 Series lineup. Its turbocharged six-cylinder motivates it adequately, it's the least expensive variant, and it offers optional all-wheel drive. The plethora of stand-alone options allow à la carte upgrading to convenience and comfort features, many of which aren't standard on even the top-trim 760i xDrive.

BMW 7 Series models

BMW doesn't offer the 2025 7 Series in trim levels and instead divides the lineup by powertrain: 740i, 740i xDrive, 750e xDrive and 760i xDrive. Standard and optional equipment are broadly the same across the lineup. Only the 740i offers a choice between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The 750e and 760i have standard all-wheel drive. Major features include:

740i xDrive
This version of the 7 Series adds all-wheel drive but comes with the same standard features as the 740i.

750e xDrive
The plug-in hybrid 7 Series bolsters the 740i's turbocharged inline-six with a potent electric motor. The result is:

483 hp, 516 lb-ft
Up to 33 miles of electric range (BMW estimate)
All-wheel drive
