Hey, we said the latest generation, but that does not mean the facelift, which is only six months old. You see, the company debuted it earlier this year, and it managed to evade the Neue Klasse exterior design, just like the upcoming X7. Its front fascia looks like an evolution of its predecessor, it has a modified back end, and an entirely new interior that hasn’t escaped the Neue Klasse trend, as we are certain you already know.
You can check out the latest iteration of the BMW 7 Series, or LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) in the company’s slang, here if you want to know more about it. However, you may want to click that link after you keep reading about the pictured example, because this story is dedicated to it. You are looking at a 2025 model year car, as mentioned in the title, and it is in the 740i configuration, the vendor, @limitedpsec on Instagram, reveals.
This means that it features a 3.0-liter engine under the hood with forced induction. The gasoline burner produces 381 horsepower (386 ps/284 kW) between 5,200 and 6,250 rpm, and 384 pound-feet (520 Nm) of torque from 1,850 to 5,000 rpm. The model features an integrated starter generator, and hits 62 mph (100 kph) in a very respectable 5.4 seconds. As for the top speed, it is electronically limited to 155 mph (250 kph).

The pictured car sports an Alpine White paint finish complemented by the usual black bits and pieces, and appears to ride on the stock wheels. That’s good news for interested parties who are not into modded examples, because from what we can tell, this BMW 7 Series hasn’t been visited by the tuning fairy. The vendor also mentions additional gizmos, including the Shadowline blackout trim.
Other features include the glass controls on the inside, power curtains at the rear, black leather upholstery, black stitching and piping, a black headliner, the usual screens, ambient lighting, large foldable armrest at the rear, and a few other bits and bobs. The used car dealer behind the ad noted that there is no rear seat entertainment system on deck here, so occupants at the back will have to look out the window and talk to themselves. You know, the old-school way.
From what we can tell, there is nothing wrong with this BMW 7 Series, as it looks very good both inside and out. We cannot see any wear on the inside, not even on the driver’s seat outer bolsters. And that is rather surprising from a new-age machine, because it is a 2025 model year, as mentioned above. On top of that, it is not exactly a brand new car either, as the odometer read around 27,000 miles (~43,500 km) at the time of cataloging, the vendor reveals on social media.

Are you curious how much a 740i from the 2025 model year goes for in today’s used car market on our side of the world? One will have to prepare a minimum of $54,000 for this thing if they settle for a high-mileage example that is far from being perfect, and close to $85,000 for a barely driven one. The original MSRP was almost $98,500 for the rear-wheel drive, which is the configuration of the pictured car, and the xDrive all-wheel drive model was roughly $2,000 more expensive back then.
A fair purchase value is around $65,000 in today’s market, and you will probably be surprised to learn that in this case, the selling dealer isn’t asking an arm and a leg for the BMW 7 Series in question. In fact, this car has a very reasonable asking price, as at the time of writing, it was $61,980. And that’s below the average market value, as we already told you.
What new BMW would this sum get you today in the States? Well, a brand-new BMW X3 in the 30 xDrive configuration, for one, which has an MSRP of $51,300 attached to it. Or perhaps a base 5 Series, aka the 530i Sedan, which starts from $60,500. You shouldn’t dream about a 2027 7er, because the 740 kicks off at $99,800 with rear-wheel drive, and $102,800 for the xDrive all-wheel drive flavor. And yes, we are talking about the facelifted iteration, in case you forgot.
Now, assuming you had a budget of roughly $60,000 and the desire to get something big, spacious, luxurious, and without that many miles under its belt. Would the pictured 2025 BMW 740i make it to the top of the list? I think this is a lot of car for the money, and if you want to make it yours, then you should reach out to the vendor on social media.
