BMW 7 Series (2015-2022) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Sharper to drive than most luxury cars	Doesn't ride with the serenity of a Mercedes S-Class
Slick iDrive infotainment system	Plain looks and an ungainly grille
Huge rear-seat space in long-wheelbase versions	Complex technology could land used 7 Series owners with a big bill

Quick Summary

The BMW 7 Series (2015-2022), known as the G11 model, is a luxury limousine that combines lavish interiors with extensive equipment. Offering 515 litres of boot space and available long-wheelbase versions with an extra 14cm between the wheels, it provides ample room for passengers and luggage. The range includes three petrol and two diesel engines, plus a plug-in hybrid option, all paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Most buyers choose the 328bhp 3.0-litre petrol turbo 740i or the 282bhp 3.0-litre turbodiesel 730d, both delivering hushed, effortless progress with air suspension as standard.

The 7 Series delivers composed handling and impressive grip, never feeling as heavy or vast as its dimensions suggest. Inside, beautiful materials and the slick iDrive entertainment system create a classy environment, though the dashboard design is somewhat ordinary compared to rivals. Three core versions are available: the base model, the more luxurious Exclusive, and the sporty M Sport. The 730d achieves around 45mpg in real-world driving, whilst petrol versions are considerably thirstier, with the 740i averaging around 30mpg. However, the 7 Series feels just a step behind its competitors in comfort, discretion, and sense of occasion.

Best for: Buyers seeking a sharply engineered luxury saloon with excellent rear-seat space, particularly in long-wheelbase versions, and those who value the slick iDrive infotainment system.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising the serene ride quality of a Mercedes S-Class, buyers concerned about complex technology repair costs, or those seeking distinctive styling and presence.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 7 Series if: You seek a sharply engineered luxury saloon with excellent rear-seat space, particularly in long-wheelbase versions, and value the slick iDrive infotainment system.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the serene ride quality of a Mercedes S-Class, are concerned about complex technology repair costs, or seek distinctive styling and presence.

Competitive Position: The BMW 7 Series (2015-2022) is a competent luxury saloon that delivers sharp handling and impressive engineering. However, it feels just a step behind its competitors in overall refinement, comfort, and sense of occasion. Whilst the Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers superior ride serenity and the Audi A8 boasts exceptional user satisfaction, the 7 Series remains a solid choice for those prioritising driving dynamics and technology. The Range Rover offers better value for money. This is a good car, but its rivals are great ones.
