Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Optimised urban and peri-urban trips with no charging to manage. 2nd of 10 in Power-to-weight (182 hp/t).
Less suitable for
Home charging access not leveraged. If you have a dedicated outlet, a PHEV would allow daily commutes in pure electric mode.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw 760i xDrive (1st with 4.2 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Bmw 760i xDrive (1st with 250 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 5.4 s 0-100 (10th of 10 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the 740i ranks 10th of 10 in 0–100 km/h, 1.2 s off the reference Bmw 760i xDrive (4.2 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (7th of 10 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 250 km/h.

Frequently asked questions
BMW 740i: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
The Bmw 760i xDrive leads in 0–100 km/h (4.2 s vs 5.4 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 740i vs Bmw 760i xDrive duel for a detailed comparison.
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
