Grande berline de 5 places au coffre de 540 litres en 740d (Caradisiac), commercialisée depuis 2022. Génération trop récente pour disposer de retours de fiabilité publiés : nous n'en avons trouvé aucun. Un rappel du système de freinage intégré (IBS) vise les voitures produites de juin 2022 à août 2024 : faites vérifier le numéro de série avant l'achat.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • Emissions of the versions in this guide: 160 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults

Recent model: not enough hindsight yet (years, mileage) for faults to be publicly documented, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.

Manufacturer recalls

Manufacturer recall campaign, fixed free of charge at a dealer:

  • Système de freinage intégré (IBS) : rappel (740d xDrive 299, 750e xDrive 490)

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “BMW Série 7”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Faire vérifier par numéro de série chez BMW le rappel du système de freinage intégré (IBS) et sa réalisation.
  • Vérifier la garantie constructeur restante et ses conditions de transfert.
  • Essayer toutes les aides à la conduite et l'écran multimédia à l'essai.
  • Sur l'hybride rechargeable, demander l'état de la batterie haute tension et le câble de recharge.
  • Exiger le carnet d'entretien et l'historique d'accident.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Le rappel du système de freinage intégré a-t-il été effectué ? Avez-vous l'attestation ?
  • Quelle garantie constructeur reste-t-il et à quelles conditions est-elle transférable ?
  • Le véhicule a-t-il été entretenu en réseau BMW, avec factures ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
