- 2021 BMW 7 Series 730D - Review and Test Drive
The BMW 7 Series has a long and illustrious history as the pinnacle of BMW luxury for almost 50 years. Today, we take a look at one of the latest iterations using BMW's most modern technology, and compare it to it's "compatriots" in the Mercedes S Class and cough*Rolls-Royce and Bentley*cough offerings... (Don't hate, it's a joke!!)

The BMW 7 Series is a full-size luxury sedan produced by the German automaker BMW since 1977. It is the successor to the BMW E3 "New Six" sedan and is currently in its sixth generation.
The 7 Series is BMW's flagship car and is only available in a sedan bodystyle (including long wheelbase and limousine models). It traditionally introduces technologies and exterior design themes before they trickle down to other models in BMW's lineup.
The first generation of the 7 Series was powered by straight-6 petrol engines, and following generations have been powered by inline-4, straight-6, V8 and V12 engines with both natural aspiration and turbocharging. Since 1995, diesel engines have been optional in the 7 Series.
Unlike the 3 Series and 5 Series sedans, BMW has not produced a M model for the 7 Series (i.e. an "M7"). However, in 2014 an "M Performance" option became available for the 7 Series. The Alpina B7 serves as the only high-performance variant of the 7 Series.
The G11/G12 is the sixth generation of 7 Series, which has been in production since 2015. It was revealed on June 10, 2015 at BMW's headquarters in Munich. An official public reveal took place at the 2015 International Motor Show Germany.
G11 is the codename for the short-wheelbase model, the extended wheelbase model is codenamed G12 and designated with an additional L letter.
The G11/G12 is the first car lineup of BMW Group to be based on the modular OKL platform (Oberklasse, German for luxury class). The OKL platform adopts technology first introduced in BMW i models, namely the introduction of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer as structural chassis components.
As part of BMW's strategy of introducing plug-in hybrid variants for all future car models, both, the short and long-wheelbase models will be available with hybrid powertrains under the designations 740e and 740Le in 2016.
The facelift appeared in 2019.
Great vid Buddy, watching in 2024.. Would be great to see a side by side vid with the S Class
First class review as usual. Hope you have a great new year 👍
Thank you very much Raymond - very happy nee year to you too! 🥳🏎
2021 off to a great start 😍😍😍
Lots of exciting content coming in 2021... watch this space and a very happy new year to you! 🎉🏎
Saw this video recently as I’d like to buy a 7 series in next few years, love this version, and enjoyed your review. Hope you’re able to review the new bmw 7 series. I hear the uk will only be able to buy the electric versions
It has the new hybrid engine but no mention. ! Autonomous drive all the time.
Hi Colin, thanks your comment. Yes, it's the mild hybrid engine, which is extremely smooth and refined. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
This car is MHEV?
MHEV is available with the new 7 series product, however I don't believe this particular example featured this technology.
Thanks for your comment and for watching!
@@TheCarDiaries Thank u~!
@@pikachu09110 most BMW’s and Audis have this, it’s not really worth talking about as it doesn’t do much noticeable. For example the A6 has it and it’s not really like you know. And the MPG isn’t impressive. The 730D in my opinion is better for that.
Very good until something goes wrong....
They're very reliable! :)
@@TheCarDiaries They are not.
What BMW needs more than anything is build a reliable car, BMW cars have a lot of issues and the design is not the issue, the reliability is the issue in every BMW from 2004 for the 5series and 2002 for the 7series.
What are the reliability issues from 2020 onwards? 🤔
@@Nirsterkur At best 25% better, my independent mechanic, who works on BMW's only told don't buy any more bimmer's, and never ever a bmw v8. The V8 are all very bad after 80,000 miles.
@@ig6894 I'm always back and forth with Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz. Hopefully I'll start my journey with the entry level soon...
@@Nirsterkur Audi's are great
Cars to drive especially the V6 models. But they are not reliable. Mercedes S Class from 2010 are reliable and not so pricey. Audi's and BMW'S are troublesome.
@@ig6894 I had a mercedes e63 and rejected after one week... suspension issues and god awful crabbing when manouvering at low speeds. Mercedes are shockingly unreliable. I've owned an M3 (F80), BMW 520D xDrive (G30) and now G11 7 series. Not a single issue between any of them to report....
What accent is this? 😂 omg its so bad hah
Thank you very much 😀
