Most BMWs are designed to be driven, but if you're considering a 7 Series intending to be behind the wheel frequently, you might be better suited with an 8 Series Gran Coupe or a 5 Series, which are more driver-focused. Sure, driving the 2022 BMW 740i is enjoyable, but it's in the rear seats that you appreciate how good it is as a luxury sedan. It's luxurious in every way you could think of, with captain chairs for each occupant and a wealth of features as well. However, we wish BMW had offered the 31-inch 8K TV as an option in the ICE-powered 7 Series as they do in the BMW i7. There's so much to say about the 740i's in-cabin amenities, but before we dive into that, let's first explore what's under the hood.
Performance is rarely the first consideration with luxury sedans, and with their understated design, you'd hardly guess what's under the hood unless you check or spot a badge. Nobody would ever know that the 2022 BMW 740i has a 3.0-liter inline six. But as heavy as the car might seem (it weighs approximately 4,400 pounds), the 335 horsepower and 332 lb.ft from the engine is more than enough to get moving. 0-60 takes 5.3 seconds, which is decent enough, and the top speed maxes out at 155 mph. Again, none of these numbers matter, as it's the luxury inside that does.
The best way to step into a 2022 BMW 740i is through one of the rear doors. This allows you to experience the comfort and luxury of the second row while taking in the sweeping view of the cabin's front part, which stunningly suits the car. What we love most is the massive center console in some examples that separates the cabin in half, stretching from the dashboard to the rear seats, where it compartmentalizes into cupholders, a mini fridge, and an armrest. In some units, there's even a Samsung tablet mounted on it that controls rear seat functions, including air conditioning and the screens mounted behind the front seats. Speaking of the seats, all are dappered in leather that extends to the doors and center console, creating a sense of uniform luxury. Subtle aluminum and gloss black finishes complement the leather, which adds an industrial feel.
A luxurious car should be grand, and the 2022 BMW 740i perfectly fits that description. Its size is enough to give it attention even amongst more premium competitors, and its gleaming chrome details ensure it remains in the spotlight. However, the design doesn't have the amount of chrome that would make you want to black out every detail, as BMW used it conservatively, only highlighting some key features, for example, the grille, window surrounds, and side skirts. The car sits low, but it isn't aimed at enhancing sportiness or aerodynamics; instead, it aims to evoke elegance and grandeur. The front is bold as it should be, but the rear end is minimalistic, just as understated luxury should be.
There's a lot that the 2022 BMW 740i has, but we'll just touch on some of the interior highlights since it's a luxury sedan. Some of the in-cabin amenities you get include a panoramic moonroof, quad-zone climate control, and heated front and rear seats, which in some models have massaging functions for both rows. However, the front seats have 14-way electric multi-adjustability and a memory function, which were part of the standard equipment package. The infotainment display on the dash is a 10.2-inch touchscreen that incorporates navigation, Wi-Fi Connectivity, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, voice and gesture recognition, plus satellite and HD radio. Additionally, the compartment underneath some units has a wireless charging pad. For sound, BMW offered a Harman Kardon audio system as standard, and buyers could pay more for a premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system. There's more, but let's talk pricing now.
