Record summary
What to know first
740i uses the 375-hp turbo six; 750e xDrive is the plug-in hybrid at 449 hp with up to 35 miles of EV range; 760i xDrive is the flagship with a 536-hp V8. MY2027 brings a real interior/tech refresh (LCI) alongside the related i7, not a powertrain or trim-ladder change.
Model-year note
The 750e is a plug-in hybrid, not a V8; its 449-hp combined output is separate from the 760i V8's higher figure. The 2027 LCI refresh brings a cleaner exterior design and a fully redesigned dashboard built around next-gen infotainment: a 17.9-inch main touchscreen (shared with the Neue Klasse EVs) plus a BMW-first 14.6-inch front passenger screen, standard on every trim.
