About the BMW 7 Series F02

The BMW 7 Series (F02, 2009–2015) is the long-wheelbase version of the fifth-generation flagship, adding 140mm of extra length specifically to transform the rear cabin into a private lounge. In the 2026 Australian market, the F02 is the definitive choice for a buyer pool that values "passenger-first" luxury, often serving as a high-end chauffeured vehicle or a flagship family cruiser. While the global range included the ActiveHybrid 7L and various diesels, the Australian market focused on the 740Li (straight-six), the 750Li (V8), and the pinnacle 760Li (V12). This generation was a technological pioneer, being the first BMW to feature an 8-speed automatic transmission across the board and the updated iDrive system. Market values in Australia have significantly depreciated from their original quarter-million-dollar price tags, with well-kept 740Li models now trading between $28,000 and $45,000 AUD, while the thundering 760Li V12 fetches a premium of $65,000 to $85,000 AUD. Desirability is highest for the 2012–2015 LCI (facelift) models, which corrected many early-model electronic glitches and added the more reliable N55 engine to the 740Li. For local buyers, a documented history of rear air suspension replacement and N63 V8 oil-consumption fixes is mandatory to maintain a resale premium, as these remain the primary concerns for collectors looking to secure a "blue-chip" example of this modern-era flagship.
