Comments from the seller
Once upon a motorway, there was a car that decided it was done pretending to be ordinary. That car is this 2016 BMW 740Li G12 – the long-wheelbase 7 Series that quietly whispers, “You’re not just going from A to B… you’re being chauffeured there by your better life choices.”
Under the bonnet, you’ve got a 3.0-litre engine producing a very healthy 240 kW – not the shouty, look-at-me kind of power, but the refined, effortless surge that presses you gently into the leather and makes overtaking feel like changing your mind. With only 71,XXX km on the clock, it’s barely warmed up; this is the automotive equivalent of someone who’s had a gym membership for years but only just started going.
You open the door (keyless, naturally), sink into the electric front seat, hit the memory button and – click – everything glides into your preferred position like the car already knows what kind of day you’ve had. Press the starter and the 7 Series wakes up politely, no histrionics, just a smooth idle and a very clear message: “Where to, then?”
On a cold morning, you close the door, let the soft-close mechanism do its thing, tap the adaptive cruise control and waft onto the motorway. The head-up display floats your speed and directions neatly in your line of sight, the GPS and inbuilt hard drive quietly handling the ‘where’ while you focus on the ‘ahhh’. Rear air conditioning keeps the back seats civilised, and the cooled centre console is ready for whatever beverage helps you cope with traffic.
Of course, this big BMW also behaves like a very paranoid yet competent co-pilot. Forward collision warning is constantly watching the road ahead. High-speed crash avoidance with braking stands by to save you from other people’s bad decisions. Lane departure warning gently reminds you if you start decorating the lane markings. Blind spot sensors keep an eye on the neighbours, while the side and front vision cameras, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors and park assist all conspire to make you look like a parking genius, even in that tiny underground car park you pretend to hate.
Six airbags, including driver and side airbags, plus ABS and brake assist, are all quietly on duty in the background. It’s like travelling with an invisible safety team that never complains about the music.
Then there’s the good-life garnish. Slide back the powered sunroof on a clear day and let the light in. LED headlamps carve a clean path through the night. The leather steering wheel feels just right in your hands, the electric power steering makes low-speed manoeuvres effortless, and front and rear power windows and remote central locking do exactly what they should without needing applause.
Remote navigation door unlocking is one of those features you don’t think you need until the day you really, really do – the car letting you in and helping you find your way even before you’ve fully located your keys, your bag, or your sanity.
In short, this 2016 BMW 740Li G12 isn’t just “a car for sale”. It’s a rolling office, lounge, and sanctuary, designed for someone who appreciates comfort, technology, and a bit of drama-free power. If you’re ready for your commute, your trips, and your weekends to feel like you’ve been upgraded to business class, this is your seat.
