What condition are these 740es in?

About 2 lots, 0% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads at 100%. Ask about the hybrid battery's condition and check the interior options against the listing photos.

Is a salvage 740e worth buying?

It depends heavily on the hybrid system and how complete the interior is. A lot with a healthy battery, an intact drivetrain and light cosmetic damage can be a real find on a car this well-equipped; unknown battery history after a flood or hard hit is a bigger gamble. There isn't a reliable make-wide price to anchor to for a low-volume flagship like this.

What should I check before bidding?

Get the plug-in hybrid battery and electric motor checked by a technician who works on BMW's hybrid system specifically, and confirm the executive interior options – massaging seats, rear sunshades, upgraded sound – are present and undamaged.

Can I insure and register a salvage 740e?

Not while it's salvage-titled. You register and insure it only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection, and the shop doing the rebuild should be qualified to sign off on high-voltage repairs. Check with your insurer before you bid.

How do I check a 740e's history before bidding?

Every lot lists the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report, and ask about any hybrid battery service records where they're available.

What are good alternatives to the 740e?

Cross-shop the Genesis G90 or the Audi A8 for the same flagship-sedan segment, or look at BMW's other plug-in option, the compact i3 , at the opposite end of the lineup.

The 740e was BMW's plug-in-hybrid flagship, pairing a turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor and standard all-wheel drive under the iPerformance badge, riding on the same long-wheelbase platform as the combustion 740i of its generation. Front End is the most common damage type here, at 100%. Lots move through in very small numbers, so there's no reliable model-specific price to anchor to; condition, mileage and the hybrid battery's health matter far more than any average would. Most of these stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.

Putting a turbo four rather than a six or eight under the hood of a full-size flagship was unusual, and the electric motor and battery pack are there to make up the difference in a straight line while cutting fuel use around town. Any 740e that's been in a flood or a hard rear-end hit needs the high-voltage battery inspected by a technician certified on BMW's hybrid system before you plan on driving it – a general shop shouldn't make that call alone. Because these came loaded with the same executive options as the standard 7 Series – massaging rear seats, rear sunshades, upgraded sound – a stripped or missing-trim lot is worth less than the base price might suggest, so inventory the interior against the listing photos before you bid.

Buying is quick: register free – no dealer license – set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.

Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
