Quick summary
- BMW dropped the 730 and 725 badges when the current 7 Series generation arrived in July 2022.
- American buyers choose between the 740i, the 750e plug-in hybrid, the V8 760i and three electric i7 models.
- Even the European range starts two steps higher than it used to, at the 740d xDrive diesel.
Short answer: there is no 2025 BMW 730 or 725, in any market. Those numbers belonged to the generation BMW built from 2015 to 2022, and the current car replaced them with a range that opens at 740. The 750i is gone for the same reason: the 750 badge now sits on a plug-in hybrid called the 750e xDrive. If you are shopping a 730d or a 725d, you are shopping a used car.
Is there a 2025 BMW 730 or 725?
No, and the cut-off is sharp. The previous 7 Series, built from July 2015 to 2022, offered a 730i and 730Li with a 2.0-liter four, a 730d and 730Ld with a 3.0-liter diesel six, and, until 2019, a 725d and 725Ld. Production of that car ended in 2022.
The generation that replaced it, launched the same year, carries no number below 735. Its published range runs 735i, 740i, 740d xDrive, 750e xDrive, M760e xDrive, 760i xDrive and the electric i7, and the facelift revealed in April 2026 for the 2027 model year keeps the same floor. So a search for a 2025 730 is a search for a car BMW stopped building three years earlier.
What the 2025 7 Series actually is in the US
Four names, plus the electric ones. The entry car is a 3.0-liter turbocharged six, the top petrol car a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, and in between sits a plug-in hybrid that pairs the same six with a battery. All of them take premium fuel, which on a forced-induction engine is about resisting knock rather than adding power — our octane guide goes through why.
| Model | Powertrain | EPA combined |
|---|---|---|
| 740i | 3.0-liter turbo six, rear drive | 28 mpg |
| 740i xDrive | 3.0-liter turbo six, all-wheel drive | 27 mpg |
| 750e xDrive | 3.0-liter turbo six plug-in hybrid | 25 mpg on petrol, 470-mile total range |
| 760i xDrive | 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 | 20 mpg |
| i7 eDrive50 | single motor, rear drive | 85 MPGe, 301 miles |
| i7 xDrive60 | twin motor | 83 MPGe, 296 miles |
| i7 M70 xDrive | twin motor, performance tune | 79 MPGe, 285 miles |
Electric ranges move with wheel size; the figures above are the 20-inch cars, except the M70, which EPA rates on 21s. The spread between the cheapest six and the V8 is eight mpg, which is a smaller gap than the badges suggest.
Where did the 750i go?
Into the plug. The old 750i and 750Li were V8 cars sold from 2016 to 2022. On the current model the same two digits appear on the 750e xDrive, which is a plug-in hybrid six, while the V8 moved up to the 760i xDrive badge. Someone searching “750i 2025” and finding a hybrid has not made a mistake; the number simply means something different now.
This is normal BMW practice rather than a one-off. The numbers have described the market position rather than the engine size for years, which is why BMW’s own engine codes are the reliable way to talk about hardware — the same reason enthusiasts argue about the N54 and N55 instead of about 335i model years.
What the rest of the world gets
Less choice than you might expect, and still nothing badged 730. Europe opened with the electric i7 only, then added the 740d xDrive diesel, the 750e xDrive and the M760e xDrive; according to BMWBlog, a pure-petrol European 7 Series did not arrive until the 2026 facelift brought the 740 xDrive. The 735i, meanwhile, is sold in markets such as Indonesia but in neither the US nor Europe.
Put together, that means the badge you can buy depends heavily on where you are standing — but nowhere does the list start at 730. If you want a current BMW with the lower numbers still intact, the smaller ranges keep them; our look at the 2025 X3 M covers one of them.
