BMW Australia has revealed local pricing and specifications for the heavily updated 7 Series luxury sedan, which will launch in the fourth quarter of 2026. Revealed in April, the updated 7 Series introduces new styling, new features, more driving range for the electric i7 and a new dashboard layout with three screens. Pricing starts at $277,900 plus on-road costs for the 740 and $306,900 +ORC for the i7.

The exterior of the new 7 Series has received subtle but effective changes, including revised lighting elements, an updated grille and new wheel designs. BMW has also expanded the customisation options for the 7 Series with new paint finishes and a $16,500-optional two-tone exterior.

Inside, the 7 Series receives a new dashboard layout, including the panoramic screen below the windscreen from the new iX3, while there’s also a new 17.9-inch central touchscreen with the brand’s latest Operating System X software.
