Thoughts On This Used 740i

Hey everyone, I have a friend who's dad is looking into possibly buying a BMW 740i. I know I know the 750 is better....I've been telling my friend to convince him that a 750 would be best for him but I don't really think his dad cares about the extra power and I don't believe he wants to spend too much because his dad would rather use his money for investments. So I found this used 2017 740i and I'd like your guys' thoughts on this car. Its a 1 owner car with a clean carfax was originally a lease vehicle and it looks to be fully loaded minus the optional headlights. Only thing that bugs me is that the car was ordered with a model designation delete but someone decided to slap on a M760i badge on the back like what? Also do all 2017+ 7 Series come with the display key? I've been seeing option code S3DSA BMW Display Key while decoding the vin of multiple different 2017 7 Series.

Here's the link to the car https://www.majormotorcars.com/used/...6c0fa8d430.htm

What do you guys think? Thanks!

Pretty good deal...if he can get it for $61-62,500 I think it's a great buy. Nice options!

Some very nice options on that car, however, I don't think it has adjustable rear seats, rear seat heating or cooling and no 'tablet'.

May not be a big thing but worth pointing out just in case. (the reason I say this is no buttons on the rear console for heating, no memory buttons on rear doors for the seats so assume they are missing (and no picture of the armrest being down).

If it comes with the remainder of the warranty and service package then should be okay, I'd be ensuring it wasn't in an accident.

Otherwise, get rid of the 760 badge and it is a nice car.

Safe travels

Yeah I don't think the executive rear seating is a big deal for his dad. He was looking at other 740i's with only standard features before I found this. And unfortunately BMW USA changed the terms for their maintenance program so free maintenance is non-transferrable to 2nd owners. I do believe the normal warranty is still included though. But this does look like a solid car we'll see if my friend's dad would want to go check it out or not.

Thanks for the replies by the way!
