You get a lot as standard so finding a good spec shouldn’t be too difficult, but ideally it would have Head up Display, Adaptive LEDs and HK Speakers. Anything else is a nice to have in my opinion, some may say adaptive cruise, but I’m not a big fan. It’s great in stop/start traffic, but I prefer normal cruise elsewhere.
The best option on mine is Executive Drive Pro, as it makes such a big difference to the way it drives, it’s a very rare (£2,500) option, but if you find one with it then get it bought quickly! The second best option is the B&W speakers, but they’re rare as well and the HK speakers are pretty good, they’re fine as long as you’re not used to a high end system in your current car. I had an LCI 740LD loan car for a week last year so it gave me a good opportunity to compare a few options. |

This is the spec of mine. I disagree about laserlights. I think they are fantastic but i live in the countryside so have a lot of dark roads.
2TB - Sport Auto Transmission 407 - Sky Lounge Panoramic Sunroof 453 - Seat Ventilation 5AZ - BMW Laserlights 6CP - Apple CarPlay 6U9 - BMW Touch Command 688 - Harman Kardon Speakers 420 - Sun Protection Glass NACY - Canberra Beige Nappa seats 610 - Head Up Display 7S5 - Pure Excellence interior 3E1 - Pure Excellence interior 27Z - 20" High Gloss polished wheels 4NM - Ambient Air ZAP - Advance Parking Package 4TZ - Massage Function 4HZ - Heat Comfort Pack Also has a display key for the remote parking. My must haves (which I would not take a car without) when searching for the car were: Head up Display Harman Kardon Adaptive LED xDrive Sport Auto Transmission Nice to haves but I’d take a car without were: Laserlights Apple Car Play Display Key Proper Nappa leather Rear Seat Entertainment Panoramic Roof Lumbar Support As you can see I got everything i wanted including all my nice to haves apart from rear seat entertainment. The kids have iPads though so it’s no issue. You just need to decide what is important to you. If you live in the countryside or do a lot of night driving like i do. Then Laserlights are awesome. So if you can find one with them within budget then don’t turn it down. |

Also, I'm fairly certain that the H&K stereo is standard on the 7-Series now.

H&K might be standard now. But it was an option on MY2018 (which is what mine is) and quite rare on cars I was looking at. Most had the BMW Speakers. |

The standard BMW speakers aren’t great.
It’s the adaptive / blanking functionality that’s not allowed in the USA, so even the previous generation adaptive LEDs have that switched off. I don’t know whether laser high beam is allowed? |

Laser have been allowed for a couple years already, with the first car being the i8. However, US regulations forced BMW to reduce the power of the headlights to about 60% of what they are in Europe.

The option I would put at the very top of the list is integrated active steering. The 4 wheel steering dramatically improves the manouverability of the 7 series and is something you will appreciate every single day. IAS is not something dealers order frequently so it takes looking hard (it is part of the autobahn package) or ordering.
