EPA rates the 2022 BMW 7 Series's 6 trims from 16 to 25 MPG combined, M760i xDrive Sedan to 740i Sedan. Electric and plug-in trims show MPGe and kWh per 100 miles. The table below prices every trim per mile at a fuel price and mileage you can change.
EPA ratings by trim

City and highway are EPA's adjusted label figures; combined is the 55/45 blend printed on the window sticker. For electric and plug-in trims the MPG columns are MPGe, and the kWh per 100 miles is the figure a charging cost actually turns on; EPA measures it at the wall, so charging losses are already in it. Unrounded combined figures, where EPA publishes them: 740i Sedan 24.5219; 740i xDrive Sedan 22.8623; 745e xDrive 21.8005; 750i xDrive Sedan 19.4466; Alpina B7 xDrive 19.4466; M760i xDrive Sedan 15.5255.
What the rating costs per mile
The rating divided by a price, times your miles. It starts at EIA's current U.S. averages and EPA's 15,000 miles so the right-hand column is comparable; type your own pump price, home rate and mileage over them.
| Trim | Runs on | Rated | Per mile | Per year | EPA's figure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 740i Sedan | Premium Gasoline | 25 MPG | 17.1¢ | $2,570 | $3,300 |
| 740i xDrive Sedan | Premium Gasoline | 23 MPG | 18.6¢ | $2,794 | $3,550 |
| 745e xDrive — on gasoline | Premium Gasoline | 22 MPG | 19.5¢ | $2,921 | $3,750 |
| 745e xDrive — on electricity | Electricity | 60 kWh/100 mi | 10.9¢ | $1,634 | — |
| 750i xDrive Sedan | Premium Gasoline | 19 MPG | 22.5¢ | $3,382 | $4,350 |
| Alpina B7 xDrive | Premium Gasoline | 19 MPG | 22.5¢ | $3,382 | $4,350 |
| M760i xDrive Sedan | Premium Gasoline | 16 MPG | 26.8¢ | $4,016 | $5,150 |
Per mile = price ÷ rated MPG (gasoline) or price per kWh × kWh per 100 miles ÷ 100 (electricity). Per year = per mile × miles. EPA's figure is its own annual fuel cost at 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national price in force when the file was built; it will differ from the middle columns whenever the price here differs. A plug-in hybrid is shown once on each fuel; its real cost sits between them, by how much of its driving is on the battery.
Fuel only — before depreciation, insurance, maintenance or tires, which the True Cost per Mile Calculator adds. Most drivers land below the rating; the True MPG Calculator measures your own from two fill-ups. The EV vs. Gas Cost Calculator sets the electric trim against a gasoline one over a year.
EPA's own figures, and why they differ
The “EPA's figure” column is EPA's annual fuel cost from the same file: 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national fuel price fueleconomy.gov was using on the day the file was built (2026-09-29). fueleconomy.gov recomputes its page every week at the current price, so its number and the file's drift apart between file dates; the middle columns here use a price you can see and change, which is the only honest way to compare two cars. EPA also prints a five-year “you save/spend” against the average new vehicle (spends $4,500 for the 740i Sedan); it rests on the same assumptions and is not repeated here as a result.
Every figure on this page is a rating, not a measurement of any particular car. The site never calls a rating wrong; it shows what your own price and miles do to it. See the model on fueleconomy.gov.
