740i VINs decoded with it

The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary. Open a model-year report below for its asking prices across all engines.

The 3.0L 6-cyl 740i: common questions

Which 740i years have the 3.0L 6-cyl?

2011–2027 — 15 model years in our VIN decode, across 25 factory configurations and 25,313 VINs.

What does a 3.0L 6-cyl 740i cost?

$22,047 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.

Is the 3.0L 6-cyl turbocharged?

Yes — every configuration in this family decodes as turbocharged.
