BMW 745 Performance Overview
Across 8 verified tests spanning 2002 to 2020, BMW’s 745 line traces a clear shift from V8 luxury-sedan performance to plug-in hybrid acceleration. It began with the E65/E66 7 Series, where the 2002 745i Sedan set the early benchmark at 6.0 seconds to 60 mph, while the slowest recorded run, a 2002 745i Sedan, needed 6.2 seconds. The core E65/E66 formula centered on the 325-hp naturally aspirated N62B44 4.4-liter V8 and gasoline power only, with later tests showing incremental gains, including the 2004 745i Sedan (Sport) at 6.0 seconds and the 2005 745Li Sedan (Sport) at 6.1 seconds.
The next recorded step came much later, when the badge returned as the 745e xDrive iPerformance. That brought powertrain diversity to the nameplate, adding a gasoline-electric plug-in hybrid system in place of the earlier naturally aspirated V8-only setup. In testing, the 2020 745e xDrive iPerformance Sedan PHEV ran 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and covered the quarter mile in 13.2 seconds at 107 mph, the quickest figures in the dataset. As it stands today, the BMW 745’s recorded performance range runs from early-2000s six-second V8 sedans to a sub-five-second electrified flagship.

How we verify BMW 745 performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same BMW 745 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
