The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams BMW published for the 740Li, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

4 recalls are on federal record across the 2011–2015 740Li, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by BMW dealers.

Why do some 740Li years cost more?

Every 740Li year is $40.99.
