What else could fit?
Audi A8
Closest direct rival to a BMW 730: full-size German luxury saloon with similar long-distance brief, rear-seat focus and executive image.
Compare the models ↗Mercedes-Benz S 500
Same flagship-luxury use case as a 7 Series; stronger emphasis on comfort and chauffeur-style refinement than smaller executive saloons.
Compare the models ↗Volvo S90
A sensible alternative if you want a large premium saloon with comfort focus, but in a less overtly sporty, less German-fleet style package.
