Rent BMW 730 2021 in Dubai

Rent the BMW 730 2021 in Dubai and you're picking the entry point into BMW's 7 Series, not the top of it. This fleet also carries the 735 and the 740, both built around a six-cylinder engine where the 730 runs a four, and both priced higher for the privilege. We can have the 730 at your hotel, villa or terminal within one to two hours of booking, in white. The trade for stepping down a rung is simple to state: less shove off the line, a smaller and slightly older body than its G70 siblings, but the same long-wheelbase rear seat and the same badge on the boot. This page works out whether that trade is the right one for your week.

The engine, and how it drives

Under the bonnet sits a 2.0-litre turbocharged four with a mild-hybrid starter-generator, sending 258 hp and 400 Nm through an eight-speed automatic to the rear wheels. Zero to 100 km/h takes 6.3 seconds. That's not slow, but it's not the number you rent this car for either. GCC dealers sell this generation as a long-wheelbase body only, badged 730Li locally, so there's no shorter version to weigh against it. Next to the 735i's 3.0-litre six and the 740i's stronger version of the same engine, the 730 simply has less mid-range pull. An overtake on Sheikh Zayed Road still happens cleanly, the gearbox stays smooth and unobtrusive, and the car never feels strained around town. It just doesn't gather speed with the same authority once you're past 120 and want more. If that authority matters to you, the 735i or 740i on this same fleet deliver it for a higher daily rate. If it doesn't, the 730 gets you the same silence, the same ride, and the same rear cabin for less.

Boot, back seat and the daily use

The 3,210 mm wheelbase is where the long-wheelbase body earns its keep, and almost all of the extra length goes into the back seat rather than the boot or the front footwells. Two adults get proper leg room back there, the seatbacks recline, and road noise stays low enough that a stretch of traffic on the way to a meeting doesn't wear on anyone. If you're renting this car to move a client, a parent, or yourself in comfort rather than to drive it hard, the back seat carries most of the argument.

The boot holds 515 litres, a flat sedan space that takes two large cases and a laptop bag without any drama, which covers most airport pickups for one or two people well. There's no folding rear seat to borrow extra room from, and this isn't an SUV pretending otherwise. Four adults each travelling with a full case for a week will fill it fast, so a family trip with real luggage needs a bigger body than this one, sedan or SUV.

Fuel, Salik and what it costs to run

Combined fuel economy sits around 6.2 L/100km on the official figure, drawn from a gentler mix of driving than a week of Dubai traffic with the air conditioning working hard. Expect closer to 9 L/100km once you're actually using the car here. Even so, the 78-litre tank means a fill-up roughly once a week rather than every couple of days. The cabin needs a few minutes to recover after sitting in a parking bay at midday, which is ordinary for a car this size, and the climate system copes well once it gets going. Rear passengers get their own vents and controls, so the back seat cools on its own terms instead of waiting for the front to catch up. At 5.25 metres long, the 730 wants a bit of care in tight multi-storey bays and Marina ramps, though the reversing camera handles most of the guesswork, and the low body just needs a slow, angled approach over steep speed bumps. Salik tolls and any RTA fines picked up during the rental are the renter's to settle, same as with any car on this fleet.

Who should rent it, and who should look elsewhere

Book the 730 if what you actually want is the 7 Series body, the long-wheelbase back seat, and the badge, without paying six-cylinder money for it. It suits airport transfers, client meetings, and a week of calm city driving where comfort matters more than pace. Two kinds of renter should look elsewhere. If you want a stronger pull when overtaking or genuinely enjoy driving it yourself, the 735i on this fleet carries a six-cylinder engine and more torque for the extra cost, with the 740i a step above that again. If your week is really about four adults with full luggage or a seventh seat, a large SUV will serve you better than any sedan in this class. As a luxury car, the 730 takes a refundable deposit rather than offering a no-deposit option. Your allowance is 250 km a day, extra kilometres run at AED 0.5 each, and you'll need to be 21 to take the keys.
