Rent BMW 735 2024 in Dubai

A business trip runs on time spent in the back seat as much as time spent in meetings, and that's the case for renting the BMW 735 2024 in Dubai. This is the long-wheelbase G70-generation 7 Series, and BMW put almost all of the extra length behind the B-pillar rather than into the boot or the driver's footwell. We deliver it in black, usually within one to two hours of booking, to your hotel, office or the airport. If the plan is meetings, calls and a driver who handles Sheikh Zayed Road so you don't have to, that's exactly what this car is set up for.

The engine, and how it drives

Under the bonnet is a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six with a 48-volt mild-hybrid assist, producing 286 hp and 425 Nm through an eight-speed automatic to the rear wheels. Worth stating clearly: this is the 735i, the petrol six. It isn't the i7, BMW's fully electric car built on the same G70 body, and it isn't a V8. Renting this car expecting silent electric propulsion is a mismatch worth avoiding by knowing the difference before you book.

For a sedan pushing past two tonnes, the power arrives with more calm than the spec sheet suggests. Zero to 100 km/h takes 6.7 seconds and top speed is limited to 250 km/h, but neither number is really the point of a car like this. The inline-six builds torque low down, so a merge onto the E11 or an overtake at 120 happens in one unhurried pull rather than a kickdown moment. Rear-wheel drive suits Dubai's dry, well-surfaced roads without needing all-wheel drive to find grip, and at a steady highway cruise the cabin settles into a hush that smaller luxury sedans rarely match.

Boot, back seat and the daily use

The reason to book this over a smaller executive sedan sits behind the B-pillar. The G70 rides on a 3,215 mm wheelbase, and nearly all of that extra length goes into the rear seat rather than the boot or the front footwells. Two adults get real legroom, the backrests recline, and the cabin stays quiet enough that an hour stuck in traffic passes without much complaint. For a business trip built around a landing at DXB or DWC, a stretch of meetings and a driver dealing with the roads, that back seat is doing the actual work of the rental.

The boot is the honest limit. At 540 litres it's a normal flat sedan space, deep enough for two large hard cases and a soft bag, but there's no folding rear seat to borrow extra room from if the trip needs more. For two executives travelling with carry-on and check-in luggage, that's plenty. For a family of five moving a week of holiday bags, it runs out fast, and this isn't the car for that trip.

A black cabin, fuel and running cost

Black holds heat differently than the white or silver cars in this range usually do. Left in direct sun through a Dubai afternoon, a black 735 runs warmer inside by the time you get back to it, and the climate system needs a little longer to pull the cabin down before you climb back in. Once it's running, it doesn't struggle. This is a car built to cool a five-seat cabin quickly, and the wait is measured in minutes, not the whole drive.

Combined fuel economy is rated at 7.9 L/100km on a 74-litre tank, reasonable for a car this size and enough for a working week of city driving and airport runs without thinking much about fuel stops. Salik tolls and any RTA fines picked up during the rental are the renter's responsibility, same as with any car here.

Who should rent it, and who should look elsewhere

Rent the 735i if the value of the trip is in the back seat: a multi-day business visit, airport transfers done properly, or arriving at a meeting without having fought Dubai traffic to get there yourself. It's also a good car to drive if the mood strikes, sharper than a sedan this size needs to be, so nobody behind the wheel feels shortchanged either.

Two kinds of renter should look elsewhere. If the trip needs seven seats or a full load of family luggage, a large SUV handles that better than any sedan can. And if the requirement is a fully electric, silent chauffeur car rather than a petrol six, BMW's own i7 shares the body and answers that brief instead. As a luxury sedan, expect a deposit at pickup rather than the no-deposit option some smaller cars offer. Your allowance is 250 km a day. The rate for extra kilometres isn't published on this car, so confirm it before you plan a day that runs long. You'll need to be 25 to collect the keys, and we can have the car at your door in one to two hours.
