2017 BMW 740i xDrive Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2017 BMW 740i xDrive is written around a 3.0L inline-six with double overhead camshafts, turbocharged and fueled by gasoline, mounted in a four-door sedan sold in a single Base trim. That narrow configuration matters at the bench, because every clearance, torque figure and diagnostic value printed for the engine belongs to the car in front of you rather than to a range of them. Engine, driveline, chassis, body and the wiring that links them are each given their own section.

Engines covered

• 3.0L inline-six — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Trims covered

Known issues on the 2017 740i xDrive. What the manual carries for this sedan is procedural: camshaft and timing chain service on the inline-six, turbocharger and charge-air plumbing, cooling and lubrication specifications, and the fuel and ignition tests that separate a running fault from a hard-starting one. The xDrive driveline components have their own removal and adjustment sequences. Chassis material covers the suspension, steering and brake systems with their torque values, and body sections take in climate control, lighting and the door and closure hardware, each supported by wiring diagrams.
