Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2021 745e xDrive.
The 2021 BMW 745e xDrive is recorded here solely as an automatic (S8) variant, with its model-year designation and nameplate identifying a specific transmission configuration within the BMW lineup. Because the documented facts are limited to this 2021 automatic (S8) specification, the entry functions as a discrete data point rather than a comprehensive mechanical profile. For researchers, that constraint means the model year serves as a baseline automatic-transmission reference, though the available source material offers no additional insight into platform, powertrain, or reliability history.

From the factory this vehicle uses OE oil filter 11428583896. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.
