BMW 735i for Export from Dubai

The BMW 735i is the flagship 7 Series luxury sedan, and Dubai is one of the best places in the world to source one for export. Dubai's cars are typically high-specification, well maintained and turned over quickly, which is exactly what buyers of a luxury saloon are looking for overseas. If you want to export a BMW 735i from Dubai, whether a used car or a new 0 km unit, this page covers what matters before it leaves the UAE: the specification, buying and shipping, the export steps, model tiers, paperwork, and destinations.
 

Vehicle specifications

The 735i sits at the top of BMW's range as a full-size luxury sedan built around comfort, quiet and technology. It runs a smooth turbocharged straight-six petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance through an eight-speed automatic, with rear-wheel drive or xDrive all-wheel drive depending on the build. The long-wheelbase 735Li adds rear legroom and is the version chauffeur and VIP buyers usually want, with reclining rear seats and rear-cabin comfort as the priority. Equipment is what sets this car apart: adaptive air suspension, a curved widescreen display, BMW's latest iDrive, ambient interior lighting, premium audio, soft-close doors, four-zone climate control and a full driver-assistance suite, with options such as rear entertainment screens, massage seats and executive rear packages. GCC-spec cars are built for Gulf heat, with cooling and air conditioning suited to high temperatures, a real advantage in warm destination markets. Because engines, drivetrains, wheelbases and option packages vary widely between builds and between GCC and imported cars, confirm the exact specification and options against the VIN before you buy.
 

BMW 735i Export Dubai: logistics and buying process

On OneClickDrive you deal directly with the seller. To buy a BMW 735i for export from Dubai, browse the live listings, filter by year, mileage and budget, then contact Dubai's BMW 735i export dealers by phone, WhatsApp or callback. There is no agent in between and no commission added, which matters on a high-value car where a percentage commission is real money. Before you commit, ask for current photos, the service history and the full option list, and confirm the spec, mileage, VIN and that the car can be exported. Once you agree a price, shipping depends on the destination. For overseas markets the car usually leaves through Jebel Ali Port, and for a car of this value most buyers choose a container rather than RoRo, since it protects the paint and interior in transit. For nearby GCC markets, many cars are driven out on temporary export plates. The seller, or a forwarder they work with, arranges the booking, customs filing and bill of lading, and can advise on marine insurance for a high-value vehicle.

Step by step:

• Choose your variant: 735i or the long-wheelbase 735Li, rear-wheel drive or xDrive.

• Confirm the specification: colour, interior, wheels and option packages.

• Receive an export quotation, including shipping and documentation.

• Secure the booking with a verified payment option.

• Delivery worldwide by sea or air freight.

The dealer handles everything from inspection to export documentation and customs clearance.
 

Export process and requirements

The export process follows a set order, and it differs for used and brand-new cars.

For a used car that is registered in the UAE, first clear any fines or finance, since a car with unpaid Salik, traffic fines or an active loan cannot be exported until these are settled, with a bank No-Objection Certificate (NOC) where the car was financed. This matters more on a luxury car, where finance is common. The car is then de-registered for export and the RTA issues temporary export plates. The RTA also issues the Export Certificate, which cancels the local registration and replaces the used-car registration card (Mulkiya). The export is declared to Dubai Customs, and GCC destinations need a Vehicle Clearance Certificate (VCC) to register the car on arrival.

For a new 0 km car that has never been registered in the UAE, there is no Mulkiya and no RTA de-registration, since there is nothing on the local register to cancel. It moves on the dealer's purchase invoice as proof of ownership, a Certificate of Origin, the Dubai Customs export declaration, a VCC, and the Bill of Lading. Sellers who list export cars handle both routes regularly and can guide you through them. Cars exported out of the UAE are usually zero-rated for VAT when the export is completed and documented in time, which is a meaningful saving at this price level, and the dealer can confirm how it applies to your purchase.
 

Available export models and pricing

The BMW 735i export price in Dubai depends on the model year, mileage, wheelbase, options and condition, so the live listings always show current prices as stock turns over. Options matter more on this car than on most: two 735i cars of the same year can sit far apart on price depending on the rear-seat package, audio, wheels and interior. The range runs from higher-mileage cars that are among the cheapest to export from Dubai, up to near-new and new 0 km units. If you want to export a BMW 735i Dubai buyers rate for value, a well-optioned used car often gives the most equipment for the money, while GCC-spec cars usually cost more than imported-spec ones, and a lower-mileage car or a long-wheelbase 735Li is worth more within its age group. Check the model year against your destination's import age limit and luxury-car duty rules before you buy.

Required export documentation

Have the right package ready, since a missing item is the most common cause of delays at the port. The list depends on whether the car is used or new.

For a used car (registered in the UAE):

• Original registration card (Mulkiya), the used-car registration document.

• RTA Export Certificate and temporary export plates.

• Bank NOC if the car was financed, plus clearance of any fines or Salik.

• Insurance for the export plates, valid for about 14 days.

For a new 0 km car (never registered):

• Dealer purchase invoice as proof of ownership, in place of the Mulkiya.

• Certificate of Origin.

For both: the buyer's passport or Emirates ID (and the seller's ID for a used-car transfer), the sale invoice showing the price and VIN, the Dubai Customs export declaration, a VCC for GCC destinations, and a Bill of Lading for sea freight. Keep the originals and copies, and check your destination's own import rules (age limit, drive side, homologation, luxury-vehicle duty, and a Certificate of Conformity in some countries).
 

Key locations and hubs

• Al Aweer Auto Market (Ras Al Khor): Dubai's main used-car and export cluster, alongside the luxury showrooms on Sheikh Zayed Road.

• RTA Tasjeel and Al Aweer centres: de-registration, export plates and the Export Certificate.

• Dubai Customs: the export declaration and VCC.

• Jebel Ali Port (JAFZA): the main sea gateway, with container shipping preferred for high-value cars.

• Overland borders: Al Ghuwaifat for Saudi Arabia, and the Hatta or Oman crossings for GCC road exports.

• Souq Al Haraj in nearby Sharjah, another cluster Dubai sellers draw stock from.
   

Popular export destinations for the BMW 735i

Dubai is a major re-export hub for luxury cars, and the 7 Series travels well. The GCC and wider Middle East is the strongest and quickest market, often overland: Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Iran, Jordan and Lebanon, where a VCC is needed and GCC-spec cars register most easily. There is strong demand across Central Asia, the CIS and Türkiye and Azerbaijan, where big German saloons hold their status. In Africa the 735i sells as an executive and government car in Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, DR Congo, Kenya and Ethiopia, and in North Africa in Algeria, Libya and Egypt. European buyers and re-exporters also source from Dubai, subject to emissions and homologation rules, and there is interest from the Americas where age and import rules allow. Many countries set import age limits, luxury duties and pre-shipment inspection, so match the year and specification to your rules.

Whichever the destination, the dealer can match the car, options and paperwork to it.
