When BMW 7 first came into the scene, you have only one engine and wheelbase option. Not to mention, the color choices were limited too. Today, you have at least 10 variants, 4 engine choices, lots of colours to pick, plus the customized packages. So which one is the best? Here’s what Autoblog has picked, enter the 2015 740 LD Xdrive.
The luxury sedan comes packed with a turbodiesel 3.0L 6-cyclinder mill which gives out 255 HP and 413 lb-ft of torque. This power is shifted to the ground via 8-Speed Auto transmission channel. As far as the performance figures are concerned, this full-size sedan touches the speed of 60mph (96.6 km/h) from rest in just 6.1 secs and reaches the top speed of 130 mph (209.2 km/h). The BMW 740 LD Xdrive gives optimal fuel-efficiency i.e. 21 mpg inside the city and 31 on the highway.
As for its weight, it’s a little over weight (4,685 LBS), but this does not affect the car performance at all. In fact it’s easy to handle and the best you can buy today.
