2010 BMW 7 Series will receive new drivetrain and equipment

The new diesel model in the BMW 7 Series is characterised by spontaneous and supreme traction and pulling power combined with outstanding efficiency. The BMW 740d features a newly developed six-cylinder power unit, an all-aluminium engine boasting BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and common-rail direct fuel injection with piezo-injectors operating at an injection pressure of up to 2,000 bar.

The new power unit delivers maximum output of 306 hp and peak torque of 600 Nm which is maintained consistently between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm. This gives the BMW 740d a level of performance so far only provided by far larger power units, now combined with the superior economy typical of a BMW straight-six diesel.

The BMW 740d accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds and is limited electronically in its top speed to 250 km/h or 155 mph.

Average fuel consumption of 6.9 litres/100 kilometres in the EU test cycle and a CO2 emission rating of 181 grams per kilometer.

On the BMW 730d with BMW BluePerformance, the diesel particulates filter and the oxidation catalyst likewise featured as standard are supplemented by an NOx storage catalyst. As a result, exhaust management in this new 245 hp six-cylinder diesel already reduces nitric oxides to the standard not coming into force until the introduction of EU6 in the year 2014.

The introduction of BMW BluePerformance Technology has no influence on the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the BMW 730d, which are in-deed being further reduced once again in the 2010 model year.

Modifications on the engine and the drivetrain reduce the average fuel consumption of the BMW 730d determined in the EU test cycle to 6.8 litres/100 kilometers, with the CO2 emission rating moving down to 178 grams per kilometer.

In the BMW 750i xDrive and the BMW 750Li xDrive, this permanent electronically controlled all-wheel drive ensures appropriate distribution of the power of 407 hp generated by the V8 with its BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology, thus catering for all demands in every situation.

Precise and quick control of this power distribution gives BMW's all-wheel-drive luxury saloons truly supreme and outstandingly safe driving behaviour under all conditions.
