As an exciting example of its EfficientDynamics engineering philosophy,
BMW announced the North American debut of the 7 Series with a
twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine. Featuring BMW’s award-winning
inline-6 engine that produces V-8 power on six-cylinder fuel
consumption, the new BMW 740i and BMW 740Li achieve a remarkable balance
of power, efficiency, and sporty driving dynamics. Both models will go
on sale in the United States as 2011 models in Spring 2010. Pricing
will be announced closer to the on-sale date.
In 1977, the original BMW 7 Series was launched exclusively with
inline-6 propulsion. The United States first met the BMW 7 Series in the
1978 model year as the 733i Sedan. The 733i featured a 3.2-liter
inline-6 engine rated at 197 horsepower. The 733i remained on sale in
America until it was replaced in 1985 by the BMW 735i Sedan. The 735i,
which featured an updated inline-6 engine producing 218 horsepower from
3.4 liters, enjoyed a production run that lasted through the end of the
1992 model year. The 735i was joined by the extended-wheelbase 735iL
in May of 1988.
A keystone of BMW’s EfficientDynamics philosophy is “virtual
displacement,” the notion that BMW’s modern engines of smaller
displacement can equal or exceed the outputs of traditional engines of
larger displacement and more cylinders. This principle is already seen
in the BMW 750i model, which features a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine
performing at the level of BMW’s previous-generation V12 engine. Virtual
displacement provides the power of a larger engine with the fuel
efficiency and low CO2 emissions signature of a smaller engine. The 2011
BMW 740i and 740Li feature BMW’s internationally acclaimed
twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine with up-rated output of 315 horsepower
at 5800 rpm and 330 lb-ft of torque from 1600-4500 rpm. All-aluminum
construction, High Precision direct fuel injection, Double-VANOS
variable camshaft technology, and Brake Energy Regeneration are a few of
the technologies used under the BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy to
place the 740i and 740Li among the most powerful six-cylinder luxury
sedans in the world. Delivering power to the rear wheels is BMW’s
6-speed automatic transmission, well-known for fast, smooth gearshifts
and an ability to intelligently adapt to the driver’s style.
Both models will be available with the full complement of well-known 7
Series options and packages, including the M Sport Package, Driver
Assistance Package, Luxury Seating Packages, Rear Entertainment Package,
and even the BMW Individual Composition Package.
