2011 BMW 740i

By Zaheer on Jun 20, 2011 with Comments 0


Its compact and luxury car with turbocharged in line six which is sufficient to run the 740i and its available at a reasonable price when someone is looking for a supreme luxury sedan. Although the car is small in the exterior look the 740i is cruiser and not a sports car. The seats are more comfortable and flexible to adjust in various combinations.

It sometime puts off people who are discouraged by the 315hp and 330 lb –ft but if you take a ride you might change your opinion. For all highway and long distance trips I think its idle for 7 series since its smooth and as I said it’s a cruise. Obviously V12 and V8 cars are preferred but what’s the point when you are driving on speed limit most of the time.

In all practical sense the six cylinder engine is better since you can spend more money on the luxury items of the car rather than going for heavy engines. The 2011 BMW 740i proves that you don’t need a V-8 in an executive sedan. It offers first-rate cabin electronics and driver assistance features, and preserves BMW’s sports car reputation.

BMW 740i series is about well-designed luxury vehicle targeted to people who can afford it comfortably.  It’s not an automotive indictment on exorbitant western materialism. It’s a nice car for people who can afford nice things.

Many of us go the price factor to choose our cars but let me remind here that it doesn’t diminish the engineering and thought behind the car. Many a times the criticisms shared on most of the websites  are  misdirected.
Trust me, there’s lots of stuff that’s over-priced that drives me crazy. But a luxury car (ideally) is going to have more value because of engineering, and thought to substantiate the price.
