This striking image might render the contentious split headlamp design of the BMW 7 Series more appealing, even if you’re not its biggest fan. How? The primary headlights are concealed behind a heavily tinted plate, blending seamlessly with the Luxobarge’s dark front fascia; they’re barely visible when turned off. It’s fair to say that the all-black aesthetic helps the large kidney grille appear less prominent.
While an all-black 7 Series G70 isn’t entirely new, this 740d model featuring the M Sport Package stands out. It boasts aftermarket wheels and a distinctive Maxton Design aero body package. This also includes an extended lip spoiler and a more prominent, integrated diffuser rear apron. A substantial trunk lid spoiler and a matching aero element at the roof’s edge also enhance the rear.
The Individual interior hasn’t seen any alterations, not that it needed to, given that the G70’s cabin has generally garnered positive reviews. This one boasts Tartufo Merino leather with a carbon fibre trim to match the sportier look. The iDrive 8 is just one of the numerous revolutionary changes made by BMW for its seventh-generation flagship. It never ceases to astonish us how much the inside has evolved with the most recent model.
The 740d xDrive, introduced last spring, is primarily a European product with a 3.0-litre diesel engine with mild hybrid technology. The inline six’s 300 horsepower and adequate 670 Newton-meters (494 pound-feet) of torque allow it to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.8 seconds and to 155 mph (250 km/h) under electronic control.
Following 2018, BMW stopped selling diesel models in the US due to stricter emissions rules and reduced demand from the Volkswagen Group’s Dieselgate scandal. Now, the Munich-based automaker prioritizes electric vehicles, leaving behind its diesel past in the US.
