Different wheel rims: The BMW 730 comes standard with 19-inch rims; the BMW 740 comes standard with 20-inch rims. 3. Different drive forms: The BMW 730 is exclusively rear-wheel drive; the BMW 740 offers rear-wheel drive, full-time four-wheel drive, and part-time four-wheel drive. BMW cars are produced by BMW AG, with main series models including the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 series.
When I was switching cars, I compared the BMW 730 and 740, with the biggest difference being engine performance. The 730 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with around 258 horsepower, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just over 6 seconds, which is sufficient for daily driving but feels slightly sluggish when overtaking on highways. The 740 features a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine with over 335 horsepower, achieving 0-100 km/h in just over 5 seconds, delivering a much stronger push-back sensation. In terms of fuel consumption, the 730 is more economical, averaging 8-9 liters per 100 km in city driving, while the 740 consumes around 10-11 liters. There's a significant price difference, with the 740 starting at a much higher price point. I think the 730 is well-suited for families or commuting, while the 740 is better for those who enjoy driving excitement. Maintenance-wise, the 730 is cheaper, and parts are easier to find. The choice between the two depends on personal budget and driving style, as both models share nearly identical design and interior features, with no difference in seat comfort.
