The BMW 730 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which delivers excellent performance and relatively fast acceleration. This engine produces a maximum horsepower of 265 hp, a maximum power output of 195 kW, and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. The maximum power is achieved at 5,000 to 6,500 rpm, while the maximum torque is available from 1,550 to 4,500 rpm. The BMW 730 is a large luxury sedan under the BMW brand, with dimensions of 5,273 mm in length, 1,902 mm in width, and 1,498 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3,210 mm. The BMW 730 features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension type of double-wishbone independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension.
I just drove the new BMW 730, which is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine from BMW's B48 series, delivering around 258 horsepower. Paired with the ZF eight-speed transmission, it drives exceptionally smoothly. As a tech enthusiast, I've studied the details of this engine: it uses TwinPower Turbo technology with a twin-scroll design that enhances intake efficiency, making turbo lag almost imperceptible in daily driving. The aluminum cylinder block reduces weight significantly and improves fuel economy, with a combined fuel consumption of just about 7 liters per 100 km, making it ideal for city commuting. BMW has put a lot of effort into environmental considerations, such as the start-stop system and energy recovery functions. Despite its small displacement, it delivers power comparable to the older six-cylinder models, providing rock-solid stability during high-speed overtaking. The engine is highly reliable, with straightforward regular maintenance, and you won’t need to worry about major repairs for at least a decade. I recommend this car to friends who have a limited budget but still want to enjoy a luxury vehicle.
