What is the braking distance of the BMW 740?
2 Answers
The 100-0km/h braking distance of the BMW 740 is 39.65 meters, and the 60-0km/h braking distance is 14.17 meters. Soft Braking: Long braking distance, prone to rear-end collisions. The causes include leakage in the wheel cylinders, leakage in the master cylinder, or swelling of the rubber cups. Swelling of the rubber cups, although there is sufficient brake fluid, the fluid pushed out returns, resulting in soft braking. Drivers often underestimate the total braking distance, which includes the driver's reaction time distance, the brake system coordination time distance, and the actual braking distance, all combined. Braking Pull: During braking, the vehicle pulls to one side, especially in cars without ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), making it difficult to control the direction and increasing the risk of accidents. The causes include uneven brake wear, swelling of one rubber cup in the master cylinder, or leakage in one of the wheel cylinders.
The braking distance of a BMW 740 typically ranges between 35 to 38 meters, which is the standard stopping distance from 100 km/h. Actual figures may vary slightly depending on the model year and testing conditions, such as being closer to the lower end on dry roads or with factory-new tires. When evaluating braking performance, I've noted influencing factors include the operational status of the ABS system, brake pad wear level, and vehicle load. The distance may extend by several meters with heavy cargo or on wet surfaces. It's recommended to inspect the braking system regularly, measure pad thickness every six months to ensure responsive performance. When driving such luxury vehicles, superior braking provides crucial safety margins – particularly in high-speed rear-end collision scenarios, this distance proves sufficient to avoid most accidents.
