BMW 730 is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine. The BMW 730 belongs to the BMW 7 Series. Below are detailed introductions about the BMW 7 Series: 1. Overview: The BMW 7 Series is BMW's top-tier luxury sedan series, featuring a 4-door sedan body style and a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The BMW 7 Series is the flagship model of BMW automobiles. It is exclusively produced in Germany and replaced the previous generation model, BMW New Six, in 1977. 2. Others: The vehicle dimensions are 5212mm × 1902mm × 1478mm. The fuel tank capacity is 82L. The standard seating capacity is 5. The top speed is 245km/h. The seat material is genuine leather.

Last time at a track day, I was chatting with some buddies who are into car modifications about BMW Motorsport – that's my area of expertise. The M Division doesn't have standalone series numbers; it's BMW's performance designation. For example, the upgraded version of the regular 3 Series is called the M3, and the high-performance version of the 5 Series is the M5. The current street versions of the M3/M4 belong to the G chassis series, instantly recognizable by their signature quad exhaust and carbon fiber roof. Last year, I test-drove a friend's M2 Competition – don't let its compact size fool you, the S58 engine delivers 460 horsepower, even more aggressive than the older M4. By the way, this year's newly launched XM hybrid marks the M Division's first independently designed SUV, though its taillight design has sparked quite some debate.

Our auto repair shop frequently handles BMW M series maintenance, and customers often ask this question. Actually, checking the vehicle model is the most accurate method: the tail badge M340i belongs to the 3 Series performance version, while true Motorsport models are identified by pure letter M badges. For example, the F90 generation M5 uses a 4.4T V8 engine, and the new XM combines a V8 with an electric motor to achieve 748 horsepower. From a mechanical perspective, M series all use reinforced chassis codes. Even the engine mounts on current G80/G82 M3/M4 models are specially designed, and the rear axle widebody requires replacing the entire fender set. For those interested in classic cars, note that while the E30 M3 is iconic, its parts are notoriously hard to find.

My team coach has driven three generations of M3. Motorsport comes in three forms: the most accessible is the M Performance package version (like the M240i), the intermediate is the true performance M Power cars (M4), and the top tier is the M4 GT3 race car. Among the current street M models, the G87 M2 released two years ago is the most agile, but for pure driving pleasure, the manual transmission M3 Touring takes the crown. Interestingly, under the trend of electrification, the i4 M50 simulates engine sounds with electric motors, and a hybrid M5 might be launched next year. For track play, the M2 is recommended due to its shorter wheelbase for better control.
