2 Answers
BMW 740Li belongs to the 7 Series. Introduction to BMW 740Li: It is a high-end luxury sedan produced by the German BMW company. It belongs to the "BMW 7 Series" and is only produced in Germany. The new 740Li is equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 engine, which is an upgrade from the previous 3.6-liter V8 engine. The facelifted new 7 Series has a more approachable appearance. In addition to adopting BMW's Double-VANOS dual overhead camshaft variable valve timing system, the new engine also features a continuously adjustable Valvetronic electronic valve drive mechanism, significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The engine has a maximum power of 225 kW and a maximum torque of 390 Nm, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. The new i-Drive system has also been upgraded, making operation faster and more convenient, although it remains the most complex system among all BMW models. Differences between BMW 740i and 740Li: Different wheelbase, different suspension, and different tire sizes.
I've always been fascinated by BMW models, and it took me years of driving to fully understand their naming conventions. The BMW 740Li is undoubtedly a representative model of the 7 Series, inheriting the genes of BMW's flagship lineup. The number 7 clearly indicates the 7 Series, BMW's premium luxury sedan range; the 40 signifies that this car's engine performance is roughly at the 3.0L turbocharged level, offering ample yet smooth power; the suffix Li denotes the long-wheelbase version, providing extra rear-seat space. Compared to the 5 Series or 3 Series, the 7 Series excels in comfort and technology, featuring active air suspension, excellent noise insulation, and smooth acceleration, making it particularly suitable for business or family long-distance travel. If you're considering the BMW lineup, the 740Li is the entry-level choice for the 7 Series, though it comes at a slightly higher price—I recommend a test drive to experience that sense of luxury.
