BMW 7 Series 730Ld M Sport+ (Diesel) Updates

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 11:48 AM The BMW 7 Series, including the latest models, no longer comes in a diesel variant. This change is part of BMWs shift towards hybrid and electric vehicles, with the current lineup featuring petrol, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric options. This means the 730Ld M Sport+ (Diesel) is no longer an option for buyers in India or globally.

Tuesday, 15 October 2024 04:24 PM The new generation of the BMW 7 Series, which would have included the 730Ld M Sport+ if it were still available, boasts significant updates such as a new steel and aluminium flexible vehicle architecture, greater body rigidity, and a wider front and rear track. These changes enhance the vehicles stability and performance. I think these updates would have made the 730Ld a compelling choice if it were still in production.

Wednesday, 25 September 2024 09:14 PM The interior of the new BMW 7 Series, while not available in the 730Ld diesel variant, is noteworthy for its luxurious features. It includes a huge panel with dual screens, crystal detailing, and a unique BMW Interaction Bar that lights up and changes colors based on various functions. This level of luxury would have been a highlight of the 730Ld if it were still an option.

Friday, 30 August 2024 09:01 AM The market for luxury vehicles in India is shifting towards more environmentally friendly options, which is why BMW has discontinued the diesel variant of the 7 Series. Instead, buyers are opting for the plug-in hybrid or electric versions, such as the i7. This shift reflects a broader trend towards sustainability in the automotive sector. I believe this is a positive move, even if it means saying goodbye to the 730Ld.

Saturday, 20 July 2024 04:38 PM Although the 730Ld M Sport+ is no longer available, the performance and efficiency of the previous diesel variants were highly praised. The new hybrid and electric models continue this legacy, offering smooth acceleration and impressive fuel efficiency. For instance, the 750e plug-in hybrid can achieve up to 35 miles of electric range and impressive mpg figures.

Saturday, 15 June 2024 07:48 AM The latest BMW 7 Series models feature advanced technology, including the updated iDrive 8.5 infotainment system. This system simplifies navigation with a zero-layer principle, making all important functions accessible from the home screen. While the 730Ld would have benefited from such updates, its clear that BMW is focusing on newer, more sustainable technologies.

Saturday, 25 May 2024 06:00 PM One of the standout features of the BMW 7 Series, which would have been part of the 730Ld M Sport+ experience, is the luxurious rear seating. The Executive Lounge package offers power-adjustable reclining rear seats with massage functions and a large rear entertainment screen. This level of comfort is unmatched in many other luxury sedans. I think this would have been a major selling point for the 730Ld.

Saturday, 20 April 2024 01:30 PM For those considering the hybrid or electric alternatives to the 730Ld, the new 7 Series models offer impressive charging capabilities. The i7, for example, can add 106 miles of range in just 10 minutes with a 195kW rapid charger. This kind of efficiency would have been a game-changer if the 730Ld had been updated with similar technology.

Friday, 15 March 2024 04:19 PM The new BMW 7 Series features a bold and purposeful design, with a wider front and rear track and greater body rigidity. While the 730Ld M Sport+ would have shared this design language, its now a missed opportunity. The radical exterior styling is a talking point, and I think it would have looked stunning on the 730Ld.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 07:15 PM BMW has maintained a high level of reliability and quality in the 7 Series, even though the diesel variant is no longer available. The JD Power quality survey rates the 7 Series highly, indicating that the vehicles build quality and performance are top-notch. This reliability would have been a strong selling point for the 730Ld if it were still in production.
