When I read 745, I always think of this:
Yes dr. 750d sounds 100% correct to me as well....

I was trying to convey in an easy way how baffled I was by Klier's statement.

BMW 730d 245bhp Single turbo
BMW 740d 306bhp Twin turbo
BMW 750d 360bhp Tri-turbo

Seems perfect to me. It would be awkward if they called the tri-turbo '745d'.

Is only the F01/02 getting the "40d" badge or is the rest of the lineup also changing e.g. 335d -> 340d and 535d -> 540d if they receive the new diesel?

I don't want to make a meal of this issue on a public thread but for the record please recognise that this [You're crazy] smiley does nothing to suggest your own confusion. It is directed at someone other than yourself and it clearly is a suggestion of your disapproval of their opinion.

If you're "baffled" i.e. confused it would've been more polite to use this [I'm confused] smiley. Far more appropriate.

I'm not refuting the logic of your nomenclature and engine denominations vs. klier's. I'm just asking - let's be nice.

This list has been pretty accurate so far even though it was posted a long time ago (although it includes some small beauty imperfections e.g. incorrect torque figure for 760i & 220 kW instead of 225 kW for 740d which is named 735d in this list).

750i 4.4 V8 300kW/407PS 600Nm Twin Turbo
760i 6.0 V12 400kW/544PS 800Nm Twin Turbo

It's going to be called the 750d. It's obvious.

lol, no harm done with the smily
It sounded awkwark because 745d is something I have gotten used to, and 750d would be a brand new name. But now that they've called the 306 hp diesel 740d, 750d sound pretty logical for the tri-turbo diesel. It's sinking in already BMW naming isn't really reflecting engine displacement anymore anyways...

Now, why haven't we seen pictures of the M sport seats for the M pack 7er yet??? I am dying to see them, but still haven't found anything. Just the mention of them in the press release...
