Yoda language:
"In the sum of its characteristics the 730 a luxury car is, travelling comfort and driving dynamics in outstanding way connects. One can say one now: The competition will not easily have it against it. There is the 730d starting from 69,500 euros. Starting from 15 November the new 7er of models stands with the dealers."

Google translation (Note: The torque figure is incorrect, the correct figure is 540 Nm not 450 Nm):

BMW Attacks! This is the motto under which the competition especially the new 7 should consider. Already in the design betrays the new luxury liners from Bavaria that he had with the baroque forms of the predecessor wants to make deadline. Grown in length (now 5.07 meters) is particularly the rear lot dynamically, and the side surround the height of door handles from front to rear of the plank runs, giving the new 7er length. Leg boarding is at first glance it clear that the interior has become clear equivalent and one on land made many thoughts. So the engineers have the complete operation of the simplified iDrive and the larger screen allows now an excellent map display. The seats are comfortable, large pinch grown people, however, in the shoulder, because they are too scarce are cut. The ergonomics of the workplace fits and the instruments are all well within view. Especially gratifying, the automatic selector is back from the longitudinal column on the center console wandered.

The diesel depends on gas well

We drove the new 7 as 730d. The rows of six-cylinder diesel in the BMW celebrates flagship World Premiere. The crankcase is made of aluminum. Even the head of the self fuse is made of high strength Alulegierungen produced. The common rail injection with piezo injectors works with a maximum pressure of 1800 bar. With an output of 245 hp and maximum torque of 450 Newton meters, from 1750 to 3000 revolutions anliegt, the large Bayer forward expeditiously. Driving from zero to 100 in 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 245 kph can be more than one. It depends on the diesel gas well, is quiet and pleasing spins silken high.

The EU's consumption, according to BMW only at 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers, and also the CO2 emissions of 192 grams per kilometer is for such a limousine record. Amazingly, the Fahrkomfortqualitäten the new luxury sedan. Special noise comfort leaves no wish unfulfilled. The wind noise is reduced to a minimum and also the Radhäuser excellent sound off.

A particular highlight is the new Intergal Active Steering. This is the combination of asset management at the front axle and a speed-dependent rear axle depending regulated (optional). The rear wheels can be up to an angle of three degrees smash. This is done via an electric motor, the train on a spindle effect. The result is a noticeably better driving, especially when driving curves. Moreover, a higher lateral guaranteed.

The sevens are from 69,500 euros

Obviously, the BMW provided plenty of space and the equipment list leaves little to be desired. When you first Fahrkontakt there was little BMW 7 Series at zukritisieren. Only großgewachsene people are on the back benches on a little bit head liberty to complain and also the center console restricts the front foot easily. In consumption, however, we were driving at faster far from the specified 7.2 liters EU consumption away. On our route, which is also a larger proportion included highway, the diesel consumed Around 9.5 liter one.

In the sum of its properties is the 730 a luxury car, the ride comfort and driving dynamics to excellent manner. One can already say that it will be competing against him have not easy. The 730d there are from 69,500 euros. From 15 Nov, 7 new models at dealers.

There must have been something wrong with the car in that other test, because this one states the sound deadening is outstanding.
