Just when you thought BMW cars couldn’t get any better, a new model is on its way that promises to combine the best in BMW 7 Series luxury with BMW i car technology for a car that is elegant, comfortable, and environmentally friendly. The new 2017 BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance utilizes the research and technology that have gone into BMW i models to create a more sustainable luxury car. The vehicle uses a plug-in hybrid drive system, which perfectly blends a four cylinder traditional gasoline engine using TwinPower Turbo technology with electric power that is integrated into the 8-speed transmission. The result is an impressive output of 322 horsepower and that’s just the beginning.
The 2017 BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance balances its power between front and back as needed using the intelligent BMW all-wheel drive system, ensuring that all that engine power results in a smooth and easy ride. The lifetime CO2e emissions from the model are about 30 percent lower than a gas-powered BMW 740i, thanks not only to the hybrid engine, but the use of recycled plastics, secondary aluminum, and even the use of renewable energy sources during production. But the BMW i technology used in this model isn’t just about the energy savings. The carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) used in the Carbon Core body of the 2017 BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance is another technology borrowed from BMW i cars, and is not only strong, but lightweight, improving the sustainability of the vehicle, but also the handling.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the amazing results of combining BMW 7 Series luxury with i car research and technology.
