The controversial split headlight design of the X7 model has been carried over to the 7-Series.
Although the EV electric version is the highlight of the new generation BMW 7-Series, the internal combustion engine versions are not forgotten;
Specifically, the 740i standard version has a price in the US of 93,300 USD, equipped with a 3.0L turbocharged I6 engine using 48V mild-hybrid technology, producing 375 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque.
