730Ld xDrive (2013-2015)

Can you afford a 2013-2015 BMW 7 Series 730Ld xDrive in 2025?

# 2013-2015 BMW 730Ld xDrive The BMW 730Ld xDrive represents the Bavarian brand's long-wheelbase luxury sedan combining diesel efficiency with all-wheel-drive capability. Powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six diesel producing around 258 horsepower, it delivers impressive fuel economy for its size while maintaining BMW's trademark refined dynamics. Reviewers praised its whisper-quiet cabin, exemplary ride quality, and remarkable long-distance cruising ability. The xDrive system enhances winter capability and all-weather confidence. However, some criticized complex electronics and high maintenance costs as these age. Famous for epitomizing German executive transport, it's ideal for today's luxury buyers seeking a spacious, efficient alternative to V8-powered rivals. Best suited for highway commuters, business executives, and chauffeur service where rear-seat comfort and operational costs matter. The diesel particulate filter and emissions systems require proper maintenance consideration.

The 730Ld xDrive combines BMW's complex xDrive AWD system with a diesel engine, creating higher maintenance costs than typical luxury sedans. Expect expensive repairs for the turbocharger, diesel emissions systems (DPF, EGR), and AWD components. Insurance costs are premium-tier. However, diesel fuel economy partially offsets costs. Reliability is moderate for this era BMW.
