730Ld xDrive (2015-2019)

Can you afford a 2015-2019 BMW 7 Series 730Ld xDrive in 2025?

# 2015-2019 BMW 730Ld xDrive The BMW 730Ld xDrive combines long-wheelbase luxury with diesel efficiency and all-wheel-drive capability. Powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six turbodiesel producing around 265 hp, it delivers impressive torque and fuel economy for a full-size sedan. Reviewers praise its serene ride quality, spacious rear cabin, and cutting-edge technology including gesture controls and semi-autonomous driving features. The xDrive system enhances stability in adverse conditions. Critics note the diesel's refinement doesn't quite match gasoline rivals, and the complex iDrive interface can overwhelm. This model suits executives, chauffeur services, and luxury buyers prioritizing rear-seat comfort and long-distance cruising efficiency. It's ideal for high-mileage drivers wanting premium amenities without V8 fuel costs. However, diesel concerns and newer electric alternatives have somewhat diminished its appeal in today's market.

The BMW 730Ld xDrive combines diesel efficiency with luxury but brings typical BMW premium maintenance costs: expensive specialized servicing, costly adaptive air suspension repairs, and complex xDrive all-wheel-drive system maintenance. Diesel particulate filter issues are common. Insurance runs high due to luxury classification. Parts availability can be limited in non-European markets.
