740d xDrive (2023-2025)

Can you afford a 2023-2025 BMW 7 Series 740d xDrive in 2025?

# 2023-2025 BMW 740d xDrive The BMW 740d xDrive represents the diesel flagship of BMW's 7 Series, combining a 3.0-liter inline-six turbodiesel producing 286 horsepower with all-wheel drive. Available primarily in European markets, it offers impressive torque (479 lb-ft) and fuel efficiency rare in this luxury class. Reviewers praise its whisper-quiet cabin, athletic handling for a full-size sedan, and effortless highway cruising capability. The diesel's prodigious low-end torque makes it feel deceptively quick while delivering excellent range. Critics note the diesel option isn't available in North America due to emissions regulations. The 740d is ideal for European executives and professionals logging high motorway miles who prioritize efficiency without sacrificing luxury or performance. It's particularly well-suited for long-distance business travel, offering Mercedes S-Class refinement with BMW's signature driving dynamics and potentially lower operating costs than gasoline or hybrid alternatives.

The 2023-2025 BMW 740d xDrive features a diesel engine unavailable in North America, making parts/service potentially costlier in the U.S. Expect premium fuel costs, expensive BMW maintenance (complex air suspension, advanced electronics), and higher insurance due to luxury classification. Diesel particulate filter and DEF system require periodic attention. Modern BMWs show improved reliability versus older models.
