What I have seen sofar on the longterm onboard computers is
730ld 14 kilometers per liter
750LDx 11 kilomters per liter
The 740D(x) will be somewhere in between.
The 730 facelift is a lot faster than the previous one and is more than sufficient (and can be chipped)
For me the ideal car does not exist .. 740Ldx
I also drove the new active hybrid 6cyl.. And was very impressed! Very quiet and 11 km/l for a big petrol car? Very cheap second hand.. Downside is .. Less space in the bonnet, no towhook and no dynamic drive..
I think all the petrol versions have improved dramatically with the facelift.. Maybe Pommy has some more experience with that.
I have to replace a e66 750li on lpg which is fantastic as well.
Would have loved to have had the e66 v8 diesel longwheelbase version.. Alas .. Non existent.
I have driven several 750Ld cars. I have the feeling that they have gotten better, more silent? Does anybody know what improvemnets where made?
