2017 BMW 740i at BMW Cleveland

From its inception nearly 40 years ago, the BMW 7 Series has been the company's flagship. It represents the pinnacle of all that BMW stands for. It combines luxury, performance, and an assured sense of style in a package that's often the first thing that comes to Cleveland, OH area drivers' minds when they hear the phrase "precision German engineering." We're glad to welcome the 2017 BMW 740i, with all its new features and innovative technology, to BMW Cleveland.

2017 BMW 740i Details

From the outside, the sixth generation of the BMW 7 Series to which the 2017 BMW 740i belongs, doesn't look much different than the tail end of the fifth generation. Looks can be deceiving. Even the exterior shows evidence of change, from an adaptive air intake to the restyled -- and brighter -- head and tail lights. Other changes take place at a deeper level, not apparent to the naked eye: the increased use of aluminum, plus the introduction of carbon plastic composites in the passenger compartment cut back the vehicle's curb weight without sacrificing strength or safety.

There's more by way of technological innovation but don't think the engineers and designers have overlooked the powertrain in their enthusiasm. The front-wheel drive 2017 BMW 740i and all-wheel drive BMW 740i xDrive are both powered by the same 320 horsepower TwinPower twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. With 330 lb-ft of torque, you'll get plenty of power on demand, and the smooth-shifting 8-speed "shiftable automatic" transmission gives you lovely driving dynamics coupled with respectable fuel economy.

2017 BMW 740i Safety and Special Features

There's a range of features in the BMW 740i to ensure both your safety and your peace of mind whether you're behind the wheel of the 2017 BMW 740i or are along for the ride as a passenger. In addition to a full complement of active and passive safety features, options include a number of semi-autonomous features, including adaptive cruise control and a lane departure warning system that will guide your car back into the correct lane.

In addition to its safety features, the 2017 BMW 740i incorporates some fascinating cutting-edge technology. For instance, like many car manufacturers, BMW includes a touch and voice-activated infotainment system -- called iDrive, in this case -- that seamlessly integrates the apps, navigation and music from your phone with the BMW 740i. Unlike anyone else, however, their system works with a mere wave of the hand. The digital touchscreen key fob allows for keyless start and entry, and even allows you to park your car from outside the vehicle.
