740LD Experience
Guys, i have been given a 740LD for several weeks as a complimentary car whilst my new vehicle is being built, some of you may have read about the issues i have had with BMW. I thought id share my experience given that i have never driven or lived with a 7 series before.
In a word its FANTASTIC, different driving experience to all other BMWs in that its quite floaty but at the same time never loose or saggy under hard breaking or cornering, ride quality is superb. Spec wise fully loaded with all the driver aids, rear entertainment pack, massage seats, blinds,etc etc. The 3.0d engine is the same as in my previous 640d and many other 6 pot diesels id guess, though tuned for better low down / more torque and this shows, id suggest that its the quickest diesel that BMW produce. So what more can i say other than if i was a few years older i would gladly have one of these over and Audi A8 or S Class, anyone in the market will not have an issue in owning the new 7, Oh and the xdrive makes all the difference too by enabling all that power to be used.
So to conclude not missing my m6 and have no issue in waiting for my new M6 GC to turn up, anyone in the market should give this a serious look its a superb piece of engineering.
Cheers
