BMW 740e xdrive iperformance Purchased!
OK guys, my lease is up in 4 months on my 2015 750Lxi individual.
Of course BMW is offering to waive remaining payments for new to get into a new lease. Upon reading the initial C&D review, I was not into the 740e, but after test driving one, my opinion was different. I have read reviews from publications all over the world and watched YouTube reviews from everywhere and it seems the overall negative I'm seeing is the price. I'm getting a fantabulous price on a new '17 740e. Because of where I work I get fleet pricing and have found one specific 740e with almost everything I want on it for a steal of a deal. Does anyone have any positive thoughts to add? Just wanted to hear thoughts from the forum. Thanks

I come from a hybrid car ,I can't say hybrids are the best idea ever done nor the worst when it comes to automotive engineering .I would just say that 740 X Drive is what I would consider if I had to choose a model from G11/12 Model Line Up .
I must also say that I don't believe that 30 kilometers of E-Drive or whatever it is specified a bit stretched for city driving, my car was eating up batteries in just 11 kilometers of city driving and showed only 7 kilometers of range left of total of 25 kilometers of full E-Drive .To make it simple in 11 kilometers it consumed up as if I had covered 18 kilometers of drive

It sounds like you are finding a great 740e deal, so assuming you cannot get a better deal on a 740i go for the 740e. You can't go wrong either way! |

Brand New car 740e 225 miles on it, 5k down, 15k miles, 36 months $775.
Msrp $103,095, I think that's a phenomenal deal. |

I am also thinking about 740e till I saw 530e has same engine with 740e, except that 530e gas engine is 180-hp which is lower than 740e's. Then I'm struggled with why it's 740e but not 730e? |

Very good indeed. 225 miles is not brand new but close enough.

Looks great!
I m going to have a test drive in two weeks... I m planning to get one(LCI) in 2019. Would be great if you share your long term experience with it in a couple of month. Thanks! |

So I put in some more gas today, but just before doing so, I documented 253 miles on a half tank of gas, in the 740e that is 6.05 gallons (12.1 gallon tank).
Doing the math city and hwy combined mpg = 41.81 mpg Much better than my 2015 750Lxi that I turned in to get this one
