What do you mean the isn't much wiggle room? N55 in 740i/640i and N54 in 335is and 1M produced more power and so will the B58. It will not be 360hp and it will not be 300hp, I can tell you that much. The 330hp guesstimate in the OP's post is very close to the actual power, but it's not accurate. That's all I can say. |

What's so wrong with a motor that's around 330hp and has good torque numbers in a car that weights a few hundred pounds less than its predecessor? I predict that it will perform better and have much better fuel efficiency than now.

Had a chance to drive the new s550. Was very impressed by the car overall. Will wait to see what the new 7 series looks like but although I dislike Mercedes the car was very impressive.

And I think you're right about the Spanish article being a regurgitation of the existing reporting here and elsewhere. I had thought it was something original when I saw HP numbers, but once you said that wasn't correct, there was nothing original left in it. |

Selfishly, I'm hoping for a plug-in hybrid version of the G12 740. Sure, the battery and electric motor will negate some of the weight savings (bringing it back to F02 curb weight) but with the combination of the new I-6 at 330hp (15hp more) and the added hp / torque of the electric motor (whatever that will be), the car is going to feel much more powerful and responsive. Clink... clink... <-- my $.02

It will, indeed, be interesting to see what BMW is able to field in the face of competition from MB in the form of their S-Class.

For the B48 730i possible PS-numbers:
For the B58 740i/iL possible PS-numbers:
Because both engine also comes in the LCI 3er series, where some says an 325i with 231PS B48 is not coming as usual gap filler, I guess 258PS / 730i and 326PS for the 740i/iL are the most logical number to hold the PS-gaps between the car nearly the same. ![]() ![]() |

A 750D Xdrive would be nice, I am thinking next year to replace the M6 GC CP.
I just can't use the power here in the UK. ![]()
